A Design Exercise

If a large sheet of white paper seems to stopper up your creative juices, try this.
Design a mandala!

Mandalas are simply disk or circle shaped symbolic designs.

When you see a circular shape it's usually easier to start making creative marks.

Simply draw a circle and start creating! I did some smaller "thumbnail" designs in my sketchbook.



Then I chose one and blew it up to about 6 inches across.



The fun part was painting. For this one I used acrylics on watercolor paper using an analogous color scheme.



Try this the next time you're feeling stuck.

Who says you can't have depth with acrylics?
