Watercolor by Shibasaki

Japanese Language Listening

Recently discovered this guy. He talks kind of slowly, so it’s pretty ok to follow, and the watercolor is pretty fun and peaceful to watch. He’s basically a Japanese Bob Ross.

Have a look!

Also he has a link to instructions as to how to turn on subtitles in YouTube. Such a helpful gentle man :blush:

Here is his instagram as well! His paintings are gorgeous:

I saw that video, he talks about his health, but I didn’t think he talked about quiting specifically, mostly about wanting to know what people really wanted from him and changing content accordingly if his condition was getting better.

EDIT: Looking through the thread, there were no videos posted, so I never really made the connection :sweat_smile:

I didn’t watch it yet, but I hope he will get better soon. He’s so positive and encouraging, it’s sad to see him sad.

And yes that’s the topic!!

While his Japanese is relatively easy to understand, I can’t really create a painting that beautifully with just his instructions lol

Thank you for sharing this video on a random Tuesday morning. Totally calmed my spirit. I was also struck by how much we think kids (and when we were kids as well) are just making a mess with watercolor, but with some technique, all of those drips and splotches can be transformed into beauty.

I think I have to start watching his channel when I need a pick me up!!:v:

かぼちゃ is delicious, I look forward to it every year. He had another video a few days ago too, again a silent film but a nice autumn scene. I was expecting a huge canvas but the title picture fooled me.
