"Ebru" is an old technique of painting on water. She appeared in Turkey 14 centuries ago. The technique allows you to create extraordinary, abstract drawings. Drawing on the water is a fun process that allows you to relax and show your imagination. With the help of "ebru" you can fight stress.
It is necessary
- - paint for "ebru";
- - special thickener;
- - a container with water;
- - brushes;
- - special awl;
- - plastic palette or small containers for paint.
Instructions
Step 1
Pour water into a container, add a thickener to it. You can buy it at your hobbyist or art supply store. The density of ordinary water does not allow you to create a pattern on it, the paint simply spreads out on the surface. Prepare tools.
Step 2
Drawing on water like on paper or canvas will not work. The basis of the ebru pattern is bright spots of paint. It does not need to be applied to the surface of the water with a brush, it needs to be sprayed. In order for colorful spots to appear on the surface of the water, you need to knock over it with a brush with paint on your finger or any object. Splashes of paint from the brush will fall into the water.
Step 3
Use an awl or knitting needle to connect the spots to each other. The shape of the ink spot can be changed. With an awl and knitting needle, you can add dots of paint, or make spots on the surface of the water. For example, make a spot on the surface of the water with an awl. The stain will blur, add another stain in the middle.
Step 4
It is much more convenient to draw with an awl than to create a drawing from colorful spots.
Step 5
Transfer the drawing to paper. Put a sheet of paper on the surface of the water, wait a few seconds. Then take a sheet of paper by the edge with your right hand, with your left hand you need to press it a little against the side of the container. Pull the sheet over the edge. The sheet of paper should "pass" between the side of the container and the palm (the paint will be absorbed better into the paper and excess liquid will drain). The drawing can be transferred to fabric, leather, glass, etc. (This requires experience).
