Four meoricho project completed

Finally I have completed four meoricho project. I was working on them quite a long time. Many things happened in my life during that period, good and bad but at last I managed to finish the dancheong paintings.

The meorichoes (머리초) were painted by temperas on pine wood boards. I used brushes which sizes were 2; 1 and 3/0 for detailed art work. After all I used varnish to secure the paintings. Now you can see the effects.

모로단청 - Moro Dancheong

Today, I would like to show my other project that I started some time ago. I decided to paint the whole beam in Moro Dancheong style. The dimensions of the wooden board are 97 x 20 cm. I used temperas and brushes with sizes: 4, 2 and 1.

This work includes following patterns: saeksil (색실), hwi (휘) and expanded meoricho motifs (머리초) with three lotuses per each. The Geutgi Dancheong (긋기단청) - painted green background with two black-white lines along the beam's egde was placed in the middle between meorichoes (머리초). The whole work was painted according to the Joseon dancheong (조선시대의 단청) type.
