I use exterior-grade emulsion and clear varnish because public walls see heavy traffic, sun, and rain. You will not find stencils or prints here; every Tarpa dancer and geometric pattern is painted by hand, keeping the traditional look and the unique imperfections that make this art real. ### Authentic Warli Storytelling When I take on a public or community project, the goal is to bring the wall to life. Warli isn't just about filling space with patterns. I use narrative scenes—village life, farming, or the Tree of Life—to create a visual rhythm that encourages people to stop and look. ### Built for the Outdoors Public spaces have different demands than a living room wall. - **Durability:** I use exterior emulsion paints like Asian Paints Apex or Ultima. These are weather-resistant and handle direct sunlight and Bengaluru's monsoon rain without fading. - **Preparation:** I clean and prime the surface thoroughly before the first drop of paint touches the wall. - **Finish:** A final coat of clear varnish ensures the art stays protected against dust and daily contact for years to come. ### The Process I don't use stencils. Every line you see is a freehand stroke. This means your wall will have the organic flow of traditional tribal art, not the robotic precision of a print. Whether it's a 10-foot school boundary or a café entrance, we start with a conversation about the story you want to tell, then I sketch and paint it onto the surface. ## About Sharan Ediga Art is my heart. I’m Sharan, and for me, painting isn't just about the canvas. Whether it’s a school corridor or a community wall, I want the art to feel like it belongs to the space. No stencils, just me and the wall.
