STILL LIFE PLANTS
By Masaaki Sugita 1988 to 2010
Complete works

It was Jan 1989 when I began to paint flower same as a botanical art, inspired by the exhibition catalogue “ALBRECHT DÜRER and the Animal and Plant Studies of the Renaissance by Fritz Koreny NYGS 1988. This book is my favorite still now.
Those works are the life size painting. I used at first gouache til the work 7001008, but I found I could paint it realistically even with watercolor as same as gouache while I was proceeding the works. I like watercolor on paper rather than gouache, because watecolor keep the fine texture of paper even though the pigment painted over with watercolor material, contrary to the gouache covered over the surface of paper.
I add two works done before 1989, 7001001 and 7001002 as the still life plant category.
