跟大家分享－潘學觀的部落格

我很興奮又迫不急待的跟大家分享，老外又介紹我：

這是中午，我看到了老外給我E-MAIL留言之後，發生的。

Taipei, Taiwan....對！一切都是值得開心。

原文如下：

Woody Allen by #PAN in Taipei, Taiwan.

It is OK to feel jealous of #PAN’s work here. I didn’t even know that Woody Allen plays the clarinet - apparently he does. I think it is really great to capture someone by doing a portrait of one of their other hobbies. Like Steve Martin playing the banjo or Jason Mraz in his Avocado fields. Brilliant.

This portrait is really stunning. There isn’t much to it when you examine every inch like I have - but that is where the artistry begins. Pairing down the elements of a portrait only to include the parts that are needed. All of the detail starts in the middle of the face and extends along the clarinet. Everything else around it slowly dissolves into the background.

I feel like I will be working on this particular point for the rest of my life. And I’m going to enjoy every minute of it.

#PAN keeps a few blogs: One for his watercolor work, one for his digital art, and one for his sketches. They’re equally amazing blogs and worthy of subscribing to.

以下為譯文：

對潘學觀這幅作品感到嫉妒是合情合理的。我都不知道Woody Allen會演奏單簧管（而他的確如此）。我認為繪製肖像時，將所描繪的對象之嗜好帶入畫中是捕捉神韻的好方法。就像彈斑鳩琴的Steve Martin 或在酪梨園中的Jason Mraz。這手法太巧妙了！
這幅肖像畫的確令人驚嘆。當你像我一樣一吋吋仔細檢驗這幅畫時，可能會覺得沒什麼驚人的技法；但實際上，這種乍看之下的平淡無奇才是藝術的起點。將肖像其他的特點淡化，只擷取重要的部份。所有的細節只做在臉孔中央，並順著單簧管做視覺上的延伸，其餘的部份則淡出和背景融為一體。
我想我在將來的日子中會致力追求這樣的畫面效果，而且我認為這心力的投注絕對是值得的。
潘學觀經營數個部落格：一個是水彩作品，一個是數位作品，還有一個是他的速寫作品。這些部落格都同等的優異，並且值得訂閱。
