Introduction to painting on Do canvas – Vietnamese folk painting
In order to talk about traditional Vietnamese art, Dong Ho folk paintings painted on Do paper must be mentioned.
Paper Do, created from Kinh Bac and Thang Long Do trees, is a traditional Vietnamese paper material. Painting on Do canvas has been used throughout thousands of years of civilization to preserve documents, including Han Nom books, scriptures, and folk artworks.
Despite the age of the Han Nom documents stored at the Vietnam Han Nom Institute, the ink strokes on them have remained intact. This indicates that Do canvas is a very durable material and ancient Vietnamese ink materials are incredibly powerful. Therefore, paintings painted on Do canvas are particularly coveted by collectors.
