ABOUT:
Nib painting looks really beautiful after it is completed, but need a lot of patience as it is time consuming and takes around ten days time to become dry. It looks almost like an embroidery work.
ITEMS REQUIRED:
A.For nib painting 3-types of nibs are needed and are available in stationery shops along with oil paints and other materials. Now a days nib paint kit is available including everything needed.
1)Round nib-round tip to do circle designs.
2)long nib-long tip to do long lines.
3)flat nib-short painted tip to draw small sharp lines.
B.Design
C.Felt cloth
D.hard board
E.oil paint
F.tracing paper
G.pencil carbon
H.glue.
METHOD:
1.Using glue, stick the felt cloth on the hard board.
2.Use white carbon paper to trace the design on the felt cloth(white lines are visible on black felt cloth).
3.Put the paint straight onto the felt. Press on it or score on the paint using the nib. Wherever a round design is required use the nib with round tip and wherever the small sharp lines are drawn short pointed tip nib is used. Generally long tip nib is used to do the lines. You can also take the paint on the nib and press it against the surface to create the design.
4.You may take 2-3 days to finish off with a design. The design will dry off very slowly, say by 10- days or more. The consistency of the paint is very thick.
5.After the design is fully dried, get it framed.
TIPS:
1.Two things should be always taken care while doing nib painting.
1) you should always start painting from top so as to move your hand freely towards down part.
2)you should move your hand evenly while doing your painting. This gives the painting a real look.
2.Decide on the color scheme of your design. Usually floral designs and scenery go well with nib painting.
3.Select the shades as per the design and if you mix two colors to get the double shade combination it will look really good.Since the petals are not of the same shade, white and pink paint should be used in good combination to get the double shade.
4.The felt can get dirty, but can be easily removed with thick dry brushes or with tooth brush.
tissue paper also can be used.
