Description
Back cover: This study is the first detailed description of the techniques and principles of the sacred art of Tibetan scroll painting and is the distillation of the authors' research carried out over a period of ten years, during which they made five journeys to Nepal and India and learned from some 20 traditional painters...
Not only does this book document an ancient and in some ways endangered tradition, but it can also serve as a useful guide for would-be practitioners of the art. This revised edition includes an appendix of guidelines for thangka painting using modern techniques and commercially available materials.
