The Process of painting patachitra begins
with the preparation of canvas (pata). Processing of cotton canvas
starts from dipping of cotton in a solution of crushed imli seeds and
water for 4-5 days. The cloth is then taken out and sun dried. After
cotton is dry, a paste of chalk powder, imli and gum is applied on both
side of the layered cloth and it is sun dried. After drying, khaddar
stone is rubbed on the cloth several times for smoothening the canvas.
When canvas is smooth then chikana stone is rubbed for shinning the
cloth.
The materials used in ancient time to make this painting were vegetable,
earth and mineral sources. Black color out of lampblack; Yellow from
haritali stone and red from hingal stone, White from conch shell ; Green
from leaves like neem ; Brown from geru stone.
