Hi folks,

If any of you have experience in tanjore painting, please share your thoughts and ideas here. I have googled and found lot of stuffs but nothing had a clear expalnation on the painting steps. If someone can share real time experience with pictures that would be really fantastic.

Hi,
I am an ardent fan of Tanjore paintings.of late i have started doing some with the help of MR V.K Iyer based in Chennai.He has created a wonderful website for the art
:: V.K. Iyer Tanjore Paintings :: The Tanjore paintings invariably depict Hindu Deities like Ganesha, Krishna, Shiva, Parvathi, Vishnu and Lakshmi. Painting goes back to the 17th century. Maratha Rulers of Tanjore(Tanjavur) patronised this art. Do visit the site and contact him.Since he is alos in chennai i guess its an added boon for you.

Hi Kamala & Chandrika,
I am a new ILite and am in Singapore, i have been practising the art of Tanjore painting for the past 12 years. sorry to say that u cant teach tanjore painting online let alone in a 2 or 3 day workshop. it is a very painstaking process right from making the canvas which we call a board to completing the last part which is the painting! I would advise you to contact a Mrs Lakshmi Krishnamoorthy in adayar chennai who also teaches tanjore at kalakshetra i'm sorry i dont know her number- kamala. Chandrika sorry i dontknow anybody in coimbatore but there should be someone teaching- check the internet for any advts regarding classes and please both of u go to the person's place and check th quality of work before u join.

Hi koel,
I happen to be practising tanjore painting for 12 years. U have to personally see what is being done and have to do what u r taught in front of the teacher it takes us quite a long time to get each step at least quarter as good as the teacher so there is no use even if u follow the steps online. Checkout some good teachers in chennai, go see their work, check if their gold work is as good as their painting, then join and do a painting with the teacher. after you do one picture, do a picture on your own using the instructions given by your teacher.
all the best
