Mandala means "circle" in Sanskrit. Painting mandalas can bring a meditative sense of focus, reflection, peacefulness, and discovery. And, they are fun! Create mandala circles, starting with loosely painted watercolor backgrounds; then, using gouache, acrylic markers, and gel pens, you will move around your mandala circle, creating symmetrical designs and patterns with shapes and colors that are unique to your own intuitive mark-making. Two demonstrations are given during the class showing the mandala painting process and how to use these mixed-media art materials. No art experience is necessary. All supplies are provided.
