These caste origins seem to be important because while the distinctive ancient internal wall painting traditions of the Brahmins and Kayastha were then transferred to painting on paper, the trajectories of the two traditions have until recently diverged quite dramatically.
Among the Kayastha painters there seemed to be less cross-overs, though we did see several paintings that made use of the traditional Dusadh gobar cow dung wash as a base (Munjal Devi, Bandna Kanak) on otherwise classic "line" paintings.
In effect, it appears that while the Brahmin and Dusadh paintings are beginning to merge, the Kayastha painters are largely staying within their own techniques and style, but pressing it into service for very new kinds of images and topics.
