MAKING PICHWAI PAINTING
Originally Pichwai was painted on stretched cotton fabric. The artist would then sketch the art on that stretched cloth. Then they would decorate it and create beautiful images. Then they would paint the images with completely natural colors, paints, and even natural brushes. The borders are built up with crystals and other decorative elements.
