HISTORY OF INDIAN ART
 
Method or Techniques of Rajput and Mughal paintings
 
In Rajput painting initially the primary sketch was made in light colour with a fine brush on a brown handmade paper. In the next step, the lines were given prominence by filling up the body of the painting with white paint. Then the outline of the painting was depicted in brown or black colour and after applying paint on the background, the figures were painted. The paint was applied flat without any shading. Afterwards the finishing touch was applied on the outline.
 
Painting of the Mughal and Rajput style were painted with water colour in the tempera method.
The different stages of the painting are known as;
 
1. Making the ground or canvas – ‘Tipai’ or first sketch.
 
2. Final drawing (before applying paint – ‘Sachchi Tipai’ (final correction of the drawing is made) After the painting ‘Hashiya’(margin) or ‘Pati’ was done by ‘Naksnabis’ (the apprentice). The mounting or ‘Wasli’ was done by ‘Wasilgar’. Afterwards the writing above or behind the painting was done by ‘Khasnabis’. The ink for writing was made from the juice of ‘Amla’(myrobalan-used in ink) and ‘Haritaki’(orpiment) or the carbon deposit of castor oil lamp dissolved in gum. Burnt stick of ‘Arhar’ (stick of pigeon pea) or charcoal stick was used for initial drawing.
 
Paint brush was made from fur of the ears of calf, goat, donkey or squirrel tail. The fur was inserted into base of feather and stuck with lac (sealing wax).Colours was applied with small strokes and after that got dried, fresh coat of paint was applied. Finally, the painting was decorated with golden colour. Lastly polished glass or stone slab was placed on the finished artwork and gloss was brought to the painting by rubbing with ‘Aqiq’ (polished stone slab) on the back side of the painting. To make the painting hard and long lasting, a coat of Lac varnish was applied on the back.
 
To increase the opaqueness of the colour, white is added to the paint. By adding gum to granular colour and applying on the painting to strengthen or put temper on the painting gave the name ‘Tempera’ to the process.'
 
Paper has been used to paint pictures in this country from 14th century onwards. Though there are instances of paintings on cloth in - Mughal and Rajput paintings but soon paper replaced all other
materials. For Mughal painting, special factory for paper making was established in Sialkot in Punjab. ln course of time factories were established in place like Daulatabad and Nizamabad.This paper was dipped in a solvent of Alum and in a slightly damp Condition. ‘Aqiq’ (polished stone) or ivory was used to polish the paper. The thin layers of paper were glued together to make it hard like pasteboard. This was known ‘Wasli'.
