Navratri art

I’m currently taking Canvas of Heritage art classes online via Zoom. I love learning both Indian art techniques and the stories behind the festivals. Although my art is far from perfect, this piece honors Durga/Kali, the goddess who destroys fear, dispels darkness, and blesses us with courage and auspiciousness on the seventh day of Navratri.
