    Hi, my question is regarding painting part of Tanjore. How do we outline the face/body of figures? Do we use some kind of red marker or sketch pen? Please help. Thanks, Nidhi

    Thanks for the detailed instructions.
    I am looking to try my hand at tanjore painting.
    I live in the US and not sure how to procure the raw materials, this being the first time.
    I found some gold foil listed in ebay, not even sure how/what to ask for chalk powder, finding some gum arabic @ amazon.
    If you could throw some light on any of these, that would be just great!
    Thanks in advance!
