A silk book that is indispensable in talking about Oriental art.

The unique smooth surface created by the silk thread is a very attractive material, but it takes some processes until it can be viewed as a work because it is less robust as a material compared to hemp and hemp paper. Masu.

First, one silk is silk by applying silk into the wooden frame, and by asking the osteo writer to back strike (reinforcement work using thin paper) and aspect (work to be placed between the floor and walls). For the first time, we are in the "hanging scroll" we see at the museum.

"Asahi Sun Fig"

For these reasons, silk is treated as a "poor yield (grapes) bad support", but at the same time, silk has a smooth gloss and texture that can only be expressed with fine textiles. Masu.

If you look at the above process, many people think that the hurdle is still high. However, if you read this article, it may change to the feeling of "but I want to do it."

First of all, the charm of silk lies in the beauty of the picture skin.

The delicate texture and bleeding born from spinning threads create a fine drawing skin that cannot be expressed by mulberry paper or ruby ​​skin.

Using the effect pigment makes it even more gorgeous.

Not only the old materials but also these new materials can be used for silk.

Next, you can also express such a gradation.

This uses a water -dried pillar. The soft color blurring is beautiful.

In addition, by drawing from the back side like a glass picture, it is possible to express a layer with a layer that makes use of the material of the silk.

Here is the silk that the above colored from the surface. Looking at this from the back ...

The color is like a white grazing. Indeed, a color space unique to silk.

In this lab, we have three types of thick picture silk: 2 -chicks (thin), 2 -sashimi (middle exit), and three -sided gauge (thick mouth). By all means, please find the one with your favorite thickness.

The pigment used is free. You can use not only Japanese painting materials such as rock paint, ink, and dried water, but also effect pigments and pigments. If you use rock paint, use a fine coloring material of 10 or more particles of 10 or more from the fixation perspective.

The binder is recommended to use glue because it takes the process of backing.

This is because in the process of dressing, the whole work may be moistened and worked, so the work itself is required to have moderate elasticity.

At the same time, moderate flexibility is required so that the scraping is less likely to occur even if it is rounded to make it a scroll.

"Asahi Daily >> taken out of the box (box containing the work)

For this reason, acrylic paint and alchid resin, which are completely water -resistant, are not a problem from the fixation perspective, but is not suitable for aspects and long -term storage.

Pigment Tokyo's YouTube channel introduces how to stretch silk.

At first glance, it seems difficult, but please be assured that the lab art material expert is carefully explained.

Tools for tension are also available at the online store of this lab.

If you are interested, please check it out.

In addition, if you want to do a display after drawing, we will consult with us from the inquiry form of this lab.
