Chapter 6
Now that he had chosen a good subject, he went to the market to buy materials for this work.

After buying the material, he looked at the tire material in front of him again.

The process of producing a high-grade lacquerware is far from what outsiders imagined, as simple as applying a layer of lacquer on the lacquer body or painting a picture with lacquer.

First of all, paint tires, each paint tire has its own advantages and disadvantages.For example, metal paint tires are strong, and silver is the most noble, but the characteristics of each metal are different.Another example is the wooden lacquer body which is soft and easy to shape, but the characteristics of each wood are different.Another example is rattan and bamboo lacquer tires, because the unit area is small, it must be woven, but the shape is easy to lose after weaving.In addition, the porcelain body must be fired for the second time when the porcelain body is not formed, and then painted.

Therefore, when creating a work, the texture of the paint base must be considered.

But that's not even top lacquer.Top lacquerware masters are considering a piece of work, even the texture of the lacquer body must be taken into consideration.No matter what kind of lacquer tires have certain textures, especially wooden lacquer tires, the textures are more meticulous. If these textures are not considered when making patterns, it will inevitably affect the effect of the entire lacquerware in the end.

Then paint the object with lacquer, which is called "painting".Drawing patterns with lacquer is called decoration.Or it can be divided into flat lacquer and carved lacquer.Flat paint is to paint the tire directly without using other complicated processes.If it is beautifully made, it will also have a sense of cuteness because of its simplicity.Another kind is carved lacquer, which is repeatedly painted with red lacquer on the lacquer tire, overlapping layers, and some are mixed with other colors.Then carve various patterns on it.The last is the color of the lacquer. Most of the lacquer used for lacquerware does not use raw lacquer, and most of them use processed lacquer.However, due to technical problems in the Tang Dynasty, many pigments have not been discovered now, so there are not many types of colored paints.Of course, red lacquer is still the main color, which is also the favorite color of Chinese people.

However, for Wang Hua's debut work, because he didn't have much money left in his hands, he had to choose two techniques: red picking and gold cutting, so he didn't have high requirements for color paint.Picking red is a kind of picking paint, and there are also picking yellow, picking green, picking black, etc. This technique was brought to its peak in the hands of Zhang Cheng and Yang Mao in the Ming Dynasty, and the two masters are famous for it forever.The so-called Tihong lacquer is carved red lacquer. This kind of craft and material has already taken shape in the Tang Dynasty, so there is no need for Wang Hua to innovate the material. Just turn around in the market to buy the materials that he has.

There is another one, Jin Jin.It is to draw thin lines with a knife or needle on the lacquer floor, apply gold glue on the lines, or fill the gold powder to make golden patterns.If silver powder or silver foil is used, it is called silver.This kind of craft has a longer history and appeared in the Warring States Period.

Of course, for the first work, Wang Hua did not simply choose these two lacquer methods. In addition to intending to use the exquisite patterns, he also planned to add another method-carving and filling on the basis of picking red.

This is a new technique combining lacquer filling and gold-finishing, which did not appear until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and soon became popular and became a major category of lacquerware.This process is first filled with paint.Filling paint is divided into two types: grinding and embossing.Grinding, after finishing the rough paint, use the method of heaping paint to make patterns, fill in the outline of the pattern with color paint, and then polish.Embossing is to engrave first and then fill, and directly carve out low-level patterns on the finished paint (that is, (桼+包) paint, this word cannot be typed), fill in and polish the color paint.

Carving lacquer is to use the method of filling paint to make patterns, draw inscribed lines along the outline of the patterns, and fill gold in the inscribed lines.Some are directly painted with colored paint, and some are filled and traced.Wang Hua used exactly the last method.

The lacquer ware produced by this lacquer method is gorgeous and colorful.This style is more popular among people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.After all, Wang Hua had the last bit of capital in his hands, and he was only allowed to succeed, not to fail. If he didn't succeed, he would be in big trouble.

In addition to these, Wang Hua also prepared some three-dimensional relief methods to highlight the vividness of the scenery and characters.But he didn't dare to use it too much, for fear that people's thinking and concepts would not be able to accept this kind of art.

