藝術家介紹
八館ななこ Nanaco Yashiro
來自日本的少女系畫家，作品繽紛的色彩與夢幻元素，常常讓人聯想到童話故事與其中的精靈仙女；畢業於女子美術大學，在學期間，就在教授的協助下找到屬於自己的風格。有條有理的他，發展出一套完整的顏料儲存與配色紀錄模式，不論是數位委託，或者手繪壓克力作品，都秉持一貫的細膩筆觸與柔美色彩。
With a touch of fauvism, Japanese painter Nanaco Yashiro incorporates elements of shoujo manga into her work, merging them with her classical training from Joshibi University of Art and Design. She arrived at her signature style under the guidance of her professor. Being perfectly organized by nature, Nanaco developed a system to record all her color palettes. Through trial and error, she has managed to present a unified color scheme across all her analogue and digital artworks, with attention to detail and harmony in equal measures.
Q：請問你如何選擇以壓克力顏料，或者其他媒材創作？是好賓Holbein還是其他品牌？據說你將顏料以透明容器存放，並用紙盤作調色盤？顏料乾後、噴保護層之前，遇水會不會活化？
A：我通常用Turner德蘭的不透明壓克力顏料作畫；我熱愛畫布的質地，所以我自己畫畫一定要用畫布，但是接案時因為時間通常比較緊迫，多半會以數位方式完稿。如果定期加水，以透明容器保存顏料可以放三個月，最長有時可以放到六個月之久。我儘量妥善保存，這樣我畫下一幅畫時還可以繼續用同樣的顏料。紙盤上的顏料乾掉後會變硬，無法再使用，但我會留下作為用色的紀錄，有便於往後找出最常用的顏色。
Q: Have you always preferred acrylic gouache as your primary choice of medium, particularly from what brands? We understand you keep it in clear containers and on paper palettes, does it dry fast? After it’s dried, do you reactivate it with water before applying sprays and varnishes?
A:
■ About the painting materials
I usually use acrylic gouache. I use Turner's acrylic gouache. Also, I love the texture of canvas, so I can't leave out the canvas. When I paint for commissions or jobs, I often paint digitally due to time constraints.
■Clear containers
By getting into the habit of adding water or medium to the paint in the clear container on a regular basis, the paint will last approximately three months. Sometimes it would last for more than six months at the longest. I try to maintain the paints so that they can be used for a long time since I can reuse the paints I used last time when I start the next piece of artwork.
■Paper palettes
Paint that adheres to the paper palette will completely harden and become unusable. However, I often keep it for my records because it gives me a better understanding of what colors I tend to use most often.
