Miniature Paintings

These are Rajasthan miniature paintings;

Size - 11" by 14"
Medium - poster colours

The speciality of miniatures is that we bring in as many details as possible within as small a space. This way the artists get a very good brush control and it looks very appealing to the viewer because its a very intricate work.

This one is lord Krishna leaning against a wall thinking about Radha,his lover..

Siporex stone carving - Kathakali


Category: Siporex Stone Carving
Status : Sold Out

This is a Siporex stone carving work - a kathakali face -this is the first customized order that I have taken up from my Mallu friend!!!
Generally kathakali faces are very colourful - but my client insisted that he wanted a non-traditional kathakali face..

This was made from this plain block of stone by first marking the outline and then carefully carving out the features and designs - it has to be done only using blunt tools as this is a very soft stone  and sharp tools will damage the stone and its very difficult to patch it up..

Pot Paintings


Tried out the crackle effect on this..here a base lighter colour is first applied,allowed tk dry completely,then a later of crackle medium is applied - when its half-dry and tacky, a coat of the darker colour is applied they are allowed to dry completely - in the process, the crackle medium crackles and exposes the layer of paint lying beneath its surface, thus giving this beautiful effect..!!

Tried this using the blocking technique where we try to reproduce the original picture by using jus lines,not bothering about the exact curves..once the original picture falls into proportion, we then fine tune to get the actual figure..
