Mysore Painting Stores

The base of the Mysore Paintings comprises paper pasted on a wooden base. Next a paste made of zinc oxide and “gesso paste” is applied. In the next step a thin brush with all the jewelry and parts of throne and arch with some relief are painted giving a slight raised effect of carving. This application is left out for drying and then a thin gold foil is pasted on the surface. The rest of the piece is then painted using watercolors. Only muted colors are used.

There are many Mysore Painting Stores that provide varied painting products which are very much in demand. The Mysore painting is believed to be developed since 17th and 18th centuries. Since the day of its inception this type of painting has become popular with the name of Mysore School. Traditionally any form of Mysore paintings were done on a paper pasted over a piece of cloth or wood. Once a painting with Mysore theme is completed it was allowed for drying. During the beginning years artists use to apply vegetable dyes and mineral colors. Mural paintings are highly influenced of Mysore paintings. The best example of mural paintings can be seen in the temples and palaces of Karnataka.
