The experience of visiting the art gallery

Hello,i am Emisha Ravani.Today I am writing this blog for the experience of visiting the art gallery which one organised for honouring of the artistic personality who is khodidas parmar by his students. He has contribute a lot to art of paintings. He has developed his own style in the field of paintings. Art gallery consisted such special paintings of ajanta Caves. It was interesting event for the people who are interested in the art specially in paintings. I saw that so many artistic souls were visiting that event and gaining knowledge about various styles and techniques of this field. 


When i visit this event i recall one thing when I was studying in higher secondary at that time in the year if 2018 I painted around 12 paintings of ellora Caves on white cloth and mad two idol of lord Buddha which was showing the example of the carvings of those Caves with the help of the art teacher. I would like to share here one picture of that event.


Mainly paintings are about showing the royalty of people, various stories of people, religious tales, various gods, some paintings are about the emotions of common people, some paintings are about women's life by this portrayed things we can get know that how those people were believing in various aspects of human life.The paintings in the Ajanta caves predominantly narrate the Jataka tales. These are Buddhist legends describing the previous births of the Buddha. These fables embed ancient morals and cultural lores that are also found in the fables and legends of Hindu and Jain texts. The Jataka tales are exemplified through the life example and sacrifices that the Buddha made in hundreds of his past incarnations, where he is depicted as having been reborn as an animal or human.
Here I'm sharing those paintings which are put at the gallery and the original paintings of caves.

This event was opening by one of special thing the guests were using the lamp or candles to see the paintings as 13 member in the traditions because at the alora and Ajanta Caves paintings getting lost their colours by the light so the tourist have to see the paintings by the lights Of lamp and candles. People of that time used natural colours to make this paintings and still we can see paintings after time passing a lot. 


What material paint used in Ajanta cave painting which is lasting so many years?
The cave paintings were created from 200 BC. 
The process begun with rough stone surfaces being coated with a thick coating of a paste made from clay, cow-dung, animal hair and vegetable fibre.Next, a finer layer of smooth white lime (Calcium oxide) was applied.
Before this was dry, the artists quickly traced the pictures using red cinnabar (Mercuric sulphide), which they then filled in with an slightly rubbery layer of terre-verte (iron-silicate+clay).The pigments, all derived from naturally occurring substances, which were water-soluble (kaolin chalk for white, lamp soot for black, glauconite for green, ochre for yellow and imported lapis lazuli for blue).The pigments were thickened with glue and added only after the terre verte layer was fully dry.


Here I'm sharing a video which has more information about Ajnta caves
