On Monday, a large number of art lovers visited the exhibition and admired it.

He said he taught drawing at Beacon House National University in Lahore and had a great experience of learning miniature painting under Murad Mumtaz and Mahreen Zuberi. The drawings have been made using charcoal on paper and chalk which give a great impact of light while the prints have been made using different colours and copper plates, Damon further said.
