ModernTanjore by Raksha Traditional Tanjore paintings with a modern twist. Using mandala art to create colourful and unique paintings.

All my paintings are for sale, check out my Etsy shop or PM for information. Thanjavur painting is a classical South Indian painting style, which was inaugurated from the town of Thanjavur/ Tanjore in Tamil Nadu, India. These paintings are characterized by rich colours, glittering gold foils and semi precious stones. I decided to use the traditional technique of Tanjore paintings while applying a more modern pattern to it - A Mandala. www.etsy.com/ca/shop/ModernTanjore

Here's the twist , I changed the colour from the previous post since I got lots of feedback that the colours looked almost identical. And to be honest I wasn't fond of it either!

So here we are with the green instead of peach. was happy to include greens in this earthy tone painting. ( Yes I know it looks more blue than green but trust me it's green 😅)

What do you guys think? Comment below!!

While I have made slow progress on the Yin yang mandala, I'm happy that I'm still making progress.

This year has been very unique, thanks to COVID with all the ups and downs and weird twists. However I'm appreciative of the time I get to spend on my mandalas !

Also I have to give a special shout to - for being so considerate and empathetic to all the delays in finishing up this project! Just another short file and this set should be done and wrapped up 🤞.

Adding some earthy tones to the yin yang mandala! These colours are definitely new to the little experiment but I kind of like the appeal of it.

While staying at home as given me some extra time, I have not felt that burst of energy to get through my paintings or start new projects. However I'm working on that and I hope to sit and channelise my energy into creative time and wrap up current projects.

Definitely a new hobby!

Considering how long it has been since I prepared boards made my version of makku , I feel super rusty. So this year ( considering the quarantine ) , I'm going to spend my evenings painting and using this as a de- stresser!

Hope you all are staying safe and sane during this weird crazy times 🙏
