What I created in an hour can now be stored for centuries.
Serious.
This, of course, is not a monument to the miraculous. To tell the truth, I'm generally far from positive assessments of their visual work – since childhood I do not know how to draw. I was not going to do this in the present, but in the end I am very happy with my personal touch to the fiery painting.
So often called to work in the technique of hot enamel. The ancient, almost lost, but is resurgent today. Enamels are glass-based, so over time the paint does not fade. And the pictures are not afraid of high humidity and temperature changes.
This and many other things I learned in Yaroslavl, where we arrived thanks to the joint project of the company "Mosturflot" and the community travel_russia[Unknown LJ tag]. For 25 years in the pearl of the Golden ring works international creative center "Enamel" - Russia's only Museum of enamel art.
The center regularly hosts international symposia, festivals and creative competitions of masters artists. The rich creative space is filled with works of authors from Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Belarus and other countries.
Roam around the room to absorb the beauty…
Not the contemplation of the one. "Enamel" offers adults and children a master class on hot enamel. Everyone can create their own little masterpiece. At the same time, the finished works remain with the participants of the master class.
Dana: paints-enamels diluted with water; brush; rectangular copper plate.
First, the honeybee needs to be cleaned out properly.
Further – only a flight of fancy. Blend the paint. I was drawn to yellow. Heeding the advice, enamel paint thicker. Not smearing, but as if applying a more or less uniform layer.
Colleagues are absorbed in creating their own images.
Here you can get a consultation of honored art historians and critics.
Readily! Painted me record the artistic Council took the second time. Had to put some more paint on the edges, and that the work would be burnt. Now she lies among others in a muffle furnace…
And – goes the heart of the passionate flames.
Works from the hot enamel is fired at a temperature of about 700-800 degrees Celsius.
Fire as it is!
After a few minutes, remove the plate. Right to take up not – hot. It takes a few more minutes for the work to "recover". The plates cool down on the table. Paints "reach", finding shades…
Still have time to admire the paintings of the exhibition and to think about the soul. Lyrical digression. We are often faced with technical enamel – ware, or perhaps plumbing. In difficult times, and artists had to use more of the available technical enamel. It is good that these times are over.
What about my plate? Here we go. Tried to portray the word " ku "from" kin-DZA-DZA!". Yes, on the left the letter "K" - I'm telling you. Do not judge strictly – the first experience. Hung the pendant on the wall at home, next to the thermometer.
By the way, if your work is not looked at, you can buy miniatures, pendants, brooches and other jewelers created by professionals.
Cool center, which can recommend to all guests of Yaroslavl.
Cool master class, which will especially please creative nature.
Marvelous hot enamel.
And again, once again the flaring sensation that real art and creativity were valued at all times.
It's great that today we are in the best of my modest ability can touch the beautiful.
Life gets brighter.
