Since the beginning of Arioso culture, Lord Jonathan has been the major source of inspiration. “These themes revolve around this art form and mostly deal With stories from Inhabitant, Ramadan and legends uncovering Radar and Krishna, Lord Jonathan and other popular legends. But the most popular is the depiction Of Carthaginian, Baldhead and Subheads, the Divine triad or Sir. Jonathan Patti” (Patrician Paintings). The individual paintings of gods and goddesses are also painted. Overall, it is these themes which give the art a widely interesting background.
Patrician paintings undertake a procedure and a lot of skill is required in order to recreate the traditional masterpiece, For starters, Patrician paintings are done on a canvas with small strips of cotton cloth. The canvas is prepared by coating the cloth with mixture of chalk and gum made from tamarind seeds and then it is rubbed by using two different stones. ‘The mixture tot gum and chalk gives the cloth’s surface a leathery finish on which the artists paint with vegetable, earth and stone colors” (Patrician).
The canvas cannot stay as a cloth tort because then it will be difficult to paint on, so the leathery surface is necessary. ‘The painters do not use pencil or charcoal for the preliminary drawings. ” This shows that they are expert with this form of art, so they simply just draw directly with the brush. “The background on which the figures are represented, has decorations of lowers and foliages. All the paintings are given decorative borders. The whole painting is conceived in the form of a design on a given canvas” (Patrician).
Borders also play 3 grand role in the paintings because first on the painting on all the four sides must consist of two or three lines according to the size of the painting (Kumara_ All the extra details and decorations are What distinguishes the painting and makes it unique.
