An Introduction To Pulp Painting

By George Johnson


In painting, prior preparation is necessary. Pulp painting also needs a lot of careful preparation. This is especially needed in the making of the pulp. Once the pulp is done properly, one is assured of a good result of the painting.

It is the art of using the colored pulp as a medium and applying it on a surface. The pulp can be derived from different qualities of materials such as reeds, grass, cotton or even bamboo.

It is important to select the fiber that will work for you. Each fiber has a different type of texture. You can get different results on the same painting depending on the fiber you used. The next step is to create the pulp by mixing the fiber with water to provide a fine texture.

The most preferred fiber to use is bamboo as it is usually easily available. It creates a pulp that is easy to control and less absorbent. Once the pulp is ready, it is colored with different colors ready to be used.

Each fiber tends to absorb color differently just as with textiles. The same red pigment will look different in the different fibers just as it would in different textiles. The varying texture and surface texture of each fiber also tend to produce a different color result.

You need to be very attentive when mixing the colors or else you will end up with a tone you did not expect. Once you are done mixing the colors on the pulps, keep the pulps separate. Do not allow them to mix the colors by keeping them together.

In this art painting, colors can be easily added. The whole idea of the painting is to create illusions with color. When the painting is viewed at close range, it is easy to notice the fibers used and the color separately. But when viewed at a distance, the painting gives a different illusion.

Before you start painting, it is important to have an idea of how you want the painting to be. You can start by drawing a sketch that will guide you. This is particularly helpful since you will be painting from the front moving to the back.

You, therefore, have to practice this special technique. It is unlike other regular painting and will require some practice to get it right moving from the front to the back.

The whole idea of the painting technique is to help you keep control over the outcome of the painting. When you start with painting the foreground, you avoid painting over a wet background. You, therefore, have control over how the painting ends up.

As you continue painting, ensure the pulp remains wet. To give an appearance of depth, several tones of one color are used. Each layer needs to be applied carefully to avoid messing the previous layer.

You may use a board on the background of the painting to strengthen it and allow it to hold the painting properly. You can use silicon as it is the best adhesive for this work. It is also recommended to clear out as much water as possible using a vacuum pump to quicken the drying process.

The board can later be removed when the painting is completely dry. The drying period can be weeks depending on the size of the painting. You will end up with a paper thin painting once you remove the board.
