In Bagan, Gubyaukgyi Temple near the village of Wetkyi-inn is
famous for its interior murals – dating back to the 13th Century
that describes stories of the previous lives of the Buddha. The
artists of Bagan discovered the sand painting technique and
above murals are selling as sand painting.
The technique starts by sketching designs that copy the temple's
murals on tetron cloth. After the drawings are made, acrylic
glue is put onto the cloth. Then sand is sprinkled through a
sieve onto the cloth but within the lines of the sketches. After
the glue is dried and sand is set in place, the final step is to
paint over the sand using vivid colors that match the Bagan
artistic.
Sand paintings required great skill in using a stylus to make
the sketches and range in size from two square feet up to the
size of a normal floor mat. The biggest paintings take about
three days to complete. These were popular only in Bagan because
they replicated murals in local temples and matched the regions
artistic. Sand paintings are sold to local tourists for about K
5000 and US$ 10 to US$ 15 for foreigners.
