Tibetan Paintings

Tibetan paintings mainly include Tibetan Buddhism’s Thangka Painting, fresco and construction decoration paintings etc. Thangka painting and fresco have pre-defined format and decorum in accordance with classic regulations and cannot be drawn at painters’ pleasure. Both of them have rich composition, bright but calm color and lively and fluent lines. Some delicate strokes are outlined with golden lines to produce a feeling of grace and nobleness. All construction decoration paintings share the same motif of Auspicious Pattern with Eight symbols. These are Holy Umbrella, Champion Pillar, Golden Dharma Wheel, Pisces, Aquarius, White Trumpet Shell, Auspicious Flower and Auspicious Bond. Beside the motif, there are some other patterns as well.
