DOC.01What defines this style

Double contours and living patterns fill every surface with rhythm.

Madhubani, or Mithila painting, is known for double-line contours, flat natural colors, patterned infill, and dense motifs of fish, birds, flowers, and leaves. Its all-over rhythm supports cultural education, decorative prints, and celebratory portraits.

Use it for

  • Cultural education prints
  • Celebratory portrait cards
  • Pattern-rich wall art

Practical notes

  1. Ask ChatGPT to fill blank garment areas with repeated lines and plant motifs.
  2. In Midjourney, lower chaos if unrelated ornamental systems begin to mix in.
  3. Use a limited natural-pigment palette and avoid glossy digital gradients.
