Kim Hoàng painting

However, the art of making Kim Hoàng painting is still considered a symbol of traditional culture and aesthetic value of Vietnam.

The colours used in making Kim Hoàng painting are obtained from black Chinese ink and other natural materials such as white gypsum, red vermilion and yellow gardenia.

Like the production of Hàng Trống painting, Kim Hoàng craftsmen only used the woodblocks to create the black outlines and then drew and coloured details by their own hands.

Kim Hoàng Picture of the pig brings a bohemian and natural line with a clever combination of colors and highlights on the red paper.

The artisan shows a liberal drawing that makes the image of a more stylized pig with details replaced by a pattern but still retains its inherent soul.

Lợn độc ( Pig ), one of the surviving examples of Kim Hoàng painting.
