Wheat Straw Painting(麦秆画) dates from the Sui and Tang dynasties. Today, some people are still interested in it, and Zhang Li is one of them. She became interested in Wheat Straw Painting when she was 16 years old. In 2015, she set up her own workroom. Now, Zhang Li realizes that Wheat Straw Painting is what she wants to do for the rest of her life.
She collects lots of wheat straw in the countryside. She dries the straw in the sun and then cuts it by hand. She uses colourful straws, like red, orange, black and brown, in her art works. “They are all natural,” Zhang Li says. Different colours make her paintings beautiful.
To make Wheat Straw Painting more attractive, she had the idea of mixing it with other traditional Chinese art. So she spent two years learning Suzhou embroidery(苏绣) from some famous artists.
One of her greatest works is a bird among flowers. It took her the whole year to finish it. The bird's smooth, shiny and colourful feathers(羽毛) are made of wheat straw, and the flowers are made of silk. “In my works, you will find paintings and embroideries mix well,” says Zhang Li.
Through hard work, Zhang Li's Wheat Straw Painting attracts many people. She says, “It's just the beginning. There is still a long way to go.”
