How It's Made

Understanding the production process helps you appreciate the craftsmanship and communicate the product story to your customers.

Step 1: Consultation — share your vision, reference images, size requirements, and budget. Step 2: We match you with the ideal artist based on style, specialization, and availability. Step 3: The artist creates a pencil sketch for your approval. Step 4: Painting begins with regular progress photographs (typically weekly). Step 5: Near completion, we share detailed close-up photographs for any final adjustment requests. Step 6: Finishing — gold work, varnishing, and mounting. Step 7: Final photographs, your approval, and shipping.

Custom Commission Thangka — Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose my artist?
Yes. We can share portfolios of available master painters so you can select the artist whose style resonates with your vision. Some of our painters specialize in certain subjects — mandala specialists, deity figure specialists, landscape specialists. We will recommend the best match based on your requirements.
What if I am not satisfied with the finished painting?
Our progressive approval process (sketch approval, progress photos, near-completion review) minimizes this risk. If minor adjustments are needed at completion, the artist will make them at no extra cost. For significant changes that require repainting, we will discuss options transparently. In our experience, the multi-stage approval process results in client satisfaction over 98% of the time.
Can you reproduce a specific thangka I have seen?
Yes, our artists can paint faithful reproductions of historical or contemporary thangkas from reference photographs. The reproduction will follow the same iconometric rules and pigment techniques as the original. Please note that exact color matching to a photograph depends on the quality of the reference image. We recommend providing the highest resolution image possible.
