Description

Warli art showing daily routine of village people, including farming, hunting, fishing,etc.
Warli art is a 5000 year old ancient indian tribal art from Maharashtra,India. The Warli style still retains its immense popularity today.Mother Nature and elements of nature are often focal points depicted in Warli painting. Farming is their main way of life and a large source of food for the tribe. They greatly respect nature and wildlife for the resources that they provide for life.Warli artists use their clay huts as the backdrop for their paintings. The art resembles to cave paintings.
Warli art consists of geometric shapes: a circle, a triangle,lines and dots.The paintings are made on the inside and outside red mud walls of village huts. The walls are made of a mixture of branches, earth and red brick that make a red ochre background for the paintings. The white pigment is made from a mixture of rice flour and water, with gum as a binder. A bamboo stick is chewed at the end to give it the texture of a paintbrush. Walls are painted only to mark special occasions such as weddings, festivals or harvests.
