Hi friends,

Would love to share with u on how i did this
Requirements:
Handmade paper
Poster colours
Brushes
Trace paper
Carbon Paper
More Patience ;)
and a madhubani design...there are n numbers in the net ...find out the one u love to do
 
How to do???
1.Draw the design in the trace paper.... u can erase and do as many times till u get the rite picture..
outline alone is fine....detatiling is not required

2.i used a yellow carbon paper for this as black carbon spoils my work .this black ink spreads all over wen i trace

3.then i drew the details in pencil all over.

4.Now for the colours i used poster colours


5.As am new to painting and stuff i struggled initially to get colours

For orange colour -Red+yellow
For skin colour -Yellow ochre+white(i found it perfect ) u can see the colour in my madhubani bride painting

hope it helps

6.Now after finishing the whole work i used black marker pen that u use for writing on the CD  for outlining

7.Now my madubani peacocks are ready ... it appox took 5-6 hrs to finish :)

Have a nice day Folks

How to do Madhubani Painting???

Madubani Painting 
(Folk Art of Bihar)
Long time ago, at the time of Ramayana,King Janak,Sita's father asked the artists of Mithila region in Bihar to do a painting of his Daughter's Marriage to Lord Rama.This is how te tradition of Madhubani also called Mithila painting started.

It was earlier done on walls,but now people do it on paper and cloth.the colours were made from plants.The motifs were from nature and mytilogical events and themes revolved around Hindu deities and natural objects like sun,moon etc.,
This style of painting does not leave any empty space.The gaps are filled with flowers,animals or any geometrical patterns.Traditionally , madhubani painting was taught by mothers to their daughters,but now everyone does it.

You will require:
Handmade paper (better to go for plain rather than textured)
Black Marker (for outlining)
Trace paper
Carbon Paper
Pencil
Poster Colours
Brushes(2-3 brushes of different sizes)preferably 000 brush

How to do ???
1.Trace the design/or the required design you want ...any madhubani design is fine.
2.Now in the handmade paper draw the border using pencil or straight away with marker or trace it
3.Trace the whole picture using Carbon sheet.(Here i used a black carbon paper)
4.Now i did the border using the marker for the whole picture.
5.Finally i coloured it using poster colours.
6.Madhubani painting is done.
