LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS

TIBETAN LANDSCAPES ELEMENTS
This immersive course is designed by Master Locho, Dr. Sarika, and a skilled technical team at the Centre for Living Buddhist Art. Learn the sacred art of inking—an essential part of Thangka painting that brings life and depth to landscape elements. Through mindful brushwork and fluid movement, discover the delicate balance between mind, ink, and water. With patience and practice, inking becomes a deeply meditative process, where your hand becomes your finest palette.
