Commissioning or purchasing a thangka painting or drawing
by Carmen Mensink

Thangka Commissions
Carmen can make you a thangka drawing or painting on commission. This will be done in close consultation with you and includes the special dedications & blessings on the back, making it a very personal artwork.
Traditionally, by commissioning a thangka, you will ‘bring the Buddha alive‘ which, according to Tibetan-Buddhism, brings on very positive karma and stabilizes your connection with the Buddha and the path to enlightenment, in this life and in future lives.
Each piece is unique and drawn or painted in great detail, therefore even a small thangka drawing can take many days when working 8hrs a day on it.
A thangka painting can easily take up to a month of fulltime work.
