Colors: Pigments are grounded by hand and mixed with water and gum. The colors used in Phad painting are:-

color.
5.
Black – It is made either by burning coconut shells or by collecting
lampblack from burning edible oil. It is used to outline the details of
all figures. After the cloth is ready and the light yellow pigment is
pre-phaded, the painter sketches the entire program. This is a called
making a mapor giving an out line during the sketching process, the total program is defined. Next, the
successive application of colors begins. Each color is applied one at a
time directly from its bowl to all the places where it occurs
throughout the painting. Coloring starts with filling in faces. When applying this saffron color, the artist carefully leaves a
place for eyes and maintains proper body proportions. Yellow,
green, brown, and red are applied one after the other. By applying the
lighter colors first, and using. increasingly darker colors with each
application, the artist progressively read just the boundaries between
other colors and the background. In this way, the form of the figures
is perfected. Shipping & handling: To
