Travel: Indian Art and Craft : India the home of painting - 3


The Kalamkari technique of painting involves drawing outlines with burnt tamarind twigs dipped in molasses and iron flings. Vegetables dyes of deep shades are used to create epic scenes. With repeated subdued colouring processes, a sober but fine effect is achieved. The finished product depicts mythological themes with larger than life figures. The enormous scope of expression ascertains that no two panels are alike.
