When Delhi-based Aparna Jain wanted to give her cousin and his wife an anniversary present in February this year, she thought of a novel idea&mdash;she painted a wall for them. Aparna, a leadership and diversity coach, and author of Own It: Leadership Lessons from Women Who Do, wanted the wall to be reminiscent of the times that she, Aditya and his wife had spent in Bengaluru. &ldquo;We all miss the flowering trees and creepers in Bengaluru,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;Aditya offered me these rugged pillars in their living room to paint, and I agreed. Once we conceptualised the theme, I started with paints&mdash;10 shades of Asian Paints Royale.&rdquo; She began with a gulmohar tree as her anchor and added laburnum, jasmine, passion flower, magnolia, bougainvillea and creeping English roses, among others, to give the wall a cheery look. Though Aparna has had no formal training in painting, the fact that she had been trying her hand at watercolours for the past year helped her put together her first wall painting. And it took just three days for her to complete the look. &ldquo;We repainted some of the parts which we thought didn&rsquo;t work. The rugged part of the wall was the hardest to navigate.&rdquo;MAKE IT YOURSELF. If you want to try wall painting, Aparna suggests starting with a fresh coat of paint on the wall. Then, get the composition ready on a piece of paper and make sure you keep the base paint at hand to cover up errors or spills.&nbsp;
