Your art work is beautiful. Quite by chance I stumbled on this video and was struck by the very vibrant colours you have used In this regard, I found a similarity to the design motifs and colours which you have chosen to those of the mural art of Kerala. In most temples of North Malabar, whole stretches of temple walls and some palaces too , are covered with exquisite art work, which appear to be very similar to the Ajanta cave paintings of Maharashtra The artists of these mural paintings in times gone by , had made extensive use of natural vegetable and mineral pigments , predominantly 5 colours white sourced from lime, black from the soot of oil lamps; red from red laterite stone and yellow from yellow laterite stone all collected from.mountains and river beds. By using copper sulphate in brass vessels it produced a blue colour. When yellow colour was added to it, it turned green. These colours used with great precision have produced stunning works of mural art. However, the present crop of Kerala mural artists rely on acrylic for their mural paintings, as the ancient methods of extracting colours from natural sources was found to be time consuming and labour intensive. Equally spectacular ,is the use of colour in the traditional dance form of North Malabar called Theyyam They are performed in the dead of night in the precincts of temples. The pitch dark back ground, the flickering lamp light cast by the wicks of tall bronze floor lamps and the dervish like swirl of these dancers whose entire bodies are painted with red black and white colours creates a surreal effect and holds the audience in hypnotic thrall., throughout the- all -night performance . The same goes for a specialised form of floor art , done on certain auspicious occasions in temples, depicting writhing snakes, which are painstakingly drawn by hand using various vibrant colours . This art form is ..called Kalam ezuthu...a ritual art creation generally practised in North Malabar. I have given all this information in the hope that you might get inspiration from these traditional art forms which are vanishing into the mists of time and maybe use them in your unique art work. Thank you for your patience .

Is it not necessary to apply wood primer first , then draw n add colours

[@chandandubey9018]

No. Will address the need to prime or not in a future video for sure .
