Kamasan Painting

Kamasan is Bali's classical painting tradition, shaped over centuries in the royal courts of Klungkung. Its colours come from a small, deliberate palette of natural earth pigments, and each one is tied to Balinese spiritual philosophy rather than chosen for looks alone.

Guided by Khatha Studio, work on a pre-drawn figure on blacu (unbleached cotton cloth), learn nyawi, the inking process, and bring your piece to life with colours inspired by classic Kamasan palettes.
