This site is being developed into a Joomla (Content Management System) Site.

A Tibetan Online Art School has been my idea for many years, with Joomla
this now can be turned into reality. Tibetan Painting from beginning to end.

The first step of Tibetan thangka painting is drawing of the sacred geometry.
This is traditional Buddhist iconography according to ancient texts.
With a firm understanding of the drawing, then painting instruction can begin.

The course will also include making traditional canvas, brushes
mineral pigments and gold preparation in the traditional method.

All this can be accomplished using video, scanners, downloads,
internet phone, and Joomla.

I spent 10 years from 1966 studying this tantric art form
with various Tibetan Masters.

Since that time I have taught Tibetan sacred art, and worked on large art projects
in both Nepal and Tibet from 1969.

My experience covers more than a 40 years.
Throughout the years many people have asked me to teach
in many locations worldwide.
The web can now make this possible.

Ordering silk brocade borders, brushes and mineral and botanical pigments,
as well as other thangka supplies can be done here.

If you have an interest in learning traditional thangka painting, in the Central
or Eastern styles, please send me an email via the "send us a message" link below.

I currently live in Chiang Mai Thailand, where I commute to Tibet
for large scale art projects.
