Mandalas are most commonly a circular shape with a central point that has various motifs and patterns created from the center outwards to create a beautiful design or piece of artwork. Mandalas can contain sections in 4, 8 and 12 parts being symmetrical in design or freestyle. They are often used as a meditation tool and can be so much fun to create for everyone.

- 5 modules (multiple lessons inside each module)
- Over 1 hour 30 mins of video

Your Instructor and Creative Guide ❤️
Hello, I am a British mixed-media artist with a passion for color, nature and mandala making.
My intention is to inspire and help creative souls of all ages tap into their muse through my fun and relaxed approach to art-making in my online classes.
My classes include videos, audios, pdf downloads and different techniques. All filmed in my studio in Spain. I have been offering online learning since 2010, and as technology has improved, I am now updating my videos and classrooms to create an easy to use environment for you to enjoy. All classes are self-paced and have lifetime access.
My mission is to create a learning environment online where you feel you are right here in my studio with me, watching lots of demos and working through each project, inspired by what I am showing you to then create on your own.
See you in class! Louise xx
