WHAT ARE ACRYLIC COLOURS –

Acrylics colours are permanent colours which dry insoluble and remain flexible when they dry. They do not yellow with age. They dry rapidly and give the visual impression of both watercolour and oil paintings. They became popular in the 20th century when artists were concerned about the health risk posed by handling oil paints and its fumes. Hence, in no time, acrylic paintings garnered praises as a safer alternative along with their fast-drying qualities and permanence. Moreover, acrylic paints are known to significantly enhance the tonality and richness of paintings. 

ABOUT THE PAINTING “Dancing Diva”
This painting is a literal mood booster. It will brighten up any room and brighten up your mood as well. It features a beautiful woman performing Bharatnatyam in the fort coutyard. During the early ages of India, Bharatanatyam was used as a form of entertainment for rulers in India. The attire of a Bharatanatyam dancer resembles a Tamil Hindu's bridal dress. It consists of a fitted, brilliantly colored sari which is mainly of warm colors with mirrors on them and is worn in a special way, wrapped upwards along the back and tightly to the body contour, past one shoulder, with its end held at the waist by a jeweled belt. The dancer is typically adorned with jewelry on her ear, nose, and neck that outlines her head or hair. Her face has conventional makeup, eyes lined and ringed by collyrium which help viewers see her eye expressions. Her hair is tied up in the traditional way, often braided in with fragrant flowers (veni or gajra). She wears one or more leather anklets (ghungroos). Ghungroos are basically made up of small bells. They can be either attached to a broad strap that has bells uniformly attached to it (rows) or it can be like a string of bells like bracelet which are tied around the feet. Like all classical dances of India, it is steeped in symbolism, both in its abhinaya (acting) and its goals. The gestures, poses and facial expressions convey the ras (sentiment, emotional taste) and bhava (mood) of the underlying story. 

This painting imparts happiness and tells us a story. Like Bharatnatyam, it also communicates a sense of power, strength, comfort, and confidence.

P.S. (1) This is an original acrylic painting inspired by the Surrealism paintings of many great artists.

(2) PRO TIP: Before hanging, use painter’s tape to measure and visualize the canvases, instead of turning your wall into swiss cheese with nail holes.

(3) All of our products are made to order, which eliminates waste and ensures only the highest quality products are produced. And the best part? Every purchase pays the artist who designed it, empowering creative expression across the globe.

(4) Care for Paintings - Do not keep the painting rolled in the packaging tube for longer periods. If kept in the tube for long the painting might develop cracks. Get it stretched on a stretcher or frame it as soon as possible. Also, do not put glass over the canvas since the canvas needs to breathe and with glass moisture might get trapped inside the frame.

General for Wall Art

• Don’t keep the artworks in the packaging tube for long. Cracks might appear if they are kept rolled.
• Keep them flat and ensure two paint surfaces don’t touching each other if two paintings are placed over each other. 
• Keep your artworks out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Use a soft rag, muslin cloth or a soft hair paint brush to dust your artworks to prevent dust buildup. Don't use any cleaning solvents or water.
• Wrap your artwork well if you plan to transport it. Hold the painting from the bottom. For mid to big size paintings two people holding is desirable.
• If your artwork gets damaged, don't fix it yourself. Get in touch with restoration artists.

Canvas Wall Art

• Do not frame artworks on canvas under glass because canvas needs to breathe. If framed under glass, moisture may get trapped inside the frame.
• For mid to large paintings do have extra supporting stretcher bars within the main frame. This gives extra support and avoids the frame to get twisted over time. Twisted stretcher can develop cracks in the artwork.
