( @ O@) What is this?? / なんだ、これは??

Hahaha, this is a carton (a carton used as a “support” of a painting, known as an “illustration board” in Japanese) “primed” with gesso (plaster). After the gesso dries up, I begin to paint some “imprimatura” with tempera.
Then, I’ll apply many very thin layers of oil — yes, I am turning the esquisse of “Weeping Face” below into a painting of tempera & oil on carton. This should take months!

ははは、これはジェッソという石膏で地塗りした、イラストレーションボードです。このジェッソが乾くと、テンペラで「インプリマトゥーラ」を塗っていきます。
そののち、薄い油彩の層を幾度も重ねていきます。はい、古典描法で、下のWeeping Faceのエスキースを作品にしようというわけです。何か月か、かかるでしょう!
