This week’s theme: Mandala Artists
I present my coloring/painting of this week’s Mandala of the Week: Mandala Artists (from Sunday’s MotD post). Essentially I used most of the colors I used with last week’s MotW painting, however I gave it a different spin with this mandala. Normally I use a matte medium to paint with to thin out the color a little bit and tone down the paint’s shiny nature.
With this mandala, I painted directly from my tube of paint. I dipped my brush into the tube and then spread it onto the paper. It gives it a thicker texture and a shiny surface which is difficult to see in this image. Inspired by paintings from this week’s Mandalas of the Day, I doodled the white lines in patterns that I associated with each of the five colors.
Overall, I used M. Graham transparent acrylics on Canson’s mixed media paper, enhanced it with a fine and a medium point uni-ball signo white pen.
In the next day or two, I’ll be posting images of my progress through this painting on my ArtProgressions.com blog site.

“Each person’s life is like a mandala – a vast, limitless circle. We stand in the center of our own circle, and everything we see, hear and think forms the mandala of our life.” – Pema Chodron
Happy Coloring!
