How to deal with the blackening of the root carving? What is the treatment before root carving?

The blackening of the root carving is caused by the mold of the root carving, so it should be put in a dry place, and even some oil should be painted on the root carving, so that the root carving is more protective of the original color.

The art of root carving is to find natural beauty and show creative processing of plastic arts, the root carving process pays attention to "three points of artificial, seven points of nature", which means that in the creation of root carving, the natural form of the root material should be mainly used to express the artistic image, auxiliary artificial processing and modification, therefore, the root carving is also known as "the art of the root" or "the art of the root".

Life is like a cup of tea, with a bitter and bitter aroma and a mellow and sweet taste. On the long road of life, we will always face all kinds of difficulties, and sometimes we grit our teeth and look around.

The treatment method before the root carving work can be divided into two types.

One maintains the true color, that is, after polishing, it is no longer colored, painted, and directly waxed and polished in order to maintain the true color. This treatment method is loved by many people, but the preservation time of the works in this way is short, and the wax layer on the surface of the root will dry and volatilize within a few months, lose its soft luster, become jerky, and at the same time, it is easy to incur insects and moisture absorption.

The second method is to color and paint the work according to the work. Coloring is a method, a means to bring out the theme of the work. Lacquering can form a smooth paint film on the surface of the root, which makes people feel comfortable, and is also conducive to preventing insects and moisture, and prolonging the preservation time of root carving works.

There are many pigments and methods of coloring. After coloring, the surface is mostly bronze, maroon or other colors, but there are no bright colors such as red, green, and rhubarb. If the coloring is not good, it is better not to color, and it is better to maintain the original natural color. Root.
