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 5 of 100 days of mandalas

Materials:

• Basic compass, pencil and eraser
• 150-300 gram 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.

I recently found a feather drawing in my skecthbook and wanted to try creating a mandala using a feather design. I finished adding color to this on the beach so the blues and greens felt like the appropriate colors to use. I love how calming this mandala is.
