    How are Tanjore Paintings made?

    A lot of patience, hard work and concentration is needed while making Tanjore Paintings. First of all you have to do the board preparation after which you have to trace the pattern on it. Once the pattern is traced you have prepare the Muck. The Muck is the paste that is used to create the embossed effect in Tanjore paintings - the gold foil is later pasted over these raised areas. Once you are done making and applying the muck. You have to make a cone and put muck inside it and then start drawing the lines around the stones with a cone. Once this is done you have to create lines around the stones with a paint brush. Once the entire process is done you can stick gold foil on all the embossed areas, press it, take the impression & cut out the foil with a few mm allowance. Now on the reverse part apply gum, paste the gold foil and with a thin fine cloth press lightly. Make sure that while doing this process the gold foil does not move out of position or tear. Make sure that when you press the impressions are visible and there are no gaps or air pockets. Once the designs are made with muck and once you cover the muck with foil, ensure that you cut off all the excess foils around the design. Scrape out the foil on the stones with a sharp needle or pin. Paint over the design.
