What is Warli painting?
Warli painting is a traditional Indian art form originating from the Warli tribe in Maharashtra. It features intricate patterns and figures, often depicting daily life, nature, and social events, using simple geometric shapes like circles, triangles, and squares.
What materials are used in your Warli paintings?
The Mhase family's Warli paintings are created using natural materials. The artwork is typically done on handmade paper or cloth, using rice paste for the designs, which gives the paintings their distinctive earthy texture and color.
