Colors for spray-painted paper-cutting
Dyeing paper-cutting can produce clear boundaries between colors without changing colors. The color blocks are all one color with high brightness; color-filled paper-cutting can produce the shades of dyeing like gongbi paintings. The changes have a three-dimensional effect. However, since a certain distance must be maintained when spraying colored paper-cuts, when spraying different colors, they must be mixed with each other. This is the limitation of spraying colors with paint cans.
However, since spray-color paper-cutting has its limitations, it must have its formal personality, because the emergence of any individual form is often realized within specific restrictions. For example, very small color particles can appear natural and charming when they are still wet. Natural changes in color can also cause changes in the volume and light and shade of an object. Even if the color of the object is very bright, it can also make the object look beautiful. The image of the ups and downs becomes very rich.

During the practice of spray color paper cutting, there are two issues that should be paid attention to. One is "flower": when spraying colors, if you want to distinguish the color of each object, for example, the flowers on the clothes are sprayed with red, the leaves are sprayed with green, and the background color of the clothes is sprayed with sky blue, The result will be a big painted face, which is too messy and fragmented; the other is "grey": when spraying colors, you should have a clear idea of ??what color you want to spray. If you spray the wrong color, it will be difficult to change it. Similar hues are still difficult to change. Yes, if three or more colors of different hues are sprayed together, the color will turn gray and dull. Therefore, when preparing colors, you should choose two cans of similar colors with different shades. Use the darker one first, and then use the lighter color to blend, so that the color changes can be natural. For example: spray emerald green first, and then blur it with a lighter jade green. The gradient process will be very beautiful.
