Madhubani Painting 3

An ornate rendering of the ‘tree of life’ from the Madhubani bag of themes, done in black color and intricate patterns. The fine detailing, the intricate border and the color scheme all harmonize beautifully, to render it an exquisite work of art. Madhubani paintings are done using natural colors produced from locally available flowers, berries, leaves, barks, and charcoal, putting them in a class of their own. Madhubani paintings are made with natural dye on handmade paper coated with a layer of cow dung, which essentially reflect their artists’ proximity with nature!
