Olga Pankrushina master class:
"A long time ago in some foreign journal saw a casket decorated with egg chipped. Well, and as usual, the fantasy was flooded through the edge. At first, I first developed a school lesson on the topic" Mosaic ". And the children learned to lay pieces of shells on plates. Then I decided to do in this technique. Panno. Trained on plates, then moved to the cardboard and Phaner. Now I see a lot of work with a shell and not all of them like me, since many shell paint ... And this is a proto lots of consumer goods. Nature and so painted eggs in different colors , warm and pleasant eye. It is necessary only to look around. Eggs are from white, to a dark-root, with the shades are always different, pink, yellowish, grayish. In one job I used 12 shades. Rice drawing is usually a pencil, only contours and something about split color if it is clear. All other changes in color in the course of work. What I like in such a job, then it is not necessary to be able to draw (this is very convenient for students, and for beginners) . Any favorite drawing can be transferred by cells, reduce it or increase and work. If the drawing is colored, and it is difficult to figure out, where darker or lighter, then the most convenient to copy it in a b / w option and everything will immediately become clear. But regret I have no captured MK, it can take off somehow. But the principle of work will try to explain in words. The egg shell is desirable to harvest two halves (do not break, otherwise the colors are confused). It must be washed and removed from the inside the film. Then put to dry. The disadvantage in the material does not happen, eat it all. Another question in color. When I started, there were no white eggs on sale. The problem was. The neighbors asked, changed. And on the market of granny bubble bought eggs. Spets looked, what color I need, I chose. Imagine how I looked at me? When the shell is ready, you can start work. I usually start working with white. I take the shell, bowing a small piece from her, laying it out with the outside of her upside down and crushed it with my finger. Not a pencil or wand, they will scatter. PVA Maja glue is a small portion of drawing (1cm.x1cm.), Dries quickly, and lay on it pieces of shell. Stay in this way. A match (end without sulfur) Pack into the smeared plot, the tip of the match is dumping with glue, then they poke into the right piece of the shell, the shell flies to the match and I carry it, where I need. I lay it on the lubricant glue area and it is glued well there. Next laying nearby, leaving the Maaaalen distance between them (otherwise there will be no mosaic effect). If you cannot pick up a suitable piece, I break the pieces on the smallest and fill empty placesIt is impossible to assume the shell lay down the inner side. The surface of her is different, and the edges later the touch are felt. First, lay the shell along the contour, then I start filling inside the contour. If you need a smooth transition of color, then I don't enter the shell of another color. Ready work covering colorless varnish. Well, what happened, judge for yourself.
This is the very first job. Cooked.
This is the second. Iran's architecture.
Snegiri.
Calla.
Lilies.
There was another plate with an oak branch with acorns, but she crashed.
Note:
Elena Yashin: It is more likely to glue the toned cardboard on the tone a bit darker (for the painted shell take the black cardboard) in this case, the gaps between the shells will be clearer. Further, as the author described, the drawing is applied with a pencil and work begins with edges contours. In such complex compositions, as the "Architecture of Iran", the twigs of the tree are first laid out, and then the sky background.
Indeed, the natural color looks noble.
