Here is how we start. 🍃 ## Photos and videos - [Video: Precision is key to beautiful mehndi.

I focus heavily on cone pressure control—the most common struggle for beginners. If you can't control the flow, your lines will blob or break. We practice this until your hand feels steady, using paper grids to perfect your stroke before we ever move to skin. ### Why We Start on Paper You will see me practicing figures like Lord Ganesha on paper, not skin. This is the most crucial part of building your foundation. It allows you to focus purely on the anatomy of the design—the shading, the fine lines, and the proportion—without the added pressure of working on a real person. ### What You Will Learn * **Cone Control:** Learning to hold the cone for hours without cramping or straining your fingers. * **The Basics:** Mastering straight lines, spirals, humps, and net (jaali) patterns. These are the building blocks of every single design, from Arabic to full bridal. * **Symmetry:** Getting your left and right hands to match is what makes a design look professional. ### My Teaching Approach I keep my batch sizes small (10-15 students) because I need to correct your posture and pressure manually. Whether you join my in-person workshop in Kota or Bangalore, or my online sessions, the feedback is consistent. You send me your practice photos, and I review them to ensure you are progressing correctly. ### Moving From Basics to Bridal Once you have the fundamentals down, we transition into creating figures. We start with simple motifs and eventually work our way up to complex bridal scenes like Baraat processions and portraits. If you want to become a certified mehndi artist, this foundation is exactly where you start. ## About Heena Mehndi I’m Heena, and I’ve been teaching students to hold a mehndi cone for over 13 years.
