What Is The Meaning Of Hand Painting Done In China |
Recently I had an exciting internet article had read. This is done by reverse hand painting or hand painting in China. In Chinese, the word nekuwa means interior painting on glass. This particular form of art began in China centuries ago. Originally the delicate painting was done on the inside of "snuff" bottles or other small glass containers. These items were commissioned by the emperor and high station persons and became quite valuable treasures.
This rare art form is still gifted to a studio in China today and paints were designed by patient artists created by North American and English artists in glass jewellery of various shapes and sizes. Stewart Sherwood, Jim Shore, Susan Winget, g. Famous artists such as Debrecht and Peggy Abrams create original designs for paintings, many designs being limited editions for distribution to collectors and others who no doubt found jewellery for gifts and appreciated their untouched beauty.
The most interesting is the art form itself. The glass is blown through the mouth using a special high grade of glass tubing. These pieces are engraved inward to ensure that when the paint is painted it will adhere to the glass. However, etching makes it extremely difficult for the artist to look inside the brush and determine where the paint stokes will be placed. Therefore both talent and patience are required!
The artist uses a combination of ink and paint, including acrylic, watercolour, and oil, to create these delicate works of art. The first step is to develop the set of brushes required to illustrate a particular design. These brushes are essentially handmade by the artist in the right shape, no larger than a single hair on your head. Unlike traditional painting, the artist begins with the foreground and then the background at the end. The design is first and painstakingly done with chine ink and mixed to create the dimensional effect of the finished product. Then the artist starts the first colour. Each colour is allowed to dry before continuing to the next colour, and finally, the colours are mixed. Sometimes an ornament can be completed in hours and sometimes it takes several days.
The finished product is signed by the artist and certified by the company who assured that it was the real thing. It is then packaged in a beautiful velour box, which is satin lined and a certificate of authentication is placed inside. Some of the limited editions are packaged in leather boxes. The sets, consisting of jewellery sold separately, are usually presented in wooden boxes with a satin lining
