**For Catterfly Art Workshops, sometimes we use the reference image from internet to teach the methods and techniques of traditional art rather than copying the sample image. Traditional arts of India in general suffer from lack of documentation and copyright issues and Catterfly is helping the traditional artist to ensure that they get their dues. At no stage it is intentioned to sell the copyrighted art of any artist with the name of other artist. All the art products which are sold on Catterfly website are the original art work of the artist whose name is mentioned alongside the artwork.**
About The Workshop
Paint and create this "Silhouette Of Grace" with Vipra Karkare, an amazing artist. Bring this mesmerizing artwork to life through innovative contemporary painting techniques.
Silhouette of Grace- This artwork shows a young woman dressed in the colors of sunset over the background of a beautiful sunset. The woman is watching the sky in the evening as if it were speaking to her. The sun is melting into the river spilling all the beautiful colors in the sky and water, Gold, Orange and Blue. In that glowing light stands a young woman, her dress is holding the same colors as the sky as if she has gathered the sunset and wrapped it around herself.
Life is not unkind but sometimes can feel heavy, we carry memories of yesterday and worries of tomorrow for so long that the we forget how light our heart could feel. The painting shows that the woman is standing still and letting the sun touch her face. The warm light falling on her cheeks is telling her- "You are here. The moment is enough". Her dress, flowing like colored glass, becomes a symbol of acceptance. The bright orange depicts courage, the blue depicts calm and gold depicts hope. She is not holding on to the past anymore. She is wearing the present.
The woman knows that the sun will set soon. The light would fade. Night would come. But she is not afraid of that because sunsets are promises, not endings. They whisper, "I will return as mornings". So she stands there, breathing slowly, letting the present fill her hands, heart and eyes with a hope that "Tomorrow is beautiful".
So lets paint this beautiful woman, not just watching the sunset, but a woman wearing it, accepting it and trusting the dawn that would follow.
In this workshop, create your masterpiece, learning the techniques of this beautiful art form. You can attend live Zoom sessions where you interact with the master artist and other participants, learning not only the art form in depth but also more about the culture of the region. A structured classroom with step-by-step instructions, pictures, and recorded videos will be available after the session on Google Classroom
