Abstract: Abstract Typical Balinese paintings that have been inherited from the 17th century are Kamasan wayang paintings. It is said to be a Kamasan puppet (wayang) painting, because Kamasan is one of the names of the villages in Klungkung Regency, and the craftsmen of this wayang painting are only found in Kamasan Village, Klungkung. Various types of puppet character paintings have been painted on canvas. However, currently, Kamasan wayang paintings on canvas are no longer selling on the market. Painters do not dare to make paintings on canvas in large quantities and only make them when there is an order (preorder). Apart from that, consumers usually bring their own sizes to make wayang paintings on canvas, in other words, wayang paintings on canvas can be customized according to consumer needs. If you just wait for the consumer orders that are not clear when they will arrive, painters will experience a decrease in income. When a painter’s income decreases, it has a significant impact on the continuity of Balinese culture. Because painters are switching and looking for sources of income from other sectors, they are starting to abandon painting activities. This will cause the craft of Kamasan wayang painting to become extinct. Thus, the author’s work will explore alternative media for fine arts related to the implementation of the visual elements of classical Kamasan painting which does not use the standard basic material for painting, namely canvas, but instead uses cowhide as the object medium.
