Description
Mandala drawing is the perfect art exercise for developing a peaceful state of focused relaxation. In the workshop, Lou will share her techniques for creating detailed but simple circular pattern drawings. We’ll begin with readymade circle templates to get you quickly started, but Lou will also share methods of creating and dividing circles using compasses so that you can go on to create any kind of mandalas you like, on any kind of surface. We’ll work with fine liner pens, and Lou will also have options for colouring and decorating your mandalas with markers and watercolour. During the workshop, you’ll develop your own collection of mandala patterns that you can use to build up intricate and complex designs that make every mandala unique. You’ll use these patterns to create a finished piece with the option of framing your completed mandala.
