What kind of painting is intangible cultural heritage handmade sugar painting?

Intangible cultural heritage handmade sugar paintings and connected strokes.

Sugar painting is a traditional folk handicraft. It is similar to the painting technique of continuous strokes. The lingering lines formed by sugar liquid are used to compose the picture. It is similar to the line drawing in Chinese painting and the sketch in Western painting. It also has the magical charm of Chinese folk paper-cutting. The tools used are only one spoon and one shovel. The sugar is usually brown and white sugar plus a little caramel, which is boiled on the stove over a warm fire. When it is ready to draw the thread, it can be used to cast the mold.

When drawing the shape, the artist scoops up the melted sugar juice with a small spoon and quickly casts it back and forth on the stone slab to draw the shape. The skill of the folk artist is the key to the shape. When the shape is completed, use a small spatula to scoop up the sugar painting and stick the bamboo skewers on it.
