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. ## About Soojata Arora Hi, I am Soojata. I have spent over 25 years letting colors speak for me, and I would love to share that peace with you.
