Silks and Stone Powder: Uniting Materials and Traditions
An essential aspect of Cheongyeon is the use of traditional materials. Silk, a luxurious fabric known for its smooth texture, serves as the canvas for these intricate paintings. Its fine weave allows artists to achieve delicate details and vibrant colors, bringing their creations to life.
Stone powder, another key component, adds unique texture and depth to the artwork. Artists grind stones into a fine powder and mix it with pigments to create a palette of natural hues. This traditional pigment stone enhances the overall aesthetic and authenticity of Cheongyeon, paying homage to ancient practices.
