How to use Pyrography / wood burning to create a flower (playlist)

In this video series, I started a project on  wooden plaque using the art of Wood burning / Pyrography.
The subject of this project is a flower.
The flowers were always and will be always the icon of arts
I didn't imagine the end product will be of this beauty!
I made this project over many weeks since I work on wood burning only 3 hours every week.
I enjoyed it a lot.
Enjoy!

Pyrography project of an Islamic pattern

• In this two minutes video, I used the geometry and the Islamic art design to create the famous islamic Eight-pointed star on wood.
• Islamic decoration makes great use of geometric patterns which have developed over the centuries. Many of these derived from various earlier cultures: Greek, Roman, Byzantine,Central Asian, and Persian.
• The shading in this piece was linear which is a very easy technique of shading.
• The design is easy once you got the idea.
• The lines can be burned easily by the help of a metal ruler.

Obama burned on wood

I was touched by the success of Obama 4 years before as the first African American to reach the White House.
Few months before he was able to repeat his triumph.
His tweet " Another four years sky rocketed in twitter.
I have no interest in politics, I am not an American after all.
Yet i was inspired by the story of the man.
In this project I used the Pyrography / wood burning to burn the Obama's face on the wood!!
Funny as it sounds but i enjoyed it so much
I recorded the steps from the copying of the face using carbon/graphite paper through the painting of the wood till finishing the piece.
It took me two days to finish this piece.

How to shade simply using Pyrography / wood burning

Shading is what gives more life to any drawing
I was always looking for an easy way of shading my drawings on wood
I believe that this technique is the easiest and the fastest .
Simply by applying parallel lines close to each others
The intinesty of the shades increase by intersecting one group of parallel lines with another
I use a cheap wood burner which is in capable of shading large areas yet this techniques is very suitable for My burner and give a great finish

An awesome collection of woodburning collection

This video shows 8 woodburning / pyrography projects
The animals specially the predators are the subjects of all the pieces
The drawings is so live and appealing
The nature of the wild animals make it more vivid and mysterious.
I really was taken by the mix of painting and pyrography in the wolf piece, the mix between wood
carving and pyrography in the second wolf piece.
The touches are very accurate.
The pictures were not copied to wood using carbon or graphite which make it more difficult for the pyrographer.
By the end I should refer to the artists channel that I have subscribed to it to see future piece.

How to transfer a pattern to wood using ironing technique ?

An important step for any pyrography creation process is the copying of the pattern to the wood

i use the simple carbon / graphite copying technique

but how about other techniques?

in this video the pyrographer uses a very easy technique to transfer his pattern from paper to wood

simply by ironing the paper with its face down to the wood

the good thing about it that the full details are copied which will make the burning step more and more easy

yet some pyrographers may find it less appealing since they need more room for their talent to be expressed and added to the original patter

however it so nice and easy especially for beginners

enjoy it
