Kachini (Indian Folk Art) workshop by Pratik on Oct 31st & Nov 1st
About the Artist, Pratik Apurva (@pratik_apurva):
An art enthusiast and kids wear designer by profession. I am a NIFT graduate presently working as a designer with the Madura group. Two years back while surfing Pinterest I came across this beautiful art form of doodling and while over a period of time I have practiced mandalas, zentangle, Madhubani, Kachini and have tried to develop my style through mixing Madhubani with zentangle motifs. This art form has been a source of meditation and has improved my concentration power.

About Madhubani (Kachini) Paintings:
The most globally acclaimed Indian folk art originating in Mithila areas of Indian and Nepal border of Bihar 2500 years ago is Madhubani paintings. Admired for its intricate motifs and symbolism with its bright colours, artistic taste, connection with nature and spiritual /mythological belief makes it very valuable in Indian culture.
There are 5 distinct styles of Madhubani painting which are widely practised – Kachni, Bharni, Godana, Tantrik and Kohabar style. Kachni style is very common and considered as one of the supreme works, as it is mostly done by lines and dots and dominated by red and black to emphasize the contrast.
