Making of Mysore Traditional Paintings

  • The method of creating a Mysore painting entails numerous processes.
  • The artist must first produce a basic sketch of the image on the basis, which consists of cartridge paper put to a wooden base.
  • After that, they make a gesso paste, which is a mixture of zinc oxide and Arabic gum.
  • This paste is applied to the sections of the painting that require elaboration and left to dry to provide a slightly elevated illusion of carving.
  • The gold foil then adheres to the surface. Water colours are used to finish the rest of the artwork.
  • After the painting has dried completely, it is covered with a thin piece of paper and lightly scraped with a smooth, soft stone.

Traditional Mysore Paintings
  • All of the raw materials used in traditional Mysore paintings were manufactured by the artisans, including the board, brushes, paints, and gold foil.
  • Camel’s hair, squirrels’ hair, goat’s hair, and other materials were used to make the brushes.
  • Instead of poster colours and watercolours, vegetable and mineral colours were used.
  • The sketches were previously created by burning tamarind twigs in an iron tube. However, these sketches are now done with charcoal.
  • Rather than the single cartridge paper foundation used presently, the base consisted of paper, wood, wall, and cloth.
  • Hindu Gods and Goddesses, as well as events from Hindu mythology, are the most common themes in Mysore paintings.
  • The observers were generally impressed by the elegance, beauty, and complexity of Mysore’s Paintings.
