Hey friends, its Diwali time. I hope everyone is busy with cleaning and shopping and preparing some mouth watering dishes.
The same with me as i was busy making some beautiful looking diya for this Diwali.
I made this little two diyas this time.
I got some plain diya which is easily available in market and coloured it using acrylic colours and some tube colours.
The colour combination you use matters when you paint a diya. You can do anything to a plain diya. If you are not good with colours and painting then try out using some shells, mirrors, lace etc.
I'm sure everyone liked the diyas i made last year. Look out for my last year's work on Diya Decoration for Diwali.
Look at the one i made now.
One more of my little creation on decorating Diya.

Painting on a banyan leaf is a different painting many of you might have heard of this. It will take a bit time to get the leaf into complete Net condition only with veins on them. I did soak at least 7 leaves and i got only 2 leaves properly out of it as some of them were in a bad condition.
How to make:
1. First of all you need some 2-3 banyan leaves and soak them in water for around 20 days.
2. After 20 days u can see the veins of leaves and other waste aside from the leaves.
3. Now wash the leave carefully in different water and remove all the waste from the leaves very carefully. Do it very slowly and carefully as there are chances of the leaves getting damaged.
4. After washing it and taking out properly you can see just the veins of leaves.
5. Now start painting your imagination on the leaves carefully using some 0-2 number brush.
6. The outcome of leaf painting is really beautiful.

Holi celebration begins with lighting up of bonfire on the Holi eve. One of the major festivals of India, Holi is celebrated with enthusiasm. This festival is celebrated with colours and water filled balloons.
In the same way our Warli tribals also celebrate Holi festival with colours on each other and lot of fun.

A Warli village has been presented in this painting with huts, trees, animals and people. Men and women are seen cooking food, milking a cow, drawing water from the well, and carrying earthen pots filled with water on their heads. Women rearing babies, farmers with crops and cows. Warli painting shows an inseperable bond between men and nature. Domestic animals like hens and cows other animals and birds are also seen in the pictorial space.
My earlier posts of Warli painting refers to the whole bonding of warli culture, their festivals and their dance forms.
Here I am back with something more on Warli painting. Today will show a Dance form of Warli painting.
In my earlier blog I have discussed about Tapra Dance and that dance shows the whole festive culture of Warli.
This painting is only on the Warli dance that they specially perform on all their occasions. The women tied their hair in one single knot and the men with the instruments. Most of the Warli paintings you see will have this Dance form in it as that adds the beauty to the Warli culture.
I'll come up with more of Warli culture paintings..

Yes again Stencil Art, but this time we'll learn Stencil painiting. Yes a bit different to earlier one (Stencil Making).
Materials:
*The same that is needed for stencil making*
1. Colours
2. Dry brush (Thick one)
In stencil painting the only difference is u should cut the stencil design in card paper instead of felt cloth. Once you are done with stencil cutting on card paper use any material u would like to paint, for eg: hard paper, felt cloth, cotton cloth, wall, glass etc.. Place the stencil design over the material and apply colour using dry brush on the surface of material (inside the stencil) or even otside the stencil design if you need some more difference in design.
Here is a sample design to show you how it looks.This is made by making a simple flower design and by following the above instructions.
Why only dry brush?
This is because if water is applied on the colour or brush there are chances the colour may spread around. So be careful to use only dry brush.
Now this is about normal brush when you need to paint inside the sencil, you can even try using diff materials for colouring the material with stencil.
Different tools you can try with:
1. Cotton (while using cotton just dip the cotton in the colour and dab it on the stencil the design will be on the material of its own)
2. Sponge
3. Toothbrush (spray it all over the stencil design)
Try this out using all these tools and see the results.
Here is a stencil painintg for you.
