Abstract

The article titled “Creating visual art with natural colors to encourage creative art for sustainable tourism of Phitsanulok province: A study of Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park” aims 1) to study the natural colors in a tourist location in Phitsanulok province focusing on Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park; and 2) to create visual art using natural colors to encourage creativity art for sustainable tourism of Phitsanulok province. The study was conducted by visiting Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park to study and collect data on natural materials that give colors to the Park. The data revealed 9 types of plants and red soil that give colors in different shades. To create visual art works, samples of natural materials were collected, crushed and squeezed to make natural watercolors using the method of brewing with hot water mixed with natural materials and squeezing natural watercolors out as well as using a rubbing method to get fresh natural colors. The art works were painted by a brush applying the paints directly on 100-pound paper in combination with a print-making technique by pouring natural-color water mixed with gum Arabic at the ratio of 5:1 paint onto a clear acrylic sheet before bringing to press to print the artwork. The creative style is semi-abstract art. The contents portray the tourist attractions in Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park with a touch of the artist’s own unique aesthetic experiences. The form is inspired by the simplicity of nature combined with imagination to convey emotion, meaning, and to promote creativity art for sustainable tourism.
