Madhubani Painting

It was my Dad's retirement !! He completed 40 yrs in his job with flying colours so, we all decided to honour my mom n dad on achiving this milestone. On this occassion, as they'll be shifting in there new appartment, I made a Madhuban painting for my mom. 

Madhubani paiting is a traditional art style of India which is made using primary colours. The basic details are drawn with the help of black colour and a nib pen. And rest of the colours are filled in it with brush. 

 

  

Madhubani painting has fine details hence needs a lots of patience. The scalops in the borders are filled with fine lines. 

If anyone is interested in purchasing the same please let me know.
