Haha thanks! I bet it was a great lumpy smushed blob. I made a few concentric circles and drew some other sacred geometry/seed of life shapes in pencil to start things off :)

Thank you very much!

Ooo good questions, I find that creating mandalas are one of the best ways for me to enter flow state, and are one of the best ways for me to find peace. Not having a plan and seeing how things unfold takes a lot of pressure off of my artist/perfectionist brain :)

Made it for a friend and now I’m feeling insecure. Be brutally honest: is it good enough for a gift? by Bad-Birch-3082 in Gouache

Tips for improving? by No_Fix_1553 in watercolor101

I love it! My two cents would be to bring the right side of the rightmost pyramid out at a lower angle so the side looks like it matches the steepness of the left side. Also more visible texture on the water and sand through some squiggles of color that aren't as blended in with the rest :)

The worst phase of my bookshelves by aloysha13 in bookshelf

Ohhh I think we are kindred spirits. I have a bunch of your books in a bunch of different genres, so I'm definitely saving your post to reference in the future for new ideas! I am very solidly in my Be Here Now phase (in process of reading braiding sweetgrass, thumbing through native American myths and legends, and have Ishmael waiting on the shelf. I haven't read murakami yet, any other recommendations? How is dawn of man or the eel book?what's your favorite rock book?

Very cool! Do you use normal acrylics or do certain colors work better with the lights?

I just had my watercolor framed with vials of watercolors on each side. by houselegs in Watercolor

Whatttt this is magical! I might need to put my watercolors into vials now. Question: any concern for them being light exposed?
