What pigment is used for thumb painting?

Draw your thumb with gouache paint and stick it on your hand.

Finger painting has special finger painting pigments. Generally, gouache pigment, traditional Chinese painting pigment, non-toxic body painting pigment, acrylic pigment, textile pigment and painting pigment can also be used instead.

Self-made finger painting pigment formula:

1.3 tbsp sugar (spoon)

2. Half a spoonful of salt and half a spoonful of starch

3. A cup of flour (the cup is measured in a rice cooker)

4. a glass of water

5. Edible pigments

Production method:

1. Stir all the raw materials (except pigments) evenly, add water, and stir thoroughly to form a batter without leaving bumps.

2, pour into the pot, simmer 15 seconds, stir while cooking, let the starch and sugar play a role.

3. Put the batter into the bottle, drop the food pigment, and then start mixing the required colors.

The shelf life of self-made pigments is 1 month. If you want to keep it longer, add more salt. Because the shelf life is short, it should be used as soon as possible. The function of sugar is to increase viscosity, starch is to maintain molecular stability, and salt is to maintain color fastness and longer shelf life.

A new theory on the origin of finger painting

-Evidence of rock paintings.

Finger painting originated from the cloud's theory of "touching the silk with the hand", which has been followed by people for a long time and quoted by various books on finger painting. Why did Zhang Xinyang have a whim to "touch the silk with his hand" at this time? What is the secret of his finger painting? Has anyone painted it before him?

Handprints and footprints of real people were found on the bricks of Qin bricks and Han tiles. Handprints and footprints are actually works of art directly "created" by hands and feet-finger paintings and foot paintings, which should have existed before the Tang Dynasty.

There were no "pens" at that time, except for carving with sharp tools (such as sharp stones, wood and bamboo chips, bones, etc.). ), that is, directly use your fingers to "paint" on pottery.

The painting on this slate is a prehistoric rock painting discovered later.

During the period of 1998, I once closely observed the rock paintings of the ancestors in Persimmon Beach, Jixian County, Shanxi Province, and I was very surprised by the production methods of those ancestors' artworks. Soon, I came across a hardcover color-printed Rock Painting in a bookstore, which is mainly illustrated.

In Tangbaletas Village, Ka Lable Gen Township, Fuyun County, Xinjiang, which is about 60 kilometers away from the urban area, there is a cave on the hillside cliff at an altitude of 1020 meters, which is 25 meters above the ground, with a height of 1 1.5 meters, a depth of1.8 meters and a width of 20 meters. In this cave, a prominent phenomenon is two handprints.

This is because the productivity in ancient times was very low, and every step forward required huge labor. Our forefathers struggled hard with hard-working hands and made new achievements. They must admire their opponents' magical functions very much and think that their hands are the symbol of all victory. Therefore, they not only drew huge and powerful palm shapes in caves in Fuyun county, but also found palm shapes in caves and other rock carvings in Habahe county (Xinjiang rock paintings)

Handprint rock paintings are all over the world, and palm shapes can be found in the rock paintings of the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang. According to Professor Chen Zhaofu, there are palm-shaped paintings all over the world.

"For example, in the cave of Casta, around the paintings of animals such as elephants, bison and stags, there are groups of handprints, some of which are directly printed on the animals' bodies.

There are many caves in southwest France, for example, the caves in Cagas can reach more than 100, and they are also found from time to time in cave murals of Australian aborigines and rock paintings of American Indians. "

There are many handprints all over the world. Nearly 200 adult and children's palms were found in red, dark brown or black on the rock paintings in Paidian, Kongjian County, torii, Thailand, Asia.

In Paimeng area not far from Paidian, there are also people's palms on rock paintings. Palmprint was found in the Neolithic site in Shaanxi, China. Mr. Zhao Guohua thinks that "sticking out five fingers and palm prints not only means" five ",but also means" many ".

Combining the connotation of rock painting with five kinds of comprehensive decorative patterns, we can judge that it was originally a prayer for reproductive prosperity and population growth "(all of the above are quoted from the book Rock Painting in Xinjiang on page 555).

Rock painting is the earliest artistic embodiment that systematically records human survival activities, human economic form, ideology and the natural environment on which ancestors lived before the appearance of words. It reflects the complex process of our ancestors from barbarism to civilization. Those works are simple, highly abstract, extremely concise and vivid.

It is a record of the original ecology of life and an original artistic treasure higher than life, which provides a reference for studying the development of finger painting in later generations.

In Neolithic painted pottery, ancestors used grindstones to grind ochre, brown and black minerals, then dissolved them in water, and then directly used their fingers as tools to draw decorative patterns on the outer wall of pottery to show their consciousness.

And those "hunting pictures" left on the rocks, which are the "artistic interest" drawn on the rock wall by hand during the period of human ignorance, are the most primitive "finger paintings" (China Finger Painting, page 09, 2007, Wu Runling: Original Ecology and Finger Painting).

To sum up, it is not my own opinion to trace the origin of finger painting and catch up with the era of rock painting. With regard to the development of finger painting in Qing Dynasty, finger painting reached its peak. Yu Xiaofeng, a master of finger painting, has made a detailed exposition, so I won't go into details here.
