How to paint dot mandalas with Kristin Uhrig- #21 Candy Spiral
” I have been on a journey to learn a new painting technique to relieve the stress brought on through a medical crisis with my husband’s cancer. . A camping trip resulted in a fine collection of smooth flat, round stones. They were the inspiration for learning to create dot mandala designs on rocks, and then late on canvas panels. I began making tutorials to share this adventure with others, so they could learn from my mistakes as well as my successes. My hopes that others will be encouraged to try something new, and creat beautiful lasting pieces of art that will bring them joy.”
