The beautiful velvet painting depicts the beauty of flowers at night with some spectacular designs. The darkness also has its own charm and the painting only reinforces that. A very popular genre of painting style, velvet painting uses velvet for its typically silky and soft-to-touch look and preferably used as the base for unique and decorative paintings. Painted completely by hand, velvet painting is a shining example of the ascetic splendour of Indian art. Bold, bright and vivid colors are used to add to the richness of the velvet paintings.
