Wow!!…They fascinate me a lot!.. Wherever I see any Tanjore painting, I take time and watch all the intricate details, the beauty of the figures, painter’s patience and perseverance. The art form itself is so interesting. Yes. It is 50% art and 50% craft. Needs back breaking work.. But the result is well worth it and very satisfying!!
I learnt Tanjore painting last year from Mrs Usha Srikumar(near vijayanagar bus terminus,velachery). A very good teacher indeed . She let me draw the full painting, helped me wherever needed and taught many short cuts. I really have to Thank her, for without her I donno if I would have had confidence start my other Tanjore paintings.I especially enjoy Krishna’s rounded face, chubby cheeks and dreamy eyes in TP and it is obvious guess for anyone, my first TP was Oonjal Vennai Krishna. J My Ganesha was a gift to my in-laws and my Muruga was a gift to my parents.( It is Raja alangaram of Palani Murugan).
I have done a Saraswathy till muck work(work in progress for long time ). Yet to complete it.
wow nice collection
ReplyDeleteMurugan in this special alankaram looks amazing
ReplyDeleteI saw this blog when I was searching for Mrs Usha's number. I learnt Tanjore painting from Mrs Usha as well 2 years back. She is an awesome teacher.So dedicated. I just had 10 days and she made sure I finish the painting by then. My first TP was Oonjal Vennai Krishna as well. Looks very similar to yours.
