The main steps of making rubbings are as follows:
1. Prepare tools to make rubbings.
Relevant tools need to be prepared: paper or cloth, fixed stickers, heavy objects, pencils, ink and ink pads, etc. Inks are available in different colors and textures, depending on the effect you want to create.
2. Prepare materials.
When making rubbings, you need to collect some interesting materials. Natural objects such as grass leaves, petals, and small stones can be used for rubbings. You can also use discarded network cables, metal mesh, etc. at home to make corresponding shapes. At the same time, the artistry of rubbing paintings can be improved, such as adding hand-painted elements.
3. Fixed material.
Fix the prepared material on paper or cloth and lightly trace the outline with a pencil.
4. Apply ink.
Use a brush or other tool to spread the ink evenly onto the mounting sticker. Be careful not to use too much, otherwise it will affect the rubbing effect.
5. Make rubbings.
After peeling off the fixed sticker, cover it with a heavy object and press it gently.
6. Improve subsequent works.
On the basis of rubbings, you can continue to add your own unique elements and colors to make the entire work richer and more diverse, showing a unique artistic charm.
