Kangra painting is the pictorial art of Kangra, named after the Kangra state, a former princely state of Himachal Pradesh, which patronized the art. It became prevalent with the fading of Basholi school of painting in mid-18th century,and soon produced such a magnitude in paintings both in content as well as volume, that the Pahari Painting school, came to be known as Kangra paintings.
Though the main centres of Kangra paintings are Guler, Basholi, Chamba, Nurpur, Bilaspur and Kangra. Later on this style also reached Mandi, Suket, Kullu, Arki, Nalagarh and Tehri Garhwal, and now are collectively known as Pahari Painting, covering the style that was patronized by Rajput rulers between the 17th and 19th centuries.
About the workshop
Miniature paintings require high skills and to understand them the right way require lot of patience and practice. Line work, or the first drawings made on paper for Kangra paintings is also the final drawing which during the coloring process would be repeated upon 3-4 times.
Hence, it is very important that these lines perfectly grab the postures, proportions and mood of the subject. This workshop, we lay focus to the line drawing and would understand it in detail starting right from handling of the brush and practicing strokes.
