Art of Warli

I think many of us would haven't heard this kind of art. Its actually a kind of traditional painting poriginated from Maharashtra. Warli is the vivid expression of daily and social events of the Warli tribe of Maharashtra, used by them to decorate the walls of village houses.

Its damn easy to learn this art. more than learning, its all about creativity with the geometrical figures.

the pattern will always be one of these: circle, triangle, rectangle, square.. Its all about deriving the structure with these figures.

Nowadays it has become very popular. Probably you could have seen this in some of the front page of novels, magazines, but you would havae not known the name of this art.

Below is one of the warli art...

So lets start our own warli art....

• First choose the design for the art
