Bildnummer: 55061737 Datum: 24.03.2011 Copyright: imago/Xinhua (110324) -- LHASA, March 24, 2011 (Xinhua) -- A bowl of yellow pigment is heated on an incense stove in a Thangka workshop on Barkhor North Street in Lhasa, capital of southwest China s Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), March 24, 2011. Although having studied for three years, 20-year-old Qoipei Sherab is still only capable of line drawing and color filling, the most basic skills of Thangka painting. Dianzin, who is also 20 years old, starts laying out the outlines of a painting as he start the apprenticeship two years earlier. Those two young men of Tibetan ethnic group are both apprentices of a Thangka workshop on the Barkhor North Street, working with another eight Thangka painters, including the boss Nyima Wangdui. Located on the prosperous Barkhor North Street with flourishing Thangka shops, the Tashi Tagye Thangka Art Gallery is small and not very eye-catching. But according to its boss Nyima, it was the earliest one on Barkhor North Street and has been there for 12 years, seeing all the changes of the street and the prosperity of Thangka art. At first my teacher and I worked in the Jokhang Temple for fresco remediation. Later as the work is finished, I opened this workshop. Nyima Wangdui introduced, at the early years only Tibetans dropped by, but in recent five years, more and more tourists came to buy Thankgas, including foreigners from Singapore and Britain. Nowadays, there are more Thangka shops, but with more businesses, we learnt a lot more. Now, the workshop sold roughly 70 to 80 pieces of Thangka paintings annually, most of which were orders in advance. As an art of devotion, commonly it takes several months or even a year to complete a fine Thankga painting. All the pigments are made of natural mineral materials to keep the color from fading. The gold color is even burnished with gold powders. All of those result in prices of Thangka, with the good ones priced at tens of thousands RMB. Thou
