UMargaux Valengin, umdwebi ofundise kulo lonke elase-UK ezikoleni ezifana neManchester School of Art kanye neSlade School of Fine Art yaseLondon, ithuluzi elibaluleke kakhulu ibhulashi.“Uma uwanakekela kahle amabhulashi akho, azohlala impilo yakho yonke,” ephawula.Qala ngezinhlobonhlobo zezinhlobo ezahlukene, ubheke ukuhlukahluka komumo––nxazonke, isikwele, kanye namajamo wabalandeli yizibonelo ezithile––kanye nezinto ezibonakalayo, njengezinwele ezisable noma ezishwabezelayo.U-Valengin weluleka ukuthi uzithengele mathupha esitolo,
hhayiku-inthanethi.Ngale ndlela ungakwazi ukubuka ngokomzimba izimfanelo kanye nokwehluka kwamabhulashi ngaphambi kokuwathenga.
Mayelana nopende, u-Valengin uncoma ukutshala imali kumapende angabizi kakhulu uma ungumuntu osaqalayo.Ishubhu engu-37 ml yopende kawoyela wekhwalithi ephezulu ingabiza imali engaphezulu kuka-$40, ngakho-ke kungcono ukuthenga amapende ashibhile ngenkathi uqhuba futhi uzama.Futhi njengoba uqhubeka nokudweba, uzothola ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo nemibala oyikhethayo."Ungagcina usuthanda lokhu okubomvu kulolu hlobo, bese uthola ukuthi uthanda lokhu okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kolunye uhlobo," u-Valengin wanikela."Uma usuwazi okwengeziwe ngemibala, ungafaka imali kumbala ofanele."
Ukwengeza amabhulashi akho nopende, qiniseka ukuthi uthenga ummese wephalethi ozoxuba ngawo imibala yakho—ukwenza kanjalo ngebhulashi esikhundleni sakho kungagcina sekulimaze amabhulashi akho ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.Okwephalethi, amaciko amaningi atshala imali ocezwini olukhulu lwengilazi, kodwa u-Valengin uphawula ukuthi uma kwenzeka uthole ucezu lwengilazi oluyisipele, ungalusebenzisa ngokumane usonge imiphetho yayo nge-tape yokudonsa.
Ukuze kusetshenziswe i-canvas noma ezinye izisekelo, abaculi abaningi basebenzisa i-acrylic gesso—i-primer emhlophe ewugqinsi—kodwa ungasebenzisa futhi iglue yesikhumba sikanogwaja, eyoma kucace.Uzodinga ne-solvent, njenge-turpentine, ukuze unciphise upende wakho, futhi abaculi abaningi ngokuvamile bagcina izinhlobo ezimbalwa ezihlukene zama-mediums asekelwe uwoyela esandleni.Amanye ama-mediums, njengamafutha e-linseed, azosiza upende lwakho lome ngokushesha, kanti abanye, njengamafutha omile, bazokwelula isikhathi sokumisa.
Upende wamafutha uyomangokwedlulelekancane, futhi noma ubuso buzwakala bomile, upende ngaphansi kusengenzeka ukuthi usamanzi.Uma usebenzisa upende owenziwe ngamafutha, kufanele uhlale ukhumbula le mithetho emibili engqondweni: 1) upende uncike kakhulu (noma "unamafutha phezu kwe-lean"), futhi 2) ungalokothi ubeke ama-acrylic phezu kwamafutha.Ukudweba "ukuncika ekugqimeni" kusho ukuthi kufanele uqale imidwebo yakho ngopende oluncane oluncane, futhi njengoba uqhubeka ungqimba, kufanele wengeze i-turpentine encane kanye ne-oyili esekelwe ngaphezulu;ngaphandle kwalokho, izingqimba zopende zizokoma ngokungalingani, futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ubuso bomsebenzi wakho wobuciko buzoqhekeka.Okufanayo kuya ekubekeni ama-acrylics namafutha - uma ungafuni ukuthi upende lwakho luqhekeke, faka amafutha ngaphezulu kwama-acrylics.
