Tibetan Fresco and Tangka Picutres

Paint for murals is opaque mineral paint with ox bile to keep it fresh and enduring.

Fresco and thangka are two main popular art forms of Tibetan painting, especially principal art forms in monasteries. Prosperity was brought into the art of fresco and thangka as the Buddhism entered Tibet area. As recorded, fresco first appeared in a palace of Tibet built over two thousand years and Tibetan tangka has taken over one and a half centuries to reach its current perfection.