The so-called dome refers to the mirror box used by women to dress up, and generally refers to a small and exquisite box.After all, Wang Hua needs a lot of expensive gold powder to use this kind of lacquer method. If the utensils are too big, the money in his hand is also not enough for the production cost.There is another reason that dowry is an important women's tool in modern times.Even sending the woman out of the court is called dowry.One day before the wedding, the man sends someone to the woman's house to "urge the makeup", and the woman's family sends the dowry to the man's house to "shop".Reminding makeup is a signal of welcome.In some places, the shop is called "sending dowry", which is the general term for the dowry dowry given by the woman.But this does not only refer to dowry, including furniture, chests, clothes, bedding, jewelry, gold, silver, copper and tin utensils, etc.Prepare the "Dowry Records" one by one, in a hardcover volume, placed on the colorful pavilion, and carried by people, before the dowry sending procession.Therefore, it is called dowry instrument.

So as long as an exquisite dowry is made, it can be sold at a good price.

Finally he started to pick up the knife, ready to do it, but before he did it, he smiled wryly, and said to himself: "I never thought that before I become an artist, I must first learn to be a businessman."

This is because before making lacquerware, he was afraid of failure, so he specially went to the market to investigate once, and finally decided to make a lacquer dowry.

Following him down for the first knife, he said again: "It's still not good, I haven't used a knife for so many years, and my technique is rusty."

This is natural. After coming to this world these years, what he touches the most is paper and pen. Although in his previous life, he was able to carve with a soft knife, which is almost unmatched by anyone in the country. Over the years, perhaps his artistic perception has become more profound.But I have never touched a small knife, and my technique is indeed unfamiliar.

After thinking about it, Wang Hua didn't engrave patterns immediately.Instead, find a few firewood and make embossed carvings on it, so as to restore the knife skills.

His behavior made his landlord very curious.Now that Wang Hua came out to travel at the age of 12, the landlord is not surprised.People at this time are much more mature than those in Wang Hua's previous life.Luoyang, the current capital city, has many students at Wang Hua's age who come to study abroad.

The landlord also regarded him as a student studying abroad.

But landlords aren't worried.Now I still report to Cheng Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the characters are broad-minded.Not to mention Chen Ziang's million dollars to buy pianos, Wang Han, for example, started drinking, dating prostitutes and hunting when he was young.Hunting is hunting, but he got a war drum and beat it "dong dong".When the boys from Sifang heard the sound of the drum, oh, I got it, the boss is hunting, and they ran over together.Wang Han was riding on the horse, followed by countless teenagers. Wang Han was in high spirits, pointing the country like a general.

The landlord just thought that his tenant was also this type of wit who behaved strangely, and didn't ask any questions.

On the fourth day, Wang Hua felt familiar, so he made this debut work again.

For this work, he refers to an excellent cultural relic unearthed in the Southern Song Dynasty-the picture of a lady in Jinjin, Zhu Qilian.But the pattern is more cumbersome than the pattern on that one piece.The [-]-ellipse lacquer dowry wall picture is not a separate pattern, but a joint picture.Also because of the current love of the Tang Dynasty, the paintings of benevolent women are more plump.Not to mention the extremely complicated painting techniques.If the value of cultural relics is thrown away, this work has undoubtedly stood at a higher height from the perspective of artwork alone.

In particular, Wang Hua can make the whole pattern patchwork through the depth of the lacquer, although it is just a simple red pick.In the pattern, there are many flowers and lush trees blooming in the garden, the ladies' clothes are luxurious, and there are two maids serving behind them, which can show the coldness of the bright moon through the deep red.In addition, the lady is sitting lazily on the cool chair, looking at the cold moon in the sky, her eyes are empty and blank, which makes people think, what unhappy things happened to this lady?

It immediately captured the hearts of the viewers.

Wang Hua thought about it again, and carved a line of poem: Silver Candle Autumn Light Cold Painting Screen,

Qing Luo's small fan flutters with fireflies.

The sky at night is as cool as water,
Sit and watch Altair Vega.

Then I signed it, but instead of writing my name, I engraved a small flower.Flowers, through pictograph.Moreover, what Wang Hua thinks now is that he is like a small flower in the mountains. He was born in a poor family, but he still wants to bloom beautifully.

After finishing the work, Wang Hua looked at the work again and felt very satisfied, so he began to polish it.

In fact, when he got here, he had been working for three days and two nights without sleeping or sleeping.

It wasn't until the polishing was finished that he carefully put the lacquerware away, and then fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

The next day, the sun rose high, and he took the dowry to the market.

This will be his first pot of gold in this world.
