I draw an iron.
This is not a typo and with my head everything is in order. Well, if seriously, I want to present to your attention a similar technique -Enakavoky technique in our time.
This is what you can find about this technique on the Internet. »Enkauska - the ancient art of painting with hot wax. Encausky is much older than oil painting, and so far we admire the paints of Fayum portraits. Nowadays, alkustic painting requires expensive equipment and materials, skill and complex skills.
One of the modern options, the most accessible, which does not require large material costs is the use of iron and wax chalk. The mattiness of the wax, the tangible texture of the finished picture - it must be seen and feel under the fingers. Unusual. But interesting. What happens as a result of movements - it is clear not always ... A certain state of the soul, spirit and body affects the end result. "
And all over a few months ago began. "Walking" by the spaces of the Internet, I accidentally got to the site: "Encausky. I ride the iron join". Looking at the video tutorials, I just "got sick" by Encoustik. On the next day I bought an iron and wax chalks in stationery and started ... I want to immediately warn that I don't know how to draw.
Encoustics technique can be described by the following manual: I nanish wax shallow smelters on a hot iron, and then I transfer to the cardboard. Cardboard is desirable to take a glossy. Iron should be without holes on the sole. The cardboard must lie on the fitline, which should be soft and necessarily larger than cardboard. In the quality of the substrate I use a stack of newspapers.
Included for minimal power and applied wax chalk soles. You can immediately have several colors, they are not mixed. It is necessary to work very quickly, because the shallow melts quickly. Then what happened on the iron is transferred to the cartoons with applying or smooth movements.
As in every technique, there are basic techniques in Ekaustik. I suggest familiarizing yourself with their features before starting work. As mentioned above, modern Enkauska is an art type available to each wishes.
So, the reception is the first - smoothing. It is an elementary ironing movement of the iron. It's breathing cardboard from one edge to another without stopping.
The second reception - prints - accommodations are created. I put the iron to the cardboard, and then we raise the iron sharply.
The third reception is the work of the side of the iron. Thus, the necessary white lines are obtained. Iron put the edge on the background already applied by the main welcome. So the vertical and horizontal lines are obtained. For example, grass of different lengths, bushes, thin trees.
Fourth reception - drawing an iron tip. Iron's spout with a little wax and draw them. This technique you can get small details (flowers, birds and small animals).
Finished work I decorated into the frame under the glass.
Your attention I present a few of my work, on the example of which I will tell you about the main techniques of Enkautics.
The first three photos are my first work, where I just tried to work out elements and techniques.
I nano on the sole of the iron of the shallow of blue and pale pink color. In the parallel, the upper edge and spend the cardboard on the right left, not to be left, until the whole sole of the iron is not solely. I wip out the sole of the iron with paper towels and nano on the iron chalk iron and re-ironing cardboard from one edge to another. The wax is applied on top of the previous wax layer. Introduce green shades of colored wax and glutton putting the sole of the iron and raise sharply, it turns out small streams. Well, what's not the herbs stencils? Third reception-drawing of the sole approve you see in the drawing of the bushes in the foreground.
On this photo is a fantasy pattern. On the sole of the iron wept parallel chalk of different colors. We put the iron to the cardboard and intermittent movements in a circle nano on the cardboard. In the foreground, I drag the land at the reception.
In the next photo, I portrayed the mountains. The wax on the tip of the iron and zigzag movements depict a mountain range. The next step-smoothed iron bottom of the drawing. I'm a while I am ironing cardboard to the right left and back until the entire background is painted.
The following work already has a title: "Spring steppe" This work is similar to the first, but performed in another color scheme, and more accurately.
"Seascape". Equally painted by smoothing, but the drawing is different from the first. But in this and all ENKAUTIC. Details if you apply a completely identical pattern on the sole, on the cardboard, each time different and unpredictable. After the sky is drawn the skyline and the sea. And only then with brown shallow shades of various shades, the tip of the iron rises cliffs and white "lamb" around the rocks.
