Use a copper spoon as a pen and sugar liquid as ink
It didn't take long
A beautiful painting of sugar is unfolding before your eyes
Candied saccharification on the tip of the tongue
Delicious lingers on the taste buds
It's a human delicacy
For children
It was wonderful and delicious candy
For adults
Beyond a sweet memory
It is also full of thousands of feelings about non-genetic inheritance
This evening my sister took everyone to find out
That sweet memory of childhood
Sugar painting
Sugar painting is a traditional folk handicraft that uses sugar as a material to shape it. The tools used are only a spoon and a shovel, and the sugar is generally red and white sugar plus a little caramel on the stove and boiled over a warm fire, which can be used to pour the casting type when it can be held. When drawing the shape, the artist scoops up the dissolved sugar juice with a small spoon, casts it back and forth on the stone slab quickly, and draws the shape, and the folk artist's hand kung fu is the key to the shape. When the shape is complete, the sugar painting is scooped up with a small spatula and glued to a bamboo stick.
Sucrose painting
Painting sugar is not the same as painting. Painting sugar painting is made with sugar, and it is very easy to solidify after it is cold. Therefore, the action of drawing sugar painting should be fast. In addition, painting sugar people is equivalent to a continuous stroke, so there can be no interruption between each stroke. In this way, there is a problem with the stroke order of the painting. After the stroke order of the sugar painting is designed, the sugar painting can be drawn very quickly, and the sugar is not easy to cool. In order to familiarize yourself with the steps of painting sugar painting, you generally need to do some painting exercises before painting sugar painting. This painting practice is the same as usual painting, but to draw a continuous brush, you have to draw all the strokes of the sugar painting. Therefore, the purpose of painting practice is mainly to practice stroke order and composition.
Draw a sugar painting
Before drawing a sugar painting, the sugar is first dissolved. Melting sugar is the melting of pre-prepared sugar cubes in a sugar pot. Melt the sugar tablets with a low heat, and the sugar will burn when the fire is large. The caramelized sugar will be bitter, and the color is not good, the color is not golden yellow, but black, use a warm fire to slowly dissolve the sugar, when the sugar is completely dissolved, you can paint the sugar painting.
