“The best way to understand a painting is by looking at it.”

In earlier days, spreading art was difficult. It was only possible through exhibitions or by visiting the local art markets or galleries. But not the trend has changed a lot. There are many online web portals available who are dealing in paintings. These online portals have made the life of sellers and buyers very easy.

Artists from all over the world can show their piece of art to others without even owing a passport or visa of the other country. There are many art galleries in India which host Indian paintings and other kinds of work of art.

The online art galleries also inform us about the prices and sizes of the art work shown over the internet. So these art galleries also advertise the art works online. Many art gallery owners present art shows online in order to introduce different artists from all over the world. This is a very essential part as in earlier days there was no place for new artists to show their talent.

An art gallery is the best place to find all kinds of art; it could be modern art, contemporary art, Mughal art and so on.

So now it is very easy to look for a painting you like on the Indian art gallery online, a place where you favorite paintings are in front of you.

Beautiful World of Colors

   Posted by: admin    in Buy Indian art paintings online

Life would have been so meaningless without colors. Every color has its own way to express nature. Painters from all over India have presented art in a beautiful way. Every time the colors of different paintings attract a viewer, a painter comes into notice. India is a country where art is given a high importance. There are different kinds of awards and recognitions given to them. People have tried to show emotions in art which actually have attracted people from different countries. There are also paintings on religion like patachitra, madhubani, kalighat and so on. Religious paintings also include pictures of goddesses and gods like Durga, Saraswati, Lakshmi, Rama, Krishna and Shiva and so on.

Paintings have a different meaning. At times, sitting and watching at the beautiful art work is like meditation.

Artists are very much encouraged in India. They get the motivation from people to draw better paintings. Every time they pick up the painting brush, they try to create a painting which will be remembered in the history.

Now, here are a few types of Indian Paintings:

  • Mughal Paintings: Mughal painting is a wonderful blend of Indian, Islamic and Persian style. These days Mughal painting can only be found in the books. In earlier days, the Mughal kings used to tell the artists to draw their winning moments or their marriage and so on. So most of the paintings that we see in this are reality.
  • Eastern India Paintings: These paintings are basically depicted on the life of, Buddha. Many disciples of Buddha tried to draw the life of Buddha on leaves. But this painting was not only limited to Buddha, it also had the paintings of lord Krishna. Later, these paintings were used to make the books interesting.
  • Tanjore Paintings: The name Tanjore came from a town name in Tamil Nadu, ‘Tanjore’. This art is very ancient and it began in the era of the Chola Rulers. Chola dynasty has always encouraged literature and art. The main themes of these wonderful paintings were mostly from the hindu mythology. These days the paintings are mostly used in religious festivals.
  • Madhubani Paintings: it is also known as the Mithila Art. This painting comes in from a very small town in Bihar named, Mithila. The most important part of this painting is that no space is left blank on the canvas. The empty spaces are usually covered with animals, birds, flowers, etc. The colors used in the paintings are basically natural, extracted from leaves and flowers.

These paintings have brought different colors in different times. Even today, people appreciate the piece of wonderful work done in the ancient eras. To Buy Indian Art Paintings Online log on to indianartideas.com.

So I repeat again, “Life would have been so meaningless without colors.”
