A thangka is a sacred religious icon in the form of a cloth scroll painted with luminous pigment made from powdered minerals, ground gem-stones, plants, insects and other natural substances. The 12 outlines in this colouring book enable readers to explore these ancient Tibetan religious artefacts. J. Jamyang Singe is a leading thangka artist whose works have been widely exhibited and are in the collections of museums, galleries, monasteries and dharma centres. The introduction explains the design principles and the deities and symbolic objects that appear in these Buddhist picture stories.

"The Tibetan Art Coloring Book" is one of my favorites!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tibetan Art Coloring Book (Plastic Comb)
I am a teenager interested in Tibetan culture and the Tibetan Buddhist religion. I love to look at, color, and create my own thangkas (Tibetan paintings), which made this book a pleasure to work on! "The Tibetan Art Coloring Book" is one of two Tibetan art coloring books I have. Unlike the other one, this book comes with a coil on the top, so you can easily fold the book, and go from one picture to another! The paper is of perfect texture to use with colored pencils, being very smooth. I, infact, scanned some of the pictures I colored, and put them on my personal homepage!

An Incredible Gift,
By chico sweet "decro242" (San Diego) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tibetan Art Coloring Book (Plastic Comb)
This book makes an incredible gift. I, personally, can't wait to color in these beautiful Tibetan Drawings. I have always loved the art of Tibet and admired the meditation involved in producing it. I think it is a brilliant idea to make a book that allows all of us a chance to participate in this sacred tradition.

This review is from: The Tibetan Art Coloring Book (Plastic Comb)
The line drawings in this colouring book are so lovely that I was almost too intimidated to start colouring them in! Truly beautiful illustrations and I have enjoyed my time with them, and look forward to many more hours of colouring.....
