The  Madhubani painting  is said to be one of the most famous  art  forms that originated from India. ... These  paintings  often have characteristics like complex geometrical patterns. They are also well known for the representation of ritual content on  special  occasions like festivals and religious rituals. Madhubani is made in 3 ways with pen drawing, paints, and also filled with colorful sand. Madhubani painting ( Mithila  painting) was traditionally created by the women of various communities in the  Mithila region  of the Indian subcontinent. It originated from the Madhubani district of the  Mithila region  of  Bihar . Madhubani is also a major export center of these paintings.    

  A  still life  (plural:  still  life’s) is a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which are either natural (food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, shells, etc.) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, etc.).I have here made a still life with a jar, fruits and leaves. Usually, it is done with pencil shading or oil pastels. The preferable company for the oil pastels is 'camel' because it gets smudged very nicely.
