Gold is popularly used in paintings both in North and South India.
Nathdwara paintings have their origins from Nathdwara, a place in the state of Rajasthan.
This art form celebrates the glory of Lord Srinathji and most of their painitings are dedicated to Lord Vishnu and his various avatars.
However, Nathdwara paintings have begun to incorporate various other Indian gods and godesses as well.
A soft wood is cast into the design required.
POP is used for design patterns for the jewellery, crown, mount, etc;
Natural Fluorescent colors are used for a good and healthy balance of colors.
Jewellery stones are used for further decorations.
22K gold foil is used for the gold designs.
Tanjore paintings and Mysore gold paintings are a more popular gold art to the south.
Tanjore paintings are comparitively simpler.
These provide a lot more scope for abstraction and design.
However, a 24K gold foils mounted onto a paper cut are used.
Embossing patterns are similar to that of Nathdwara, but Tanjore paintings use traditionally only red, green and white gem stones.
