- The rock walls were first plastered with a thick coating of clay, mixed with straw, gypsum, and other materials. Then a thin layer of lime plaster was applied to produce a glazed surface for making the painting more effective.
- On the glazed surface of the wall, the outlines of the figures were drawn first. The artists used water colours.
