Nothing is more attractive to me than the sugar painting. Watching the process of making a sugar painting is a true feast for my eyes.
The makers, with their great skills, create delicate sugar paintings with simple tools, including a small pot, a spoon, a table and some malt sugar. The sweet smell flew into our noses slowly as the sugar was melted in the pot. After knowing what to paint, the maker scooped a spoonful of sugar and put the spoon above the marble-topped table. He slightly leaned the spoon to a tiny degree, then quickly moved his hands before malt sugar got hard. The golden liquid was scattered accordingly, thick or thin. It was shortly after the maker moved his hands up or down, fast or slowly that a wonderful painting appeared in front of us. Amazing!
Can you imagine such a lively painting being finished in such a short time? Before malt sugar was completely cold, a thin stick was pressed on the sugar, making it easy to hold. A sugar painting in hand, everyone lost themselves in the joyful atmosphere.
對我來說,沒有什么比糖畫更有吸引力。觀看糖畫的制作過程是一場真正的視覺盛宴。
制作者以其高超的技藝,用簡單的工具(包括一口小鍋、一把勺子、一張桌子和一些麥芽糖),創(chuàng)造出精美的糖畫。當(dāng)糖在鍋里融化時,甜美的氣味慢慢地進(jìn)入我們的鼻子里。在知道要畫什么之后,制作者舀了一勺糖,手停留在大理石板面的桌子上方。他把勺子微微傾斜,然后在麥芽糖變硬之前迅速移動手。金色的液體相應(yīng)地散落下來,或濃或淡。就在制作者的手或上或下、或快或慢地移動后不久,一幅美妙的畫出現(xiàn)在我們面前。真是令人驚奇!
你能想象在這么短的時間內(nèi)完成這樣一幅生動的畫嗎?在麥芽糖完全冷卻之前,一根細(xì)細(xì)的竹簽被壓在糖上,使其方便手拿。一幅糖畫在手,大家都沉浸在歡樂的氣氛中。
