The resultant artwork will be a 100% natural, eco-friendly, and enriched royal painting of the bygone era.

Course Brief:

The course begins with a structured introduction to traditional Tanjore paintings and the fundamentals to be followed by the students.

The course will take students through the processes and materials involved in the artwork. It teaches the methodologies of handling the materials in traditional ways, providing an opportunity to extend and deepen their understanding of the ‘Fresco Secco’ concept in the creative development of Tanjore painting.
