The matching and maintenance methods of Hunan embroidery
The matching of Hunan embroidery
1. Hunan embroidery is mainly embroidered with pure silk, hard satin, soft satin, transparent yarn and various colors of silk and velvet thread. Its characteristics are: rigorous composition, bright colors, and various stitches are expressive. Through rich color lines and ever-changing stitches, the embroidered characters, animals, landscapes, flowers and birds have special artistic effects. In Hunan embroidery, whether it is flat embroidery, weaving embroidery, net embroidery, knot embroidery, beat embroidery, velvet embroidery, three-dimensional embroidery, double-sided embroidery, random needle embroidery, etc., they all focus on the appearance and inner quality of the object, and even if it is a scale, claw, petal and leaf, it is meticulous.
2. With the development of Hunan embroidery commodity production, through the hard creation of the vast number of embroidery artists and the reform and improvement of Hunan embroidery skills, many fine traditions of Chinese painting were transplanted on embroidery, and cleverly integrated the traditional Chinese painting, embroidery, poetry, calligraphy, and metal and stone arts, thus forming the Hunan embroidery based on Chinese painting, using more than 70 stitches and more than 100 colors of embroidery threads, fully exerting the expressiveness of the needle technique, and finely engraved the characteristics of the appearance and inner quality of the object. The embroidery image is vivid and realistic, with bright colors, strong texture, both form and spirit, and bold style. It once had the reputation of "embroidery peanut fragrance, embroidery birds can listen to sound, embroidery tigers can run, and embroidery people can convey the spirit".
3. Hunan embroidery has a full composition, complex but not chaotic; the patterns are neat and exaggerated; the colors are bright and contrast is strong; the needlework is diverse and good at changing. Guangdong embroidery uses the unique technique of "water route" to make the embroidered patterns clear and harmonious and unified. &ldquo "Water" means that between each adjacent embroidery area, an equal distance of about 0.5mm is left between the needle lifting and the needle dropping point, thereby forming blank lines on the embroidery surface. For example, between each petal of the flower and the feathers of the birds, there is a clear and uniform "water road" left to make the image more eye-catching.
