Tanjore Painting

 This is my first attempt of creating Tanjore Painting. 

I saw an advert in Times of India Pune in 2001 for Art Class where classes for various arts were offered. I liked tanjore painting and decided to complete one frame under guidance... 

Now I regret not taking photographic memories of each steps involved in this painting. 

It is very meticulous art of painting and needs lot of dedication and eye for detail. It took me 20 days where in I worked on this frame for 4 hours everyday .

 If anyone of you are interested in knowing more about this art form please follow this blog

I don't think I can replicate this art without guidance yet, but one day I would really like to master this art ...

Valentine Box - Open view

 

This art involves many skills like tracing, embossing, painting and perforating with special scissors. Tools for these skills are also produced by Pergamano Company and Parchment Craft Australia (PCA). 

 

I learnt this art in 2002 in Pune through one of those classified art class advertisements. Though, later I learnt that the lady was not registered teacher (She certainly had the skills - but never gave the certification exam).

 

I made a fan - wall decor under her supervision in India, but later kept on finding more free patterns from Pergamano website to pursue my own art.
