How to Paint a Watercolor Mandala

Join me to paint a calming, meditative mandala in watercolour with gold accents. In the video I show you how to use a compass and ruler to draw a seed of life shape to use as the basis for the mandala, how to choose and mix colours for painting and finish your painting with some fine details.

Try adding a bit of QOR paint to another brand while wet, like Daniel smith, and watch how QOR explodes across the first paint. And the magenta/teal paints have become one of my favorite color combinations. Thank you for this video.

[@LouDavis]
