Lines are painted with an iron tool, and the thickness of the line depends on the thickness of the tool, that is curved shape. Wood tools are used to paint surfaces. The most used colors are black, brown and ochre. The colour of the Korhogo traditional tapestries is black, and recently the colours brown and ochre have been added. They use to represent animals, and moments of the Senoufo initiation rites.
Designs are schematic and flat.
They just represent the main lines, without details. The outlines are thick, surrounding the whole figure. Light is not taken into consideration.
