Dear friends, have you ever tried to get inspiration from the natural world? By observing the growth of all things and feeling the changes of the seasons, each of us can find our own beauty and tranquility. Turning all this inspiration into a work of art is probably one of the easiest and most effective ways to do it. Today, let me take you into this wonderful world - leaf rubbing.
Second, the origin and principle of leaf rubbing
Leaf rubbing, also known as "leaf molds", can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty in China. At that time, people often used leaves to rub handwriting, images and other objects to record historical and cultural heritage, celebrate festivals and other activities. After a long period of evolution, today's leaf rubbing has become a unique form of artistic expression, attracting more and more people to participate in it.
The working principle of leaf rubbing is very simple: first, the leaves with distinct veins and bright colors are placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry; Then, with auxiliary tools such as watercolor pens, color pens, erasers, etc., the shape of the plant is traced on the paper and the general framework of the pattern is constructed. Then gently wipe with a clean cloth to remove excess pigment to ensure the quality of the rubbing; Finally, it is turned and molded, and after the rubbing paper is dried, you can get a delicate and connotative leaf rubbing painting.
3. Points to note in making leaf rubbing
There are a few key points to note in the process of making a leaf rubbing: first, choose the leaves that are suitable for the rubbing and the subject matter of the painting; Next, the pre-absorbed leaves must be completely air-dried, as over-dehydration or retention of too much water will affect the rubbing; In addition, the choice of pigment is also very important and should be used in combination with water or oil, as appropriate.
Overall, the foliage rubbing is full of endless fun and surprises. It can be used not only as a fun extracurricular activity to cultivate children's love for nature and art, but also as a social interaction between adults to live a better life together.
Dear friends, let's pick up the tools in our hands and start this beautiful journey! I believe that in this process, you will not only harvest a unique work of art, but also experience the beauty and warmth of life.
