About Tanjore Paintings
A Tanjore painting is more than just a visual delight — it’s a sacred art form rooted in devotion and craftsmanship.

About I Am An Artist India – How Our Artists Create Tanjore Paintings
Each Tanjore painting at I Am An Artist India begins with a sacred drawing — the artist outlines the deity with precision before applying multiple layers of chalk powder and gum paste for the relief effect. The intricate gold leaf work is then applied, followed by the addition of semi-precious stone detailing to create a luminous surface. Rich acrylic colours are layered to bring vibrancy and life to the divine figure.
Our artists follow both traditional and modern variations — from classic South Indian temple-inspired compositions to minimalist golden portraits suited for modern homes. Each painting is coated with protective varnish, signed, certified for authenticity, and packaged securely for worldwide delivery.
