A couple of new speed paintings of mandalas are now on YouTube. “Particle Mandala 3” and “Celtic Knot Mandala 3”. I hope you like them.

Celtic Knot Mandalas

by Leland | Jun 14, 2017 | Art, Mandalas, Tutorials

I’ve been having so much fun drawing mandalas that I would like to increase my skills. (After all, they’ve been little more than doodles those for – believe it or not!) I wasn’t quite sure how to do this, and then it hit me! What if I could make a Celtic knot mandala?!?

This is not exactly a typical way to make one. Mostly because a piece is usually one or the other. I’m not sure if I’ve seen a piece that is both!

After two attempts, I believe that I’ve made enough progress that I can help someone else. My first attempt is here:

It’s a little bit sloppy. I was just experimenting. But I explain my thinking.

And here is my second attempt from this morning:

You can see, it’s a little better. I think these are just warmups, so I hope you stay tuned! 😎

Flower Watercolor Mandala

New mandala speed painting using Corel Painter 2016’s (mostly) “Real Watercolor” brush, “Noisy Flowmap Fringe”, primarily. (With a little gouache thrown in.)

I set the number of segments to 3 and then 6 to achieve more interesting results.
