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 16 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) and a brown

This started off as a lotus flower doodle that felt like it morphed into a 1920’s art deco feminine design. Another joy to create.
