Another page in my PaperArtsy junk journal, this one is all about patterns. For this page I have drawn and coloured a Mandala.
First with pencil and a compass..
Going over the lines with a medium grey fineliner.
Starting to colour with Prisma pencils
More colouring..
Adding in more colours, plus shading with darker pencils.
Once I had finished colouring I added Infusions tot he outside edges
Not sure I liked it, the outer edges looked a bit grungy.
So I used white paint to go over the Infusions, as they are water reactive they merged with the paint and created a pleasant pale green background.
I then added the black stripes.
I really love this page.

oh fab! love the end result - like you, not sure about the infusion stage but just love how you rescued it.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely wonderful, Darcy, I love seeing your process for making a mandala and I love the shading and the stripes. I agree with you and Helen it was the right decision not to stick with the infusions,
