Consider the following statements about Ajanta paintings: 1. The surface of the rock was coated with clay mixed with rice husk and gum and a coat of lime was applied over this. 2. The outline drawing was done first on the lime coating and colours were added subsequently. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

The Ajanta cave paintings were created using a fresco-secco technique. First, the rough rock surface was coated with a layer of clay mixed with rice husk and natural gum to give an even base. Over this layer, a thin coat of lime plaster was applied to provide a smooth, white painting surface. The artists then drew the outline of figures on the dried lime coating and subsequently filled in the colours using natural mineral pigments. Both statements 1 and 2 correctly describe the Ajanta painting technique.
