Goddess Saraswathy - My First Mural Creation

Goddess Saraswathy - Seat of Learning
Acrylics, 19 * 26 inches

My first attempt at Kerala mural painting...Since puja/navratri strats today, I thought of posting this... a nice way to begin it:) Hope you all like it.
Goddess has been really lucky for me as I had mentioned in my previous post. I have got an order for the same and am currently working on it. Thank you, dear God! Thank you Saraswathy aunty! Thank you Anilettan!

    Thank you very much Rajesh, Saru, Kala, Sarmistha and KP...Your words inspire me:)

    @The mind,In Tanjore paintings there are both murals(wall paintings) and one done on canvas, glass, mica, wood etc. They are mostly religious in theme, divine in nature. Murals are done with traditional materials for colours like limestone, yellow oxide, tamarind twig etc. Hence the colours are limited as well - green, blue, red, yellow, white, black. The ones done on canvas and other materials are done with relief work ie using gold leaf, gems, stones etc. They are very expensive.

    What I have done here is Kerala Mural painting which is from a different school of art hence different in style but they are also religious in theme. Here, only five colours, panchavarna, is used - Red, blue, green, yellow, white and black.

    Hope this will help you understand the difference better (from my limited knowledge)

    Hope to see you more often:)
