I have been teaching mandala art for some time now. I am a constant learner always searching for something new and exciting in the world of creativity. Well, it seems to me that mandala art is just that. Mandalas, popular for centuries across continents, are a delightful way to focus, go pause, and to discover the colorful inner world we all carry within us. In today's blog, I will give you details about three cool techniques you can test out on your own or during one of my classes in the DMV area. Read on and enjoy!
 | Pencils/Markers What a fun way to rediscover the mediums of our childhood: colored pencils? I promise that once you pick up a bright pencil and start creating your beautifully balanced mandala, you will be transported to good time. This technique is accessible to all and can be truly restorative and relaxing. |
| Photos Let's get a little more complex! Photo collaging is a lovely technique in its own. Yet, it's even more intriguing when used in a mandala that calls for symmetry and well-balanced pattern. Plus, in photos, you can create a mandala with a theme - one that celebrates what is important to you (e.g., travel, friendships, sisterhood, love). |  |
 | 3D Paint Oh, dots and lines everywhere! Did you know 3D fabric paint is an amazing tool to create a mandala full of positive energy and color? This is a delicate artistic medium; one truly worthy exploring and playing around with. My student, in this photo, sat quietly admiring her work proclaiming she did know should could create such beauty. Here you go: three cool ways to create a mandala! |
