How to make the most simple mandala? Today Craftrove has a tutorial for all of you how would love to create a mandala but don’t know how to start. Here is what Craftrove has to say about this toturial:
“Most of the people don’t even start drawing, thinking what if it turns out to be ‘not so perfect’? I made this video to show that that even a not so perfect drawing can look beautiful. You just need to pick up your pen and start drawing! ”
“For those wanting to know, what mandala art is , the word Mandala means ‘circle’. These circular designs symbolize a never ending life. The mandala appears to us in all aspects of life, the Earth, the Sun, the Moon and more obviously the circles of life encompassing friends, family and communities. Mandalas are also used for meditation purposes allowing the individual meditating to become one with the universe. Hope this helped you.! ”

Here is what Kristin says about her mandala making:
“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.
