Thanka Painting

This is Thanka art and my first one too. It is an authentic art style form Nepal created as early as 11^th century by Buddhists to illustrate life of Buddha and various other religious preaching. This art style involves lot of tiny bits of details, that’s just what makes it a little time consuming. It is such a colorful and vibrant painting with soft eyes and happy face. I used poster colors for this painting and also some fluorescent colors just to enhance its brightness, some paintings are also made using pure gold and bright color in it with regards to the occasion it is to be used. I have got it framed now and have hung it in our living room it looks so contrasting to the cream color walls. Well worth the enjoyment I had painting this picture hope to do some more when time permits.
