【これが88歳の作品！？】葛飾北斎が老いてから描いた画が強烈すぎる【波の画だけじゃない】 | 幕末ガイド
甲州石班沢（1831〜35年／『冨嶽三十六景』より） 葛飾北斎 70歳〜74歳ごろ
藍摺絵（藍色の濃淡のみで仕上げた画）の傑作。「いろんな表情の富士山を描くよ！」というコンセプトシリーズ『冨嶽三十六景』のひとつ。ベロ藍（プルシャンブルー）とよばれる色がなんとも美しい。当時、海外の芸術家たちを驚愕させたこの色使いは、“Hokusai and Blue Revolution（青の革命）”とも呼ばれているそうで。
ちなみにこれ構図も面白くて、岩と猟師の持っている網で富士山と同じ三角形を描いています。

Hayao Miyazaki’s advice on how to use transparent watercolors in the booklet of the Ghibli Museum Sketching Set.
Title: My recommendation. Transparent watercolor is good.
“transparent watercolor has a strong habit”, “do not paint stickily and paint after wiping the extra paint and water off”, “paint thinly the bright part”, “had better not use white”, “paint other color after under color has dried”, “let’s mix the color and use it.”
Light the wool which protrudes on a new painting brush.
Anything is fine for a water vessel.
A retractable knife is enough for the pencil sharpener.
One 2B pencil is enough for the pencil.
Divide the palette into seven zones: Bright, Dark, Black, Green 1, Green 2, Blue 2, Blue 1.
Do not use the eraser.
Do not draw a guideline for a picture.“these painting materials are enough for a 2-week trip and preparations for a movie.”
Found this on Nausicaa.net along with the news that the new Takahata and Miyazaki Ghibli films for next summer are expected be announced this week!
