Kerala Mural Painting is celebrated for its radiant and natural color palette. Traditionally, the paints are derived from natural sources: mineral pigments, plant-based hues, and sometimes even precious stones ground into fine powders. Acrylic paints, with their vibrant hues and quicker drying times, allow artists to capture the essence of traditional murals with modern ease. These paints meld the age-old aesthetic with present-day practicality, offering longevity, fade-resistance, and a broader palette. While purists may favor the classic methods, acrylics provide a bridge for this ancient art form to resonate with and thrive in the modern era.
