About this collection
You do not need to be a pro or even know how to draw a straight line to join these sessions. In my studio, we use a bit of creative jugaad to handle the tricky parts, so you can focus entirely on the rhythm of the lines and the joy of the colors. Whether we are detailing a Madhubani peacock or dotting a Gond tree, the goal is for you to leave with a piece you are proud of and a little more sukoon than you arrived with.
Why Indian Folk Art?
There is something deeply grounding about traditional Indian art forms. It is not just about the final painting; it is about the slow process of connecting with history through every stroke.
What You Will Learn
- Madhubani (Mithila): We focus on those iconic double borders, floral motifs, and the geometry that gives this style its unique character.
- Gond Art: We dive into the world of storytelling through dots and dashes, learning how to build complex figures from simple, repetitive patterns.
- Warli Painting: We explore the classic geometric shapes—triangles, circles, and lines—that capture the simplicity of village life.
My Teaching Approach
I believe art is for everyone. My workshops are designed for complete beginners. I break down complex traditional patterns into manageable steps so you never feel overwhelmed.
- Online or In-Person: Whether you are joining me from home via video call or visiting my studio in Malviya Nagar, the focus remains on personal guidance.
- Flexible Surfaces: We work on a variety of mediums, from standard watercolor paper and canvas boards to tote bags, so your art is always functional.
- All Materials Provided: For in-person sessions, just bring yourself. For online workshops, I provide a clear checklist so you are fully prepared before we begin.
If you have been looking for a creative escape in Delhi, these sessions are a great way to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with your creative side. Let us create something beautiful together.
