Step-by-Step Process of Crafting a Tanjore Painting
Concept & Sketching
Each painting begins with a carefully planned concept. Based on the chosen deity—Balaji, Lakshmi, Krishna, or Ganesha—our artists create a detailed hand-drawn sketch defining posture, expression, and ornaments.
Canvas Preparation
A strong base is prepared using a wooden board covered with cotton cloth. Limestone paste and natural adhesive are applied to strengthen the surface and prepare it for embossing.
Relief Work (Embossing)
Embossing gives the painting its signature 3D appearance. Jewelry, crowns, and divine elements are raised to add depth and visual richness.
Gold Foil Application
Once the relief work is set, genuine 22-carat gold foil is carefully applied by hand, requiring precision and expertise to achieve a flawless finish.
Coloring & Detailing
Natural and poster colors are applied with patience to enhance vibrancy while maintaining harmony with the gold elements.
