Tanjore paintings are quite laborious and can be time-consuming. Summers are supposed to be the best time for these paintings as there is quite a bit of drying and setting that is required, and warm weather helps. The following are the broad steps involved in making a Tanjore painting.

Tanjore Painting Tips

  • You can use paint putty instead of "muck." Though I have never used it, I have seen many experienced artists using putty.
  • While removing gold foil from stones, it helps to make an impression by using a safety pin around the stone first. Then, apply a drop of water. After a few seconds, it will be easier to remove the foil from the stone.
  • If you wish to avoid making Arabic gum, any good glue, such as Fevicol will also work. You will need it anyway for sticking gemstones.
  • If gold paper tears, you can use gold paint to hide those tears. This, however, works only for very small tears. Therefore, be very careful while removing gold foil from stones.
  • Wait for your work to dry completely before proceeding with the next step. Gold foils tear very easily. After sticking the gold foil, use a soft cloth and press gently but firmly. If you do it too softly, the embossed design won't show.
