DIY Basic Envelope Design Series – Part 3 – Pichwai on Envelope

What’s more satisfying than making some of our basic utility items ourselves!

Hey guys! Welcome to The Craft House and welcome to Basic Envelope Design Series.

In this series I’ll be making our very basic money/shagun/gift envelopes and then I’ll be decorating those in five different art forms. This series will therefore have total six posts.

The previous posts were about How to Make Your Own Envelope https://youtu.be/GzJT3s9N10k & Decorating Your Envelope with Mandala https://youtu.be/GOoKceYozi4. For this particular post, I’ve picked up Pichwai Painting. In next posts of this series there will be three more art forms. So, stay tuned…

Materials used:

  1. Blank White Envelope
  2. Pencil, Eraser & Ruler
  3. Faber Castle Acrylic Colours – 12 Shades pack
  4. Rorito Fiber Point Pen – Black colour
  5. Paint Brush #1
  6. Carbon paper (optional)

Pichwai, typically, means ‘hanging at the back’. This painting has its roots in Nathdwara Mandir, Rajasthan, where its done on the walls of the temple, depicting various Leela (activities) of Shreenathji (the local avatar of Lord Krishna).

There are few key elements of this form of painting – the deity himself, lotus flowers, cows and some floral designs.

In my painting in the envelope here, I have included Shreenathji’s face and lotus flowers.

Do try a version of your own and share the same with us.
