We know that plastering walls and painting them white is one of the preliminaries of wall-painting. Abhilaṣitārthacintāmaṇi (Cit. laks. p. 11-12) gives a fine surface as essential for a good picture and requires a smooth wall to be carefully white-washed without a scratch or blot. Three coatings of white mud and vajralepa account for this smoothness of surface.
