This extremely fine and minute painting is carefully prepared with water colors on a very old paper. Its so fine that you may even notice a stroke in a painting with a single hair of the artists brush.
We have a stock of papers that date back to 1940's. These papers to are carefully chosen for paintings give them an antique and unique look. Some of these papers are a little worn out to make the painting even beautiful, but the painting area is carefully choosen to not include such areas.
In some cases, we highlight some text (mostly written in Urdu language) from the old papers after the painting is done.
