Dot Mandala Painting On Canvas

In this workshop you will learn the ancient practice of creating dot mandalas. These skills were practised by buddhist monks as a form of mindfulness and a way to enlightenment. This course is more in depth than the introduction to dot mandala workshop, as you will learn to prepare and draw a grid to plan out a dot mandala design, and paint the design on a 20cm x 20cm canvas.
After starting the day with a coffee and a short introduction, you will learn to draw a simple grid using a mandala stencil that will give you a basic plan to create simple dot mandalas. You will then be guided to complete a second more complex grid on a prepared 20cm x 20xcm canvas using a ruler, protractor and drawing compass that will give you the skills to tailor a grid to produce more complex mandala patterns.
Using practice paper, you will have a demonstration on how to use the dotting balls and rods to create dotted patterns and swooshes to use in your design. You will then be guided through a dot mandala design on canvas.
This workshop is for improvers. This workshop is considered the next step if you have already completed the introduction to dot mandala painting workshop. Although I can’t promise enlightenment, I can provide a fun and relaxed day
