Second, pigments. The pigments used to draw Thangka are all natural and have no chemical components. It is hand-painted by grinding all kinds of precious stones into powder and modulating them into pulp, expressing reverence and support for bodhisattva, and of course it is also a symbol of wealth! Real thangka smells a little, but ordinary pigments have no odor.
Third, the painter. Thangka painters are generally passed down from generation to generation, or directly monks in temples. Real masters can sign their works. Every god has a fixed system, and on this basis, it all depends on the artist's skill and aesthetics! The works of outstanding painters can be auctioned at Christie's and collected in museums all over the world. The golden age of a painter is thirty or forty years old, but when he is old, his eyes will not work. Unlike China painters, the older they get, the redder they get. Now there is a common counterfeiting technique, that is, printing Thangka first and then coloring it, which is also quite bright. Shoddy, and this is bought by the tour group! Then you might as well go to Yangliuqing to buy a New Year picture and have fun with ten pieces of Qian Tu!
Fourth, size. This depends on your choice. Generally speaking, small ones are cheap, big ones are expensive and big ones are expensive. For example, a lotus peanut master painted for eight months. How many eight months does a painter have in his life?
Five, idols. Refers to the gods and bodhisattvas depicted, such as Huang Caishen, who is an auspicious person; Mahagara attracts some wealth; The pharmacist Buddha eliminates illness and protects health; Avalokitesvara with thousands of hands and eyes is our favorite in China. Four-armed Guanyin is the favorite worship of Tibetan people; Tibetan believers generally hang on to the lotus master, good believers generally follow the green Tara, and so on.
Sixth, the price. If you want to make the town house beautiful, please hire a cost-effective one and look good after mounting! If you want to pursue artistic appreciation, I suggest you buy the best if possible!
Seven, mounting. Just make a mirror and a photo frame. You can choose your own photo frame with it, so simple. The trick is, please try to use a golden frame and put it on cardboard, which will look particularly solemn and magnificent.
