Continuing from my previous post -
Majority of Thangka painters follow well established and traditional scientific arrangement of color, content and proportion. These are based on a pre-defined set of rules, with slight variations based on the region. A conservator takes care of the paintings. The details of the artist (signature, etc.) are not mentioned in the paintings; their importance is displayed in a vast variety of pictorial information. Emotions are portrayed in different colors (for example, white represents peacefulness and compassion). The same picture portrayed in a different color shows a different mood.
