Mandala with Leaf Painting Workshop by Daminih on January 12th in Mumbai

About the Artist:
I am Daminih Verma (@da_mini_arts), owner and founder of Daminih Arts. I am an artist by profession and I completed my bachelors in fine arts in 2010. I have also worked in Digital graphics but I was always more interested in hand painting so decided to get back to it. I have been selling hand painted T-shirts and bags since last 2 years.

I love designing my own T-shirts and when I designed a few t-shirts initially just for fun, my friends loved them. Hence, I got the idea of selling them. I now have hundreds of happy customers and many of them wish to know how I do it. This inspired me to start taking workshops on T-shirt painting.

What would the participants learn at the workshop?
Participants will learn to draw and paint on fabric. Also they will learn leaf print technique.
