A Technical Study on Tibetan Buddhist Painting and Its Traditional Method

Painting, among the different arts and crafts practised in Tibet, appears to play a particularly important role in both religious centres and the daily life of ordinary Tibetans. By observing Tibetan Buddhist painting in action and attending a variety of exhibitions, art workshops, and other resources both at home and abroad, this study investigates the traditional techniques, procedures, and materials utilised in Tibetan Buddhist painting. The examination of Tibetan painting's technical aspects is mostly based on the general use of materials, as well as the manner and sequence in which they are applied, which applies to the majority of types of mural paintings in Tibet, but which are less widely recognised in the West. This paper tries to illustrate a diverse and rather complicated range of Tibetan Buddhist art approaches and materials.Finally, the author hopes that it provides more evidence of the potential influence of Tibet's traditional artistic wealth on contemporary artists working in relation to this culture.
