INDIAN MINIATURE ART PAINTING – Nature painting Style

DESCRIPTION: This beautiful Indian painting of Nature painting style, depicts-
In this painting Anatomy: - Apatosaurus/Brontosaurus was one of the largest land animals that ever existed. The dinosaur Brontosaurus is now called Apatosaurus. This enormous plant-eater measured about 70-90 feet (21-27 m) long and about 15 feet (4.6 m) tall at the hips. It weighed roughly 33-38 tons (30-35 tonnes). Its head was less than 2 feet long; it had a long skull and a very tiny brain. This plant-eater had a long neck (with 15 vertebrae), a long whip-like tail (about 50 ft = 15 m long), a hollow backbone, peg-like teeth in the front of the jaws, and four massive, column-like legs. Its hind legs were larger than the front legs.

Apatosaurus could have held its head at most 17 feet (5.4 m) off the ground. Apatosaurus' nostrils were located on the top of its head. Since Apatosaurus fossils have been found far from any water-dwelling fossils, it is now believed that Apatosaurus spent most of its time on land, far from large bodies of water or swamps.

Diet: - This huge, extremely heavy reptile was an herbivore (it ate only plants, like conifers, other tree leaves and ferns). It must have eaten a tremendous amount of plant material each day to sustain itself. Apatosaurus must have spent almost all of its time grazing. Apatosaurus swallowed leaves and other vegetation whole, without chewing them, and had gastroliths (stomach stones) in its stomach to help digest this tough plant material. Secondary food sources may have included gingkos, seed ferns, cycads, bennettitaleans, ferns, club mosses, and horsetails.

Movement: - Apatosaurus moved very slowly on four legs (as determined from fossilized tracks and its leg length and estimated mass). Paleontologists theorize that Apatosaurus may have used its tail as a third leg in order to graze very tall vegetation.

Intelligence: - It used to be thought that the sauropods (like Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus) and Stegosaurus had a second brain. Paleontologists now think that what they thought was a second brain was just an enlargement in the spinal cord in the hip area.

When Apatosaurus Lived: - Apatosaurus lived during the late Jurassic Period, about 157-146 million years ago. There was a minor mass extinction toward the end of the Jurassic period. No one knows what caused this extinction.

Fossils and the Name: - Many fossils of Apatosaurus have been found in Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming, in the USA. Apatosaurus was named in 1877 by US paleontologist Othniel C. Marsh. It was called Apatosaurus, which means "deceptive lizard," because its fossils were so similar to those of other sauropods. The first relatively complete Apatosaurus fossil was found in Colorado, USA.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
COLORS: These vibrant colors used in Indian Painting are natural earth color. Stone colors are just like the water colors made from stones. The artists themselves prepare these to make the gorgeous Indian painting. The raw materials include for example, vegetables and malachite (for green), fruits, mustard oil (for black), soil (for yellow), lime (for white), indigo and lapis lazuli (for blue). In olden days, eggs, gold powder, silver foil, was also used. Burnt wood was used for making the initial sketches. This is a unique method of preparation of colors has been passed down from generations, since hundreds of years ago, when it was discovered. That’s why Indian painting is having prestige in the field of Arts.

PURE GOLD: To make Indian painting precious, we are using 24 carat pure gold at ornaments and dresses in painting, as it was really used by Royal persons in olden days. It is applied with the help of the brush as a color. This unique Indian method to convert gold in to liquid form has been passed down from generations, since hundreds of years ago. So the Indian painting is really precious.

BRUSHES: These special brushes are made from the hair of the tails of squirrels and kittens, hair from the inner ears of sheep. To do miniature work on Indian painting, they also use a very special single hairbrush. This unique Indian painting method of preparation of brushes has been passed down from generations, since hundreds of years ago, when it was discovered. Therefore the Indian painting is having such stunning miniature artwork.

TIME REQUIRED: It all depends on the art work and sizes to be done. Normally it takes 10 to 15 days to make such type Indian painting of miniature artworks. Many times for special & detailed artwork, the time taken extends up to 1 month to 6 months. So, we can’t predict the exact time to make such attractive Indian Painting.

LIQUID IS HARMFUL: It is a harmful situation for water color paintings because the colors used in these paintings can easily dilute in water. It means any washing activity is injurious for artwork. So, you have to save Indian painting from water or any liquid.
If all of sudden some water drop, then you are suggested to with out folding, squeezing or disturbing (means in normal position), put in direct sun light for heating purpose and after drying, bring it back in to shade. For your kind information water can not damage oil paintings.
A simple solution to extend life of your Indian painting is to do framing. We can easily find 300 to 400 years old Indian painting in very good conditions.
