Tanjores are one of the glorious art pieces that date back to 16th century, yet are admired by various art connoisseurs in India. The art originated in South India and was named Thanjavaur Oviyam. Do you know what's the most striking aspect about these paintings? Of course, their grandeur! Most of the times they portray Hindu Deities like Ganesha, Krishna, Balaji and Lakshmi.
I was really carried away by their beauty, which was greatly enhanced in the presence of the spotlight. The golden yellow color that highlighted the sketches became more pronounced.
The process- How do the Experts do it?
The wooden planks are cut in desired dimensions and a thick cloth is glued over it. This base is sketched with an elementary sketch. A strong adhesive( containing Zinc Oxide is applied before completing the final drawing. Once the framework is laid down, it's time for the embellishment- The outlines are adorned with gold metal foils and gemstones. And of course, the inner fill is done with metallic colour dyes!
Seems a little overwhelming! Yet, you can do this at home. Even I doubted the possibility unless I stumbled upon this great post Design Decor & Disha: Indian Art: Tanjore Art Of Tamil Nadu.on the blog Design Decor & Disha.Check it out! You will love it!
