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.
This picture below shows all forms of warli painting, u can see "Tapra dance" in this painting. This is a traditional festival dance among the tribes.
Glass painting is one such unique painting which is laid down on the back of the glass, and painted from the reverse.
Glass painting basically involves painting on tinted (stain) glass.
To make Glass painting all u need is :

2. Black tube colour (for out line design)
3. Trace paper with design of your choice
4. Glass paint colours
5. Brush (Thin brush #1-2)

Now put the trace paper on a flat surface keeping back side of glass in front. Make outline of the design using black tube colour.
Allow it to dry for 24 hrs then apply glass paint colour as per requirement. Make sure there wont be any bubbles on the glass while applying the colour as it doesn't give good effect on the glass paint.
While applying colour if there are bubbles on the glass use brush to remove it by spreading the colour with water.

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.

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..
