Easy rangoli designs - beginners

Though I have drawn all the designs myself personally I am thankful to my family for the inputs, information and help in drafting all the posts so far.  I have used the terms kolam  rangoli quite freely in all the posts.

The only area where I think kolam are different are in sikku kolam and arisi maavu kolam. Both are beautiful, challenging and can be intricate .

kolam with dots 9 to 1 for vasal

Peacock kolangal with dots 
Among the birds peacocks are one of the most fascinating , naturally we try to incorporate these designs in our rangolis.  Since rangoli is a very simple daily art , what we draw will not have the intricate and finer details of other forms of art.  

So what we do it draw the crown for the peacocks and decorate the tail.  This is a white rangoli and hence cane be thought of to represent the beautiful white peacock.  We can also fill the kolam with colours for festivals like Diwali, Pongal, Navartri or draw a white kolam for our daily vasal kolangal

I have shown only the white kolam , if you want to retain it as a white peacock , shading and decorations with motifs are sufficient.
