Re: want abt Tanjore ptng

Hi,
Tanjore painting effects can be made by simply replacing the gold foils with the golden fabric paints.I had attempted one in the tanjore style in the same way..Do have a look at it on my blog page music,musings n more .Hope u will get an idea!!!

Hi Maddie,
hatsoff to you. You have explained the procedure in detail , so well.
i am doing this art form for many years( approx 18 to 19 years) but i am doing in the old traditional method. Your method of using fevicol is easyer, but i heard that the life will not be so long like the old method of using only Arabic gum , lime and chalk. Now a days people started using paper instead of cloth like Mysore painting . You have given a wonderful explanation.BowBow.I would like to see your T. paintings.Please post all your work.
Thanks a ton.
wishes, visalamkrishnan

Re: tanjore painting

Hi Kamala & Chandrika,
I am a new ILite and am in Singapore, i have been practising the art of Tanjore painting for the past 12 years. sorry to say that u cant teach tanjore painting online let alone in a 2 or 3 day workshop. it is a very painstaking process right from making the canvas which we call a board to completing the last part which is the painting! I would advise you to contact a Mrs Lakshmi Krishnamoorthy in adayar chennai who also teaches tanjore at kalakshetra i'm sorry i dont know her number- kamala. Chandrika sorry i dontknow anybody in coimbatore but there should be someone teaching- check the internet for any advts regarding classes and please both of u go to the person's place and check th quality of work before u join.

Re: Tanjore painting - share your experience

Hi koel,
I happen to be practising tanjore painting for 12 years. U have to personally see what is being done and have to do what u r taught in front of the teacher it takes us quite a long time to get each step at least quarter as good as the teacher so there is no use even if u follow the steps online. Checkout some good teachers in chennai, go see their work, check if their gold work is as good as their painting, then join and do a painting with the teacher. after you do one picture, do a picture on your own using the instructions given by your teacher.
all the best
