It’s the structure of the Mandala that I’m drawn to. As I construct the frame work I become inspired and the design begins to reveal itself.
I use a pencil and ruler to find the center of the page, a compass for the circles and a protractor to evenly divide. Starting at the center I work my way out. When I have a rough sketch I use liner pens to finalize the lines.
I scan my finished drawing, resize and print off the template. I apply a thin layer of oil paint on the back and tape it to the canvas. Using a pen I trace over the structure leaving out the details.
Again, I start in the center laying color in as I work my way out. To keep my colors sharp I allow time to dry before moving to the details and line work.
My goal is to gain a deeper understanding of color and how it influences emotion.
