我學瓷畫已一年了。當初是因為好奇心及不滿足繪畫只限於畫紙上,所以跑去學。現在我多了一份享受。
在純白的瓷器上,用各種不同的顏料,繪上一幅幅的圖畫,及至完成,要等上數星期。因為要釉彩深深的刻在瓷面上,有時要重複多次上色,才達到完美。每一件作品是心血結晶,當中經過無數的期望與等待,不安與欣喜,我就像跟白瓷在談戀愛。
在繪畫的過程中,我學會了接受及寄望。因為每一次的上色及所用的不同顏料,經過高溫燒過之後,有時未必如自已所期等的一樣,所以一件作品可能是經過多次失敗或改進而成。我們需要接受好與壞及心存寄望,希望改進之後有奇蹟。正如我們在生活中亦要抱存接受如意及不如意的事,更要寄望明天,奇蹟總會出現。
I got the chance to know porcelain painting by occasion from magazines which introduce elegant porcelain painted items and also their use as decorative items at home. While learning porcelain painting, I find each item new to me and each item can have different changes. I especially feel the beauty when painting flower items. Beautiful finished items bring joy of success to me and great satisfaction can be achieved when I see my own finished items displaying as decoration at home.
Porcelain painting as an art form allows immense creativity and possibilities. With the wide variety of porcelain, tools, paints and mediums, it is amazing how much one can do to a piece of white baked clay! The creation of an artwork could sometimes be gruelling, but the result is paint well worth.
I feel porcelain painting is interesting. I choose the word interesting because I couldn’t believe that I could draw things onto a plate, tiles and all shapes of porcelain figure and make it colourful and use it afterwards. It is really very interesting ……………and fun.
