Mandala Art

 The word mandala comes from sanskrit language which literally means "circle" it is a geometric configuration of symbols in various spiritual tradition. The key is to take it slowly, drawing one shape at a time and going around the whole circle drawing that one shape in the right place.  I will upload a step by step picture of how mandala is done soon...

Tulips

Tulips are spring blooming flowers. they are really beautiful and are available in nearly every colour of the rainbow, with some varieties having in multiple tones. This is a pen art of tulips that I found in pinterest and tried to draw on my own. I used black sketch pen,crayon and Artline 0.4mm micron pen to complete this.

Kathakali

Kathakali is a major form of classical Indian dance. it is basically a "story play" genre of art,but one distinguished by the elaborately colourful makeup, costumes and face masks that the traditionally male actor dancers wear. This is as a doodle work in kathakali mask.

painting on bamboo

These are Bamboo and its natural green shades are magic of nature. With the help of the green and yellow shade background it is a nice idea to work a little on its body. Acrylic colours were used to decorate this. Bamboo should be washed first before starting the painting. After the paint is dried  a coat of varnish would give it an extra shine, finishing and durability.

Bottle Art

  These are some bottles painted using acrylic colours. It hardly took approximately 2 hours to complete one bottle.  Glass bottles were soaked in lukewarm water for 10-15min so that it becomes easy to peel off the label neatly.  These bottles were used to decorate my home and gift to my friends. More decorated bottles would be uploaded soon. #workgoingon...😅

silk thread bangles

These are some accessories made using silk thread. I learned this work from my mother. It is made by winding silk thread on bangles, hairbands, etc. in various designs matching various dress colour and designs.  It takes 20-30mins to finish a set of bangles. We can make earrings, bracelets, bangles, necklace and hairbands and further decorated with stones, beads, mirrors etc. It is a good way of recycling old plastic bangles, hairbands, etc. More posts of such work would be uploaded soon...

pencil colouring - tribal woman

This pencil colour painting was adopted from the dot art I saw on Internet. It depicts the life of tribal women. The various contrasting colours and simple designs of clothes and ornaments against her dark skin in a sunny background show how they keep themselves happy in spite of their poverty. Black pen was used instead of black pencil colour to give it a perfect look.

pen art goddess

This art was created using black ballpoint pen. It took a lot of time to complete because of the small circles, which is for highlighting the beauty of her ornaments. The design has been adopted from an old   mural painting from Kerala. The original work used various plant based colour dyes, mainly red and orange shades. However, I used only a black pen to complete this picture.
