Episode 1 of DEPICTION shines a spotlight on Yoichi Nishikawa, a renowned background painter best know for his breathtaking work with Studio Ghibli. Known as The Painter of Clouds, Nishikawa draws inspiration from real-world landscapes, blending familiarity and wonder with his mastery of traditional techniques. His tools of choice? Nicker Poster Colour paints, a staple in animation and illustration, cherished for their vibrant colors and unmatched quality. In this episode, you’ll get an intimate look at Nishikawa’s creative process and learn how he’s preserving the timeless importance of brush + paint in an increasingly digital world.
