WARLI PAINTING

Warli Painting is a tribal painting art in India

These Paintings are done by Warlis; a tribe in India. These Paintings carry a very basic graphic vocabulary: a circle, a triangle & a square.

Originally Warli paintings are the paintings made by warlis on the walls of their huts,

Using bamboo sticks as a brush,

Wet cow dung as the brown background color of the picture and

Thin rice paste as white color to draw the human, animal or other natural or manmade figures.

However it’s now a globally popular art form from India and many people learn these paintings on paper with normal paint brush & white & brown color.

Following are samples of warli paintings I have made.
