What You'll Learn

We guide you by teaching you how to prepare the canvas and put the sketch onto canvas.

This is followed by preparation of the gum, jesso and its application.

Then we will move onto painting techniques. We will go through each and everystroke required.

We'll teach you face painting towards the end, as by this time, you'll have great experience with the brush!

Purity of the gold is important for your painting to retain its shine

3 - Arabic Gum Crystals
We use this to prepare the jesso and for sticking the gold

We will ship it to you from within US. This is the main ingredient used to create the jesso

5 - 4 Sable Hair Brushes
Whats an artist without their brush?
The best brushes are required to achieve finesse

Gems are an integral part of your Tanjore Paintings

7 - Original Swarowski Crystals
