Tranh đá quý Lục Yên

Luc Yen, Yen Bai province, is also known as the land of jade. This place has many kinds of precious stones, which are considered to be of high quality and rich in variety. Nature has given us a lot of different kinds of stones, such as ruby, sapphire, citiline and tourmaline. It is highly appreciated by foreign tourists because of its hardness and value. The precious stones are used to make ornaments. And the stones that cannot be crafted anymore are studied and made into paintings. From those experiments, the Luc Yen gemstone painting profession was born. Thanks to the skillful hands and the talent of the artisans, precious stone paintings have become lively, high-value, and are welcomed by foreign tourists. To make a painting, the first step is to choose the stones. From the original stones, we have to buy them and cut them into pieces. That is, we have to break the pieces of stones. When we break the stones, we ask the artisans for a long-standing experience. We break the stones into very thin pieces. It creates very lively flowers. After being washed and dried, the stones continue to be classified according to size, thickness, color tone. The classification of the stones will help the artist to be more convenient in the process of stacking the stones into the painting. Next is the process of making. This is a process that requires a lot of technique and skill. The artist spreads a layer of stone all over the painting to make it look beautiful. Then stack the stones with different color tones to create the shape. Then small glue in each area to fix the painting. The success of this step depends on the color combination. Based on the natural color of each type of stone, the artist will mix different types of stones according to a suitable ratio to create the desired color tones. What you need to pay attention to when making a painting is mainly the color. The color combination. Based on my experience, I have to be very careful and meticulous in mixing the colors. I choose the colors according to the painting. For example, I have to see the details of the painting. Then I start to classify the stones according to the painting. If there are colors that are not suitable for the painting, I have to mix them myself to make sure they look the same. From large, small stones with natural colors, the artist can mix nearly 300 different color tones. The main ingredient must be natural stone. Because using artificial stone, the softness of the painting will not be guaranteed. The single-color stones, such as green and red, if we mix them together, it will have a neutral color. These are all natural stones from the local area. There is no artificial stone. These are ruby, sapphire, citiline, turquoise, bronze, and opal stones. I mix red and white to make pink. I mix blue and red to make purple. I mix the two colors together. The colors are very diverse. The most difficult thing when making a precious stone painting is how to make the small stones, the small stones, show the contrasting lines. With the transition of colors, it becomes a real artwork, not just a single-color painting. That's why only those who have a long experience can combine the stones into soulful paintings with their own stories. I started to work here more than 10 years ago. In order to make a painting, I had to learn how to work. It took me 2-3 months to learn the basic steps. After a few years of experience, I was able to complete a painting. I was asked to work for a long time. It took me 5-7 years to make a beautiful painting. The more delicate and careful the painting is, the more beautiful and soulful it is. Another note when making a stone painting is that the work area should not be windy because small stones can be blown away. Not only that, the surrounding environment must be very quiet so that the artist can keep the absolute concentration. Because if you use a very small detail, that part of the painting will have to be removed, not re-created. Cutting each piece of stone, folding each piece of stone. In this way, the lines of the painting are gradually revealed. With small stone paintings, it takes 2-3 days to complete. With large paintings, with many complex details, it may take a few weeks.
