If Facebook and Pinterest are any indication, painted stones are extremely popular, particularly mandala stones. I took a look at YouTube to see if there were any tutorials on how to paint mandalas on stones and rocks. Here is what I found. Enjoy!

Today I have another tutorial in drawing mandalas for you. Below you will find Dearing Wang’s 12 Star Spiral Rose Mandala Tutorial. According to Dearing Wang: “The geometric diagram underlying the 12 pointed star Mandala that spirals towards the Mysterious center is a way to reflect and meditate on ones own life as being part of the Universe. A bigger reality. It is a really fun way to explore the world of abstract mathematical forms. I really like the beauty of this pattern. ”
I recently discovered a number of videos on YouTube showing how to draw specific mandalas and thought it would be fun to share some of them with you. These short videos by Dearing Wang show you how to draw the Arq Mandala pattern.
And just for the fun of it a time lapse video of the Arq mandala drawing process:
According to Dearing Wang: “This pattern has an interesting underlying symmetry. It is defined by an overall 4 Fold symmetry formed by the 4 outer circles. Yet the centre has a 6 Fold symmetry. The big challenge was to connect the Inner with the Outer Form which was different in symmetry depending on the axis.”
