  • Brian Towers

    Brian Towers

    Wonderfully skilled painting Hidemi. You mentioned recently that you hoped to paint 500 pictures in a year. I can only guess that paintings like this masterpiece much take you very many hours so perhaps you never sleep. How on earth do you keep up the output?

  • Hidemi Tada replied

    thank you very much for your concern about my output. i am now painting last oil painting, and after finishing it. I will move to watercolor and pastel, then I can paint three works a day. i am Japanese, I will keep my words. if not, i will do Harakiri, Brian.

    I’m wondering, like Brian, how you produce such quality day in day out? Do you ever sleep Hidemi?

    You are a legend, this is exquisite.

  • Hidemi Tada replied

    thank you so much Laura. I am sleeping very well. but another all time, i edicate for painting. this year I will do 500 pieces of work. Can you believe me?

  • Laura Barber-Riley

    Laura Barber-R...

    I don’t doubt you at all Hidemi! Look forward to seeing you achieve your goal. Quite sad you have given up the oils though, they are my favourite!

  • Hidemi Tada replied

    because oil painting needs more time and cost than other materials. but I am sure i will be back with my original oil paintings. thank you laura.
