Your question is actually how to paint furniture. I know something about this, and I hope it will help you.
China's lacquer painting is developed on the basis of China's long-standing traditional lacquer ware. It can not only belong to the category of arts and crafts, but also be regarded as a new variety of painting. It has the dual attributes of arts and crafts and is an interdisciplinary subject combining painting and crafts. As early as his student days, Mr. Qiao Shiguang, a famous lacquer painter, went to Fuzhou several times to learn lacquer techniques from local old artists under the active advocacy of the late famous arts and crafts artists Pang Xunqin and Lei Guiyuan. He combined China's traditional lacquer techniques with his own decorative art, and was influenced by Vietnamese lacquer painting. His lacquer paintings are full of life and strong in decoration and craftsmanship. The themes of the works are mostly ethnic minority figures and the scenery of Jiangnan water town, which has a distinct personal style. Under his influence, lacquer painting in China developed rapidly and spread all over the country. In 198s, it became an independent painting, which was noticed and recognized by the society. Lacquer painting is loved by people because it uses different tools and materials and techniques, which can not be replaced by other paintings.
The main techniques of lacquer painting are as follows:
Thin material: Bo Tu is painted on the flat lacquer floor with gold glue, and gold foil or silver foil is pasted when the lacquer is about to dry, which is bright and elegant, showing the effects of sky and river water in lacquer painting.
grinding and painting: according to the needs of the picture, first paint the pattern with primer, and then sprinkle all kinds of gold and silver powder, aluminum powder (metal powder) or paint powder on it. After drying, cover the paint to fix the powder, and then polish it after drying. This technique is also called "painting" in Japan, which is a widely used expression technique in lacquer painting. Through the size of powder particles, the density of spraying, the difference of texture, the thickness of coating paint and the amount of polishing, it presents rich color levels and texture changes.
paint filling: create a low-sunken pattern on the paint surface, and then fill it with colored paint, or paste gold and silver foil, and cover it with transparent paint after drying. There is also a process called "table filling" by Fuzhou people, in which a tin sheet is attached to a paint board, and the pattern is carved by flame, and then the tin sheet other than the pattern is removed, and then the paint is completely covered, polished and polished. This technique is also widely used in lacquer painting and is suitable for decorative lacquer painting.
variable coating: also known as splash painting, thick paint is poured on the paint board, and then thinner is sprinkled or dripped, and the paint is dispersed, flowed and blended, leaving unevenness. If water is sprayed, it will leave a concave water trace. You can also use leaves, rice, beans, brushes, dips and other tools to make the paint surface uneven, obtain natural texture, and then fill the paint. It can also be used locally according to the needs of painting.
lacquer carving: generally divided into three categories.
carve the ash, with a deep feed to expose the ash floor under the polishing paint layer, or remove the paint surface in a large area in positive or negative, and then fill in the colored paint. The process is simple, and it has a sharp and straightforward aesthetic feeling like wood carving.
Shallow carving, also known as "Shen Jin" in Japan, uses knives to scratch the skin instead of deep carving, and expresses the structure of objects in the picture with various lines and points. It is characterized by nuance, strong three-dimensional sense, strong sense of integrity and strong decoration. Filling the groove with gold powder is called "scooping up gold", filling with silver powder is "scooping up silver" and filling with colored paint is "scooping up color".
needle engraving: on the polished paint surface, the pattern is engraved with a steel needle, which is light and light, suitable for fine line patterns, but not suitable for viewing from a distance.
inlay, in modern lacquer painting in China, the process of inlaying eggshells is often used. First, the film in eggshells is removed, the paint is used as an adhesive, and the eggshells are pasted on the picture and crushed, which will lead to natural cracks, which are like porcelain kilns. Because of the different colors of eggshells, the density of pasting is different, and the degree of polishing is different, which shows a rich texture and sketch relationship from deep to shallow. There is also inlaid mother-of-pearl. The colorful mother-of-pearl (thin slice) is cut into the shape required by the picture, then pasted on the paint board, and then painted and polished. The mother-of-pearl itself is colorful, and it is even more radiant against the background of black lacquer, which fully embodies the beauty of materials.
Three-dimensional lacquerware modeling, which is gradually developed in recent years on the basis of traditional lacquerware in China and influenced by Japanese and Korean lacquerware, is also called "Qi Diao". Besides its performance, it emphasizes its decorative role in environmental art and beautifies people's living space with the language of lacquer. Its molding methods mainly include wooden tires, bodiless tires, stupid board tires, rope tires, paper tires, soft metal tires, leather tires, glass and so on. Use different materials and paint as adhesive and curing agent to shape it, and then decorate it with paint, or paint it, or paint it, or paint it, or paint it. At present, it has formed a new artistic trend in the world. Relatively speaking, it pays more attention to the use of lacquer technology and materials than lacquer painting. The decorative vase "Flowing Line" is 4 cm high and 45 cm wide. It is a three-dimensional lacquer modeling work completed in China in 1995. It pursues simplicity and massiness in modeling, but it is wide but not thick in shape. There are protruding flowing lines on the vase to adapt and match the shape, and the vertical lines on both sides are different in form, forming a jumping music. The decorative technique adopts the method of gold foil painting, from top to bottom, from more to less, and then covered with transparent paint, with soft and harmonious colors and resplendence, which highlights the characteristics of paint.
