These paintings are made pain painstakingly in a remote village called 'Cheriyal' in Andhra Pradesh, India.
The Cheriyal Scrolls are drawn on hand made khadi cloth specially processed with applying a paste of tamarind seed along with a tree gum and white clay.
Three coats of the paste are applied, allowing a day in between for the paste to dry.
Once the scroll is ready, the artist draws the outline, using a squirrel haired brush, in a phased manner.
The colours used in the Cherial (Cheriyal) Scroll Painting follows a predetermined system. The striking red colour fills the background.
The colour of the face and skin is decided by the nature of the character, like blue and yellow are for Gods and Goddesses respectively. Brown or darker shades are for demons, while pink and skin tones are for humans.
In the past, natural dyes were used. White was obtained from grounded sea shells, black from lamp soot, yellow from turmeric, blue from indigo and the others from various vegetable dyes and grounded stones.
Today the natural dyes have largely been replaced by commercial organic water colours, which are mixed with tree gums, before being applied on the scroll.
The water coloured based Cheriyal Scrolls are said to last over 300 years, provided they don’t come in contact with water.
*Colors and dimensions may slightly differ from the pictures and description.
