Warli Art!! You can try it too!!!

    If you feel that you are not creative or artistic then I have an option ;) which is simple, easy, looks elegant, and beautiful.. Warli Painting… It’s really easy.. We don’t have to master it.. At initial stage we just need to learn it.. Some history before we start..It started in small village of Maharashtra-Gujarat border.. they used paste of rice to draw..usually done on walls.. but now u will see it on many things viz. small key-chains,t-shirts,sarees, bags, etc..
     Actually according to me, warli is a very simple art.. they have kept it very simple to show their habitat.. their life..their living..warli doesn't  complicate the things.. if you check some images, then you will realize its just joining different shapes.. triangle,circle,square.. they mostly work in a square "chaukat" what we call.. these are the limits for them..
    Traditionally they used rice paste but now we can use acrylic color (white).. any colored cloth.. if you are not confident enough then simply you can work on paper.. take colored papers (add colors in your life.. don't make it lame ;) )  if you are working on paper then colored pens will do..To start with you can follow the simple representation of drawing a human (as shown in snap below)
   
           Yes its so simple.. :) just join them continuously... and fill the shapes.. it will make a beautiful design..use 2 colors alternately.. looks beautiful.. :D..you can draw it on paper cups.. (that's what I did ).. You can draw it on cloth.. and frame it..to make it more creative u can show a lady in warli.. You can draw huts,trees,snake,beetles,insects,..you will get many designs on google..
        Art is a thing which will definitely reduce stress, increase concentration.. I experienced it.. now-a-days its my regular routine after office.. (its needed!!)..People were so creative even then when they didn't had much stuff.. and when we have so many options.. why not use it.. ;)..


         Currently I am painting a dancing peacock.. its just so strange.. peacock just looks amazing even in single color.. Adding a snap.. its not completed yet.. Work in Progress...;)



       Adding art in life is just awesome.. after its done it just feels great.. like an achievement..you can continue with any art form.. not necessarily warli..dance,singing,reading,writing,etc..
       Explore yourself.. surely you will be surprised to see results.. ;)
All the best!!
