The progression of this project up to this point is documented on my “Let’s Tap Into Our Creative Side” blog where I show you how to make a spray painting using diluted watercolor paints, pump spray bottles, and painters tape.
I decided to enhance the painting, to add some shape and depth to it by painting with color pencils. Using prismacolors pencils I added shading to make the different ‘pieces’ look like they are floating in space and in front of/or behind different pieces.
Added some color pencil shading to the painting
I also made any noticeable paint droplets look more like little orbs. The colors used reflect the color of the paint blog that was there. This is the finished piece.
My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
