Lacquer Painting: A Painting Ground Layer by Layer

A close-up of a Vietnamese lacquer painting hanging on the main wall. Black lacquer background with outlines drawn in gold and silver leaf, some areas inlaid with crushed eggshells forming a creamy white texture, with vermilion color blocks dotted within. The surface has been repeatedly lacquered and polished, giving it a deep luster, and the colors appear to emerge from the underlying layers. The subject is a bamboo forest and cranes by the water. Avoid: using flat print or oil painting to imitate lacquer painting, a plastic-like high-gloss surface, making the painting into a brightly colored tourist souvenir style, ignoring the texture of eggshell inlay.

一幅掛在主牆上的越南漆畫近景。黑色的漆底上有金箔與銀箔勾出的輪廓,部分區塊鑲著碎蛋殼形成米白的肌理,朱紅的色塊點在其中;表面經過反覆塗漆與研磨,光澤深沉,顏色像是從底層透上來。題材是水邊的竹林與鶴。避免:使用平面印刷或油畫模仿漆畫、表面是塑膠般的高光澤、把畫做成鮮豔的觀光紀念品風格、忽略蛋殼鑲嵌的肌理。
