Sometimes it's even available in a normal stationary shop. I simply ask for a "handmade paper" and they give me almost the same one all the time. When buying I would advice to simply look for a handmade paper that is soft and easy to draw on with your ink or marker. If it will have loads of bumps and straws on it's surface, you won't be able to draw good lines. Also try to avoid shiny paper or covered with some slippery substance on top as that will prevent the paint from being well absorbed in paper. Simply look for a soft brownish paper (or white, if you like) that could have a smooth surface.CrazyLassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082230922705947261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417139032515513661.post-20980186178746391542014-05-02T03:13:21.560-07:002014-05-02T03:13:21.560-07:00Hi

Like you said, it's a beautiful art form but it usually doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Could you tell me a little bit about the paper you use and where you source it from?<br />Thanks!Tejashreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212909483223166032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417139032515513661.post-62488718639224213932014-03-26T12:09:55.584-07:002014-03-26T12:09:55.584-07:00Dear Amrita, thanks for your comment!

Madhubani is an extremely pleasant pastime as well as art and it doesn't have many blogs on it. Glad to hear you've started painting! Have fun with it and share your paintings on your blog! :)CrazyLassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082230922705947261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417139032515513661.post-28706394511314286752014-03-26T00:12:57.037-07:002014-03-26T00:12:57.037-07:00Hi ,

Then I carefully try to fit the acrylic colors in with the 000, 00 or 0 size brush. Sometimes the color comes on top of the outline and then I have to outline that part again later. I also repeat the outline for the objects that I want to stand out such as the main figures of the tree. For the clean look, one might need to apply the second layer of black marker after the painting is over but that takes a lot of time. It's best to be careful when coloring in the beginning. :) PS That's why I like permanent marker over the ink because ink is not water proof. It can get smudgy. No, the pencil wouldn't be visible as acrylic is rather thick, but of course, depends on how visible is the pencil line. If you used 6B or 8B soft drawing pencil then the line might be visible. If HB or 2B etc - then it's OK.CrazyLassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082230922705947261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417139032515513661.post-70747656612854200362014-02-12T06:33:34.036-08:002014-02-12T06:33:34.036-08:00Thanks :) .

If you do it in the beginning, then doesn't it get mixed with the acrylic/poster color and lose the effect? Thanks again.Deepti Trivedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500877110324022470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417139032515513661.post-84308453665026594032014-02-10T22:26:41.564-08:002014-02-10T22:26:41.564-08:00Hi dt, thanks for the comment!I have used acrylic ...Hi dt, thanks for the comment!I have used acrylic fabric colors on my walls as well as on paper and on the fabric. It's called "Fevicryl Hobby Ideas Acrylic Colors", it comes in bottles and you can buy it in every stationary shop in India. One bottle costs about 18 rs.CrazyLassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082230922705947261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417139032515513661.post-60252310437724583792014-02-10T07:22:04.158-08:002014-02-10T07:22:04.158-08:00How inspiring!!
