The Bhil paintings are always done freehand. Putting brush straight to canvas or paper, they seldom need an outline or rough sketch. These paintings are characterized by their dots and lines on the flat colored backgrounds which collectively make up a total graphic. The bodies are seldom in a single color, but are laid out in beautifully demarcated shades and clean geometrical lines. Every Bhil painter has developed his own mannerism for painting this subject. Visual ingenuity is not uncommon for the pardhans of the Bhil tribe of Madhya Pradesh make the Bhil paintings. They smear mud paste on the floors, doors, and walls of their homes and then paint motifs on them with a brush fashioned out of bamboo, using colors made from natural materials. In the early 80s some of the pardhan Bhil painters started painting on paper and developed a more unique style of painting using bright colors and simple forms. Subsequently, this style was popularly known as Bhil painting. The Bhilpainters love nothing better than to narrate stories behind their paintings.These two-dimensional paintings reflect the artist’s perception of life.
