Lan recalled the first days acquainted with PS: "When I was studying at the School of Complementary Labor in Dong De (Nha Trang). I often see a young man painting and selling pictures. Then I always love the painting! And I draw with him who is now my husband, Mr. Le Ngoc Minh (in Dong Thap) study painting PS .... " Ms.Lan love drawing so much that she did not study at school to become physician. Not only learning in Dong Thap province – husband’s home, she also studied this art with him in Nha Trang from an old man in Vinh Ngoc (sometimes still drawing PS). More than 10 years , Ms. Lan has had much experiences in drawing PS. According to her, PS painting job is not difficult, just passional. The most difficulty is creation, not satisfied with what is already there. "This dragon does not same to that one. Dragon eyes, dragon head must also be moved flexible. The worker has to create, do not stereotype ... "- Ms. Lan said. PS Worker need to know PS drawing colored standard (only use Snow White paint); outline exactly, carefully, distance is not fallen ...
LT painting stages include: cutting glass, sketching ideas on customers’ demand; coloring and completing with border work and braces around ... "Doing this job has to know Chinese characters, because all the words on the picture are Chinese characters "Lan said. She had to spend a long time to learn the Han script and Chinese characters. Some parallelsentences written on the picture require the use of Han script, if you write wrong, experienced people will laugh. The words above the picture are: Phuoc Loc Tho, Duc Luu Phuong ... in the middle: Phuoc Loc; To Duong; Phung Tien Linh ... For temples and church are more complex: Ta ban, Huu ban,Ta Chieu liet vi, Huu Muc liet vi...; four corners have Long Lan Quy Phung ... All these words are written on background landscape paintings (wash drawing), or temple tower ..., 12 horses (mean success) or 8 horses (mean fast) .
° And trade city ...
Calling "city" but now there are only four shops located along the road from Thanh to Nha Trang. Ms.Lan and Mr. Minh who created "artists" group painting PS today and they are all relatives. Novices learn framing, sharpness... According to Lan, PS current is "no touch" so it has "land" to develop, by the need of worship, they built churches, temples and communal houses.PS products of the Dien An city are sold in many places: Phan Boi Chau (Nha Trang), Ninh Hoa district, Phan Rang (Ninh Thuan province) ... In the past, also rival products compete with PS Dien An "street", which is peddling products of Binh Dinh. But Binh Dinh paint is not glossy, thin glass, framed by coconut trees so it is cheap: 600,000VND per set. Though Dien An products are higher 800,000 VND / set, but it uses Snow White paint, thick glass, cardboard frames ..., superior quality, which has dominated the market.
PS paintings today have many prices. Luxury pearl Taiwanese frame (wood frame lined plaster casting) with prices from 1.1 to 1.9 million per set, pearl aluminum frame 0.8 to 1.3 million per set; market products moderately prices: 300 - 700 thousand VND per set. Currently, the PS "city" uses frame of Taiwan products, finished product frame 30,000 VND / m. PS paintings set for their church, family, temple complex so their prices are higher. However, the "city"is gotten deposits having high-value, such as shipment more than 15 million VND for Phuoc Trach temple (Dien Toan).
