This art form is defined by its rich use of color, creative designs, motifs, and a combination of classical and folk elements. Painters use natural colors that are vegetable and mineral colors. The brushes used by these "Chitrakaras" are also indigenous and are made from the hair of domestic animals. A bunch of hair tied to the end of a bamboo stick makes the brush.
