The earliest surviving examples of miniature painting in Orissa appear to belong to the th century A.D.

Some good examples of the paintings of this period are a court scene and four illustrated leaves of a manuscript of the Gita Govinda

In Orissa, palm-leaf continued to be used even upto the 19th century.
-
The outline drawing was rendered with a stylus on the palm-leaf and then charcoal or ink was rubbed on the drawing.
-
A few colours were sparingly used to fill in the designs.
-
The technique of painting on paper was, however, different and was like the one used in other schools of painting.
-
The early manuscripts display neatness in drawing.
-
Later on in the 18th century, the line becomes bold and a little crude but the style in general is very decorative and ornamental.
