I've always loved Islamic geometric art (I'm from Sevilla, in Andalusia, and there is plenty of Islamic beauty there, even if we don't always value it). I also love technical drawing at high school and university because it was the only way of drawing that I could do (I am terrible at "artistic" drawing). I've never tried to do watercolors or any kind of fine arts coloring. Thanks to you I ordered a small set of watercolor, some thick paper, and a compass and I find myself just willing to try every single one of your examples, starting for your beginners' course that I will gladly pay. Thank you so much for showing me a way of connecting with this art and, without knowing, giving me permission to try. I am very, very happy I found you.
You create such beauty and I'm so grateful for your attitude toward learning - you are so encouraging and kind; lovely works created by a lovely person
Dividing a circle into 5 and then 10 is notoriously a very difficult constriction, so good eyesight, lighting, hand eye coordination, sharp and excellent equipment, precision ine every move all count towards minimising the errors and in accuracy...if any.of them is lacking, you wont get it right....it may take several attempts to get it right! Good luck!
I appreciate your training, but your hand completely covers where you go and plot. I have to go back and forth and play it again to see what you do. I wish you had been recorded the way that you were showing with fingers each step the length for compass
sorry about that, I know many have drawn from this successfully, so it's worth persevering with and if you've not drawn before, or divided a circle into 5, then perhaps start from the earlier videos in the play list www.samiramian.uk/fivefold

Samira Mian thank you, i will try 🌸
Having same issue.. Tried so many times but failed ☹️
I’m glad it’s not just me! Getting soooo frustrated, by the time I get round the circle the two marks that cross are miles away from each other!!
