Exclusive interview:Rock color artist Lian sheep.
After many years of declined in the Dunhuang mural, the lotus sheep took the Silk Road, watching the elegant bodhisattva statue in the mural, the graceful mountains and rivers,The story of compassion, she grinded with shells, dipped a touch of malachite green, sprinkled a gold foil, and picked up the five -color pen in her hand to restore the glory of the past.Starting painting from an early age, he was a lotus sheep who used to be a first -class illustrator. He devoted himself to studying this skill of the thousand years ago and actively carried out rock education. With his own power, more and more people learned about this traditional art in China.
Lotus sheep who started to learn painting at the age of 3 did not expect that one day I would paint with gems.After college, he entered Yangmei to study digital. After graduation, he became an illustrator. With solid painting skills, wonderful creativity, and familiarity with software, Lotus sheep became famous.She was invited to go to Japan, Russia, and Spain to participate in the exhibition. Fans abroad call her "the youngest dragon master in China".But until 2010, she suddenly discovered that the development of software is becoming more and more convenient, and the threshold of CG has also decreased. In the face of technology, the advantages of superb painters have gradually declined.At that moment, the lotus sheep suddenly felt anxiety.
Rock Color Painting Artist-Lotus Sheep
"I want to change a moat The wider track has made the life span longer.
The desert yellow sand, euphratica red willow, strong cinnabar, solemn stone green, mysterious scenery and bright colors constitute exquisite murals. This is deepAttract the lotus sheep.She learned that behind the world -famous Dunhuang murals, there is a little -known drawing skill -Yan Cai.It originated in China. It was the earliest Panpo Pottery in the primitive era, and then prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, falling in the Song Dynasty where literati paintings rose.Young people go to restore and revive. "
Works "And Leave the Late Photo in Flowers"
Lotus sheep decided to decideStarting from scratch, go to all places to learn rock color skills.Different from the computers I learned before, Iwye can not be done with a hand -painted board and a few drawing software. All steps must be personally done. From the grinding of mineral pigments, to the production of glue, the mounting board must be manual, it must be manual.Production, "If there is time, the teacher requires the paper used by the painting to make it. This is the greatest understanding and respect for the work."
The creation of rock color painting is the first step to polish the modified line draft, and then need to pour powder on the base of the first layer.Brush glue, paste gold foil, and then use other ore powder to color with other ore powder after drying. Such steps need to be repeated and carefully portrayed, and finally a good work can be born.Therefore, every work of Lotus sheep has been drawn for several months or even a year.
The details of the artist Lian Yangs "and staying in the evening photos"
In constant learning, Lian Sheep realized the rockThe charm of color is the use of ore pigments.The color of the ore is stable and will not fade. The particles grinding into different thickness will show different color effects, and produce shiny refraction, allowing the picture to show charming texture and luster;The distribution of the proportion in the picture makes the works also produce a different contrast relationship; the particles of different colors are repeatedly superimposed, and it will also produce a hazy color point.It also makes rock paintings uniquely "three -dimensional".
Like the Bodhisattva in Dunhuang murals, if the real gold and crown of the real gold, you can first make a breeze, and then stick it to the gold foil.Essence"The charm of Yan Cai is to watch on the spot. As long as you move, the light changes, and the color and texture of the painting change."
The painting process of the artist Lian Sheep
Once a Japanese teacher told Lotus sheep, the Japanese thousands of years ago, the Japanese thousands of years ago, the Japanese thousands of years ago, the Japanese thousands of years agoCrossing the sea to China Xueyancai, now artists like lotus sheep bring it back to China by exchange. "This is the meaning of culture, and it will never break."
The rock color is derived from China, and it is created in the Chinese atmospheric and bright cultural heritage. The works with high saturation with high saturation to present a brilliant and prosperous scene.After the spread of this skill to Japan, the atmosphere of advocating the beauty of things makes Japanese rocky works more calm and dark tones.Although Lotus sheep returned from Japan ’s study from Japan, her work was full of traditional Chinese colors. From the contemporary perspective, she used the ancient technique of regaining the" new "thing to" new "things.

From the ladies, the heroine of the history to the little fairy wearing a black hat and flower, the only female goddess Zakiram, the dragon series, and the goddess series, the work of the lotus sheep will findA common: she re -interprets the characters and gods in traditional Chinese culture. The image is female. "Because I am a woman, I am better at depicting women."
"Will Meet to Yaotai Moon" depicts a portrait of contemporary national style ladies: a group of modern women put on Hanfu and then dress up as ancients.Crystal, female pornography, electrical stones, agate and other gem colors, plus the unique stacking techniques of rock color make the eight ladies shine in light and shadow.After completing this work, Lianyang began to think about whether the characters in the painting could have a control role and opened a thick ancient book literature. She took the team to find female representatives in various fields in history.From planning to creation, it took more than a year, and "and staying in the evening" was born.

In a style of collecting in Tibet, China, Lotus sheep heard that there was a female wealth god in Tibetan culture for the first time, so she curiouslyTake a look.It turned out that Zakirams image was appalling. "It is no wonder that everyone who engaged in cultural research did not know her, and felt that her image was not integrated with this era."In the eyes of the lotus sheep, Zakiram is a very cute "alcoholic" God of Wealth.Lianyang hopes to spread such a rare female image and decide to draw a "makeup photo" for her each year, so she has the Zakiram series.
Works "Zakiram Nine"
Zakiram series is very delicateEvery work can see the combination of lotus sheep trying to try different media and different techniques, and she can also see her evolution in rock color techniques.The paper used in "Zakiram Four" is special. It is a dark tea -colored paper leather paper specially made by papermakers. It not only retains the original color of the skin, but also more tough and wear -resistant than conventional hemp paper.After applying glue alum water to make mature paper, then brush the clam powder, and post silver foil on the paper after drying. This is the moment when the lotus sheep will appear at any time.She has her new practice, which has lasted for nine years.
In life, Lotus Sheep has some cute "occupational diseases": When you see others wearing a bead skewers, start thinking about making paint;Whenever she goes out, she must pick up some stones and go back to make pigments.Lotus sheep also has a stone picker: there can be crystals in the suburbs of Beijing; near Kunlun Mountain, there are open -air Yunu Mine.She has always been attached to picking stones, and this persistence is also used to find various ways to spread Chinese rock color.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the revival of Rock Cai was difficult. The spread path was only newspapers and TV.The brilliant rocky was printed on the black and white newspaper, and it lost its charm.Nowadays, with the development of video platforms, Yan Cai and some traditional culture have been spread wider."Now artists should learn to use the media from the media, it gives us a fair opportunity." In order to let more people know Rock Cai, Lotus sheep has cooperated with major video websites early.Time, I continued to be popular science.
