Mineral-pigment was commonly used in Buddhist paintings like the murals inside the Dunhuang Cave, as well as in the decorations of Chinese architecture. Prior to the popularity of the ink and wash painting, mineral-pigment painting played the dominating role in Chinese painting and had direct influence on today’s Japanese painting.
As the ingredients of mineral-pigment are insoluble in water, mineral-pigment painting has multiple, explicit color layers when comparing to other kinds of paint and it usually comes with a shiny effect under the refraction of light.
Based on the skills and techniques of Japanese painting, this course provides the participants with a comprehensive introduction of mineral-pigment painting. The knowledge, skill and technique of mineral-pigment painting will be covered in the course, which is suitable for participants with basic knowledge of painting. Participants will have the chance to complete a piece of work in mineral-pigment painting by the end of the course.
