Hi everyone, welcome to my series on creating Mixed Media Mandalas over a 100 days. If you are just finding these posts, information can be found over here – 100 days of Mandalas. 🙂

Day 10 of 100 days of mandalas

Materials:

• Basic compass, pencil and eraser
• 150-300 gram watercolor/sketchbook paper. I use Canson (if you are adding alot of paint/water, the heavier the better)
• Pilot V ball 0.5 black pen. You can use lots of different pens, but these are my favourite at the moment.
• A basic set of watercolor paints (in a tube), water, paintbrushes.
• Gold Faber-Castell ARTIST PITT pen (metalic set)

I based this mandala on a macro photo I had taken last year. I love how the middle of the flower has what looks like hundreds of little starry flowers, so loved drawing this little flowers out in the center.

It did not feel colorful enough at this stage so added a gorgeous rose pink watercolor I had bought a few days ago, so glad I did! I love this color.
