In the stone carving industry and many spatial three-dimensional art manufacturing industries, Landscape Stone is widely used as molds and finished products because of its advantages of light weight and high strength.
In the general process of Landscape Stone craftsmanship, Landscape Stone molds always serve as the transitional stage between clay sculpture and final material. Its price and craftsmanship advantages are also the reasons why it is so popular.
The finished Landscape Stone we see in our daily life are all in clear colors, and the main texture of the
stone sculpture is relatively clear, while the Landscape Stone themselves are milky white. How to shape Landscape Stone products of different colors according to different needs for finished stone sculpture is a concern of many Landscape Stone factories. Before color treatment, since the replica Landscape Stone mold will leave mud and stone, it needs to be polished after cleaning. The pigment for color treatment is generally acrylic paint.
Take the bronze color processing process of Landscape Stone as an example: an alloy with a copper content of 64% is bronze, and acrylic paint coloring can achieve this effect. The first step is to use dark pigment as a base color, and mix the pigment with water to completely cover the surface of the stone carving. The key point is to apply it evenly without accumulation or through the background color. Wait for it to dry before applying it a second time. In order to highlight the visual effect of patina, you can mix white and green paint into light-colored paint and apply it to the convex and concave areas on the surface of the stone sculpture. After all the paint is completely dry, apply it with white and colorless shoe polish, and the bronze matte effect will appear.
In addition to the craftsmanship, the later color processing will also be affected by the needs and content of the Landscape Stone. Different shades will appear due to lighting or illumination factors. To perfectly integrate various colors and materials, the landscape also needs to be Stone craft practitioners continue to explore during the actual shaping process.
