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. read less
