Traditional Thangka Drawing Experience at Songtsam Linka Lhasa

Learn the basics of traditional Thangka painting with a local teacher at Songtsam Linka Lhasa. Thangka are sacred Tibetan scroll paintings of Buddhas, deities and mandalas, made by exacting rules of proportion and built up in fine mineral pigments, an art passed down through master-apprentice lineages over centuries. In this guided session you'll be introduced to the iconography, line work and colours behind the form and try your own hand at the brush, gaining a closer appreciation of one of Tibet's most revered crafts.
