Today i'll start with something different and very exciting. Sand Emboss Painting. This is a very simple and beautiful art.
All u need to do is follow the procedure of Emboss painting, but after the design gets embossed we need to add sand on the design.
Will explain you in detail how is this done.
Materials Required
*Use the materials needed for emboss painting for the base design.*
1. Sand-various colours
2. A good design
3. Trace paper
4. Fevicol
5. Water Colours
6. Varnish
First trace the design on the black velvet cloth. Apply emboss solution as said in the emboss painting.
Apply fevicol to the design on the area that needs the same colour, sprinkle the coloured sand on it. Leave it for a minute and then reverse it on a paper, so that the excess sand will be removed. The sand sticks only on the area where fevicol is applied.
In the same way apply fevicol and sand on the whole picture.
You can even use water colours to give shades for the design or if the sand colour looks dull.
Giving water colours coat makes the painting look bright and lively.
Give it a coat of varnish after the whole painting gets dry.

Nib Painting as the name itself using nibs. There are three types of Nib used for Nib painting.
1. Rounded tip to do circle designs
2. Long tip to do lines
3. Short pointed tip to draw small sharp lines.
Other Materials:
1. Design - you wish to paint
2. Felt Cloth
3. Hard board
4. Oil paint
5. Tracing Paper
6. Pencil Carbon
7. Glue
You will also get Nib painting kit which has all the materials you need.
Firstly stick the felt on the hard board using glue. Then use white carbon paper to trace the design on the felt. Apply paint on the design as required.
Make sure you always start painting from top so that your hand can be moved easily downwards. Also make sure hand should be moved evenly for the real look.
You should decide on the color scheme. Usually floral designs and scenery go well with Nib painting. Select the shades as per the design and if you mix two colors to get the double shade combination it will look really good.
You can also take the paint on the nib and press it against the surface to create the design.
If a round design is required use the nib with a round tip. Wherever you need small sharp lines you can use a short pointed-tip nib. Long tip nib is used to draw the lines.
It may take 2-3 days or more to finish off with a good design.
The design will dry off very slowly. It might take ten days or more as consistency of the paint is very thick.
The felt can get dirty but can be easily removed with thick dry brush or a tooth brush.
This painting looks really beautiful after it is completed, but need lot of patience as it is time consuming.
Floral designs are very common among Nib Painting.

Rim Zim means "Sparkle" that doesn't mean using sparkle colours. Here is how u can can make Rim Zim painting in just few simple steps.

How to make Rim Zim painting?
Firstly trace the design on the cloth using black marker pen (thin marker).
Apply fevicol all over the white cloth and spread the sparkle powder over the fevicol and allow it to dry completely.
(Coloured sparkle powder should not be used as the design will not be visible so it should be white multi colour powder.)
After the whole thing gets dry you can apply glass paint colour on the design as per your requirement.
As the design is you can decorate it with beads and sequences.
Why to use only glass paint colour ?
This is because if we use fabric colour, water colour or any other colour the sparkle effect wont be much.
Glass paint colour is transparent colour which give the sparkle effect of the painting.

Warli painting, one of the most beautiful forms of Indian folk paintings. It generated from a small tribe called "Warla" living in Maharashtra, India. These paintings are done on mud walls. These tribal paintings shows expressions of folk life, customs and beliefs. Each painting is a scene that contains various elements of nature including people, animals, trees, hills, birds, squirrels, monkeys, snakes and other animals are frequently used. These paintings do not use straight lines and instead the lines are made by using dots and dashes and geometric shapes basically triangles for making human and animal figures.
Warli paint needs only one colour i.e. WHITE. These folk artists use rice flour paste as their medium for white colour.
U can easily get mud for making Warli paint and use handmade paper for better effect of painting. Most important part u need to know the Warli traditions and cultures as the painting shows all those.
