    hi, i've been long fascinated by these kerala mural type of paintings- its normally done with vegetable dyes- but i'd like to clarify, if i can make a similar one on a chart paper using poster colors.

    if anyone is aware of this, please do guide me.

    Hi sudhak90,
    I have also been fascinated by the kerala mural type of paintings,as all the other traditional types.And as far as I know, they can be imitated on chart paper or canvas boards, with poster, acrylic or even oil colors, provided you are able to bring out the exact shades.Happy painting!:thumbsup

    This is my first attempt at a Kerala Mural. The painting in reality looks much better than the photograph :). Please do give me your valuable comments.
