MaimeriBlu Mandala

I switched to my Faber Castell Pitt pen with  MaimeriBlu paints.
Circles and curves are predominate in my madalas. I might force myself to use some straight lines in the next one. I think every

one has their own personal mark makings.

Addicting!

 I decided to add some line and circles to the birthday mandala. I like it better this way.

I used a Pigma micron 01, and a Sanford uni ball gel pen in gold. Very easy to carry with me, as I didn't need my paints to make it beautiful! The Canson mixed media 9X12  spiral works just great for this.

Maribu Mandala

Maibu opaques were used for this Mandala. I tend to like the transparent paints best;
they just look livelier! There is a silver and a gold in this pan set which will come in handy.

A Birthday Mandala

This mandala is for my sister who is celebrating her birthday in Heaven.
I miss her, and know how she loved her flowers in her yard.
She use to sit out in the yard in the evening to see the flower that only blooms at night!
I used Daniel Smith paints for this one.

Mandalas

I love making mandalas. I will try to do one a day in my sketchbook.
By painting them with different kinds of paint, they can also serve as
a reference guide as to color, transparancy etc.

I used a Micron 01 for the outline, and Twinkling warercolors!

Red Poppies

Poppy time is just about over for this year. They were very plentiful, especially in Old Town where the people let them propagate from year to year. Some yards were completely full; beautiful! The plein air painters are up and down the street today capturing  memories.

HAPPY LITTLE DAFFODILS, as Bob Ross would say!!
This 12X12 acrylic went to a new home to brighten up a kitchen.
