My system is not decent

Chapter 1267 Stunning, cloisonné enamel painting
For crafts such as cloisonné enamel, if Chen Wenzhe has the ability and opportunity, he also hopes to combine cloisonné enamel painting with public welfare undertakings to make intangible cultural heritage skills more valuable.

This is a higher level of spiritual pursuit, and it turned out that Chen Wenzhe definitely couldn't think of it.

However, as a craftsman with a civilization inheritance system, the inheritance of civilization should be put on the agenda.

After thinking wildly for a while, Chen Wenzhe carefully crafted a small pendant in front of him again.

Either a jug, or a dish, or a cloisonné enamel pendant.

This kind of craft is also very simple, this is the soul of ancient gold-cloisonné enamel!
Well done, the pictures on it are as beautiful as oil paintings on gold.

Cloisonné enamel is a kind of enamel technology. It is used in ancient gold jewelry, which is equal to injecting soul.

At this time, the jewelry is immediately flexible and colorful, with content!
It's really like laying a layer of oil painting on gold, it's so beautiful.

Enamel can be regarded as a kind of pigment, not a gem, but it has the color of a gem.

The ancients also used it to replace precious and difficult-to-process gemstones.

The so-called filigree refers to pinch out patterns and shapes with frames on the surface of gold ornaments.

Then fill with enamel of different colors, and then fire, finally crystal clear, pure color.

The pattern of the well-made cloisonné enamel has a very obvious shape and a strong three-dimensional effect, which is convenient for freehand brushwork and vividness.

Especially the depiction of animals will be particularly vivid, and the overall color is also very layered.

Why, say enamel is like oil painting?

Because its color is thick and has a sense of gradient, it can be muddy or clear, just like painting.

Therefore, jewelry has a more exciting way to open it. If it is just a pure gold pendant, it still feels a little dull.

Filigree is actually a kind of ancient gold craft. Generally speaking, it is to pinch gold into thin wires, which is more delicate and textured.

Another example is some flowers, which need to be displayed very carefully, and filigree craftsmanship is also required, which are all products of meticulous craftsmanship.

The pendant that Chen Wenzhe is making now uses filigree to show the rhizome of the lotus flower, which also shows the jumping movement of the carp, which makes people feel that it is very rich in content.

In fact, this is not only the use of ancient methods, but also the aesthetic art of modern people.

Compared with gems, enamel is more everyday and close to the people.

Large gemstones are not easy to cut and set, nor can they be freely filled like enamel.

But in terms of effect, it is comparable.

Take this slightly larger pendant as an example. Its surface is thin filigree, inlaid with onyx, and matched with enamel.

There are not many, but it becomes the finishing touch, and the cost will not be increased too much. The ancient gold jewelry has expressive power at once.

Pay attention to color matching, let the "gold" of ancient gold become the background color of enamel, and use red, blue and white to blend.

This color is neutral and classic, festive and attractive!

With cartoon auspicious animals and plants with good meanings, it will make the jewelry more delicate and lovely.

The ancient gold jewelry under the cloisonné enamel technique, the combination of patterns and colors can also better express the Chinese style.

Secondly, it can seek change while maintaining stability, explore various forms of expression, and help create national fashion jewelry.

This is also a trend!If you want to make more, there are pendants, collars, hand tags, bracelets, bracelets and more.

These jewelry can be made using the ancient gold filigree enamel technique.

Of course, these are just trails compared to real cloisonné works.

However, Chen Wenzhe was afraid that he would not be able to make a large pot of cloisonné at once!
After all, if it is a large piece, the area and space of the enamel painting on it are too large.

If you are not skilled, it is easy to make mistakes.

Such a waste of effort is really too much, one failure, one month, or three to five months, is wasted in vain.

In this way, he might as well start small.

After making some pendants, he has accumulated some experience in making small enamel paintings, so that he can make some slightly larger enamel paintings next.

At this time, you can go a step further and skillfully use the choking technique.

Coupled with the mature strangled enamel picture, the possibility of failure in the production of complex copper-bodied enamelware will be much smaller.

You must know that this is the production of cloisonne. In the splendid and brilliant history of culture and art of the Chinese nation, cloisonne is undoubtedly a stroke of rich and colorful.

Cloisonne is made of gold, silver, and copper. Because the technology of cloisonne began in the Ming Dynasty, it was only blue when it was first created, so it got its name - cloisonne.

Today, this craft has been sublimated into the expression form of "cloisonné enamel painting", blooming with dazzling light.

"Cloisonné enamel" is on copper, gold and other carcasses, which are fired with thin flat copper wires and pinched into various patterns.

The small compartments surrounded by the copper wire facade are filled with enamel glaze, and after repeated firing and gold plating, a gorgeous and eye-catching enamel craft product is formed.

"Cloisonné enamel painting" breaks through the limitation of traditional cloisonne, which can only be used for artistic creation on various three-dimensional objects, and extends the art of cloisonné to plane works
As Chen Wenzhe knows, there are many teams that combine this traditional craft with modern elements such as fashion and animation.

They simplified the original complex process, leaving three steps of drawing, filigree, and bluishing.

And it integrates the two major arts of cloisonné enamel and graphic painting, attracting the attention and experience of more urban young people.

Compared with traditional cloisonne, cloisonné enamel painting has stronger craftsmanship, flexibility and customization.

Landscapes, flowers and birds, thangkas, murals, cartoons and even game characters, people can choose their favorite patterns for creation.

In some recent activities, the enamel glaze that "does not fade for a thousand years" is perfectly integrated with the colorful Dunhuang murals, colliding with amazing sparks.

This is considered innovation, right?It's a pity that Chen Wenzhe has been on the road of imitation and learning, and innovation is indeed hard to come by!
A line is a touch of affection; a touch of paint is a sustenance.

Hundreds of years ago, craftsmen spread ink and brush, sketched with filigree, lit with blue and baked, and wrote a song of copper and fire;

Hundreds of years later, urbanites have come up with wonderful pens, devoted themselves to research, and created creativity, continuing the beauty and romance of traditional art.

From cloisonné heavy vessels to cloisonné enamel paintings, it is a continuation, inheritance, awe and admiration.

This kind of intangible cultural heritage "pinched out" by the fingertips, especially the cloisonné enamel painting, is amazing!
Therefore, if you want to make cloisonne, you must first learn it systematically.

A kind of art, from creation to invention, to development, to the peak, there will always be a process.

And understanding this process makes it easier to learn this craft.

As for the art of filigree enamel, it roughly originated in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties.

According to Cao Zhao, a literati at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, in "Ge Gu Yao Lun" confirmed the existence of the filigree enamel process, which was called "ghost country kiln" at that time.

The filigree enamel painting is derived and developed on the basis of cloisonne, a treasure of Chinese art.
