Explanation:

The medium through which the Paitkar artists use to paint their scrolls is water-based colours derived from nature. The colour palette of Chitrakar’s (artists) consists of fewer colours. They collect only primary colours—Red, Yellow and Blue, from the nature. Human characters occupy most part of the painted space. These characters are present in profile and sometimes in semi profile. The eyes are elongated which reflects the characteristic of Indian painting style. The painted face came much later only in the mid-20th century. Spontaneous lines drawn by Paitka have an angularity, and anatomical details are not very defined.
