The Creative Process ... | Vietnamese leaf painting - Message from leaves

OUTLINE 

Our craftsmans (our artists) outline the main detail of the leaf painting in pencil. Some of our artists prefer to sketch out the outline of the painting, and others use a grid system or special tool to ensure the dimensions and spacing of the reproduction are going to be accurate. This outline will be the template for the leaf painting to follow.
 
 

SELECTING SUITABLE LEAF FOR PAINTING

After drawing outline,  the craftsman have to choose the right leaf with suitable colour for his art-works. Because each craftsman has his own feeling with his art-works so each person will choose with different leaf and colour. This unique particularity  make leaf painting totally different with other type of art: oil painting, lacquer, embroidery painting

   
VIETNAMESE CREATIVITY

Located on the 4th floor of a modest house at the top of Trường Chinh Str., in the heart of Hanoi, “Tranh Lá Việt”-Vietnamese Leaf Paintings workshop of Mr. Nguyễn Văn Duy gathers nearly 20 master craftsmans who eager for devoting to creativity.

Entering the house with its traditional shuttered windows is like stepping back a hundred years. Minimal furniture includes very simple wooden chairs, a bench and tables with teacups and roses in a vase. All round the room, however, stacked against every inch of wall, are the main focus of this house: leaf paintings.

With a talent for making art with leaves, one student has founded an arts company hoping to popularise the method. Do Minh Thu reports by Viet Nam News, Vietnam News Agency.

Le Dac Trung is a third year student at Ha Noi Architecture University, but his passion is leaves. When not in school, Trung spends his time creating elaborate collages of fallen leaves, composites of his forays down Ha Noi’s city streets and into the wooded areas of its surrounding provinces.

Hoping to popularise the method, Trung and his friends founded Viet Leaf-Painting Company on a small lane on Truong Chinh Street in Ha Noi (No. 20, lane 361 Truong Chinh Street) , home to around 21 painters aged 20-28.
