Methods and Materials This study is the first detailed description of the techniques and principles of the sacred art of Tibetan scroll painting and is the distillation of the authors research carried out over a period of ten years. A whole chapter is devoted to a detailed description of the pigments, and another to how they are mixed and applied. The theories underlying the painting method are elaborated, and different chapters introduce the reader to the basic principles of composition, colour and figural proportion.
