Indian Miniature Painting Elephants and Animals

Description

Indian Miniature Painting Elephants and Animals with Samantha Buckley. These three-day, inspirational workshops, based in the idyllic location of Moor and Sea Holidays on Exmoor, introduce students to the beautiful technique of Indian miniature painting. ​Taught by Samantha Buckley who is a professional Indian miniature artist and teacher. Samantha studied at the School of Traditional Arts in London and in India under a Master of Indian Miniature Painting. Taking inspiration from the surrounding landscape and the Mughal art of capturing nature, students will have the opportunity to create their own unique Elephant and animal paintings. ​The first step will be paper preparation, staining and burnishing. Next is an introduction to pigments, how to prepare the Indian palette and paint with them, using the traditional technique of colour flooding. ​The final stage will be to create the fine detail, an integral part of this style. For this, students will use the technique known as Prataj, or invisible shading, with the unique squirrel hair brush made only in India. There are other Indian Miniature Workshops available..check out the details on this website. September 13th-15th 2024 Flowers April 25th-27th 2025 Birds October 3rd-5th 2025 Trees
