Mineral hand-painted | Earth Art.

There is a deep relationship between minerals and painting art.

Many paints in traditional Chinese painting, thangka and murals.

Are all made of mineral grinding powder.

Therefore, it can maintain bright colors after thousands of years.

The blue stone blue in the pigment is made from azurite.

Green stone green comes from malachite.

Red ochre comes from hematite.

Black rock black is made of ilmenite.

When we look at a mineral.

Shocked by its unpolished and unpolished original form.

You can find the charm of this natural beauty.

And may be suddenly obsessed with minerals.

This non-renewable, non-replicable natural resource.

Hand drawing of symbiotic mineral samples of crystal and siderite.

This is a symbiotic mineral of topaz and vitrinite.

Most of the minerals in nature do not grow in isolation.

Many minerals are symbiotic or associated.

When choosing minerals to collect or paint.

Very different minerals, rich crystal forms, textures and colors.

Often collide with unexpected sparks of thought.

To form a special artistic style.

Chrome-lead mine hand drawing.

Just like humans.

Minerals have different personalities.

The siderite is bold and bold, the stone is exquisite and elegant.

Even if it's the same mineral.

Each piece is different.

In the process of painting.

Watercolor, color lead, marker or composite materials, etc.

All painting materials can be used to express the texture of minerals.

Take science popularization as the primary purpose of painting.

The creative idea without any subjective elements can be adopted as far as possible.

This kind of creative thinking runs counter to conventional art creation.

Is to try to deal with it without artistic treatment.

Record the creative ideas of minerals with the most authentic strokes.

However, it is precisely because of this idea of "inaction"

The work produced a lot of unexpected results.

And derive different forms of artistic language.

This is actually the artistic language shown by the mineral itself.

Molybdenum lead ore oil painting.

The two oil paintings here.

It is to use minerals to prepare pigments through grinding, refueling and other processes.

Created with the techniques of oil painting.

Traditional painting techniques are not suitable for all minerals.

Taking the mineral itself as the guide should be the first principle.

Each mineral has its own characteristics different from other minerals.

That's its unique charm.

It is also very important to choose different painting methods according to mineral characteristics.

For transparent minerals, you can choose a black background.

Like the molybdenum-lead ore above.

Tourmaline oil painting.

Compared to the white background.

The black background one is more able to set off the mineral color.

Second, it can better show the characteristics of mineral permeability.

You only need to deepen the dark part to create the feeling that the mineral reveals a black background.

In contrast, columnar tourmaline can use a white background.

The problem of light shows that the mineral color is darker.

And light color has a better foil effect.

From preparation to formal completion.

Most of the mineral hand-painted works take a long time.

Take this Tianwu manganite as an example.

It took two years to finally complete.

We can see her gorgeous figure in many mineral exhibitions.

"Chinese Emperor" and "Chinese Queen"

Was simultaneously found in Cangwu County, Guangxi in 2009.

The two pieces with the largest volume, the largest single crystal and the best quality.

Her appearance shocked the 2011 Tucson Mine Show.

Painting can only capture the temporary form of freeze minerals.

And mineral color and reflection.

Will change with the color of the irradiated light.

Even if you try to catch.

It is also difficult to show all these variables in a single painting.

In different aesthetic environments.

Minerals can show different artistic characteristics.

It's what's fascinating about nature.

And painting can be made through the observation of the human eye and the choice of the painter himself.

Achieve the best effect of aesthetic art.

That's why.

The reason why realistic painting still exists.

Because any kind of material or technique.

As long as it can show the beauty of minerals.

They are all worthy of reference and application.
