What to Paint

People at Çatalhöyük used to paint several types of scenes. These included: animals, hunters, geometric patterns and landscapes. Murals were often done in similar styles. Favorite colors of Çatalhöyük artists were red, black, and white. Small, dancer-like figures around large animals seem to be a popular scene. Some figures appear to be carrying weapons.
