Thangka art on display in Lhasa
0 
50 Thangka masters from all over Tibet Autonomous Region have gathered in the Region's capital of Lhasa for the first Thangka Art Expo.
Besides displaying beautiful work, the masters are required to paint on the spot and demonstrate their skill.
The Thangka Art Expo is being held inside the Museum of Tibet. Participating artists, who range in age from 19 to 60, will demonstrate their skills during the event. Their qualifications will be decided after the exhibition.
On specially treated Thangka canvases, painters first draw out a silhouette using charcoal before applying colors.
Tsering Chudrag, who has been in the trade for over ten years, is attending the competition for the first time. Having painted this particular Thangka for several months, Tsering hopes he could get a good score this time.
