Ajanta Cave paintings. ... later based on the Ajanta experience give us an idea. For example, Vishnu-dharmottara (7th century) explains the process of preparing the base plaster and the finish coat, called 'vajralepa'.

Ajanta caves are not far ancient trade routes and attracted traders & pilgrims through whom the Ajanta art style diffused as far as China and Japan.
The paintings are in "dry fresco", painted on top of a dry plaster surface. Artists portrayed the costumes, ornaments, and styles of the court life of their times. The paintings were done in stages. They drew the outline in red ochre, then the colours & renewed the contours in brown, deep red or black.
A high degree of craftsmanship incorporating all the rules lay down by ancient Indian treaties on painting & aesthetics are evident. One cannot but notice the fluid, yet firm lines long sweeping brush strokes, outlining graceful contours subtle gradation of the same colour, highlighting nose, eyelids, lips & chin making the figures emerge from the flat wall surface.
Poses, hair styles, all kinds of ornaments & jewellery with bulky painting of 50 paired elephants bring out all perspective views and indicate skilled artisans
Animals, birds, trees, flowers, architecture are pictured with an eye to their beauty of form. Human emotions & character are depicted with great understanding & skill – indignation, greed, love & compassion.
The style of murals reveals a merging of two streams of art, Satavahana of Andhra Pradesh and Gupta Art of North India. This resulted in the classical style which had a far reaching influence on all painting of the country for centuries to come.
