Wheat Straw Painting (麥稈畫) first appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Today, some people are
still
interested in it, and Zhang Li is one of them. She
became
interested in Wheat Straw Painting when she was 16 years old. In 2015, she set up her own workroom. Now, Zhang Li realizes that Wheat Straw Painting is
what
she wants to do for the rest of her life.
She collects lots of wheat straw in the countryside. She
dries
the straw in the sun and then cuts it by hand. Colourful straws, like red, orange and brown can be found in her artworks. "They are all
natural
," Zhang Li said. Different colours make her paintings beautiful.
To develop
Wheat Straw Painting, she came up
with
the idea of mixing it with other traditional Chinese art. So she spent two years learning Suzhou embroidery(蘇繡) from some famous artists.
One of her greatest works is a bird among flowers. It took her a whole year to finish it. The
bird's
smooth-shiny and colourful feathers are made of wheat straw, while the flowers are made of silk. "In my works, you will find paintings and embroideries mix well," said Zhang Li.
Through great effort, Zhang Li
successfully
brought Wheat Straw Painting to people's attention. She said, "What I have done is just the very
beginning
. There is still a long way to go."
