Indian Miniature painting revisited Class 2

In this class we transfer images onto our wasli paper. the class was a bit shorter this time, with our teacher explaining there are two ways to approach the drawing. we could either add the opaque colours on the main elements and then add fine brush strokes, or we could use ink wash as the basis for adding the fine brush strokes.


Step 1 - We rubbed red orche onto the back on the tracing paper.



Step 2 - we positioned and tapped down the tracing paper onto the wasli paper, and once again trace the key outlines onto the wasli page.

  

 step 3 - We are now ready to start the next step of colouring in. Our teacher explained to us that we could use an ink wash as the background or opaque colours.
