The colourful Klamkari painting depicts the Lord of Wisdom Ganesha playing the Veena. The painting is replete with some spectacular designs and drawings. The Lord is sitting on a lotus and his figure is heavily decorated with some sparkling drawings.
Kalamkari technique involves drawing outlines with burnt tamarind twigs dipped in molasses and iron fillings. Vegetables dyes of deep shades are used to create epic and religious scenes. A sober final effect is created with repeating the process of colouring. The unique thing about these painting is that no two panels are similar. Vegetable and mineral pigments are used to create these paintings. |
