I will teach you how to create ethereal Mandalas that have depth or a 3D effect, create transparencies and work through overlapping elements.

There are many ways to create a Mandala! In this Advanced course I am teaching many innovative techniques which I developed in the last 10 years. I will teach you how to create ethereal Mandalas that have depth or a 3D effect, create transparencies and work through overlapping elements. But this is not all! You will learn how to combine large elements with fine lace-like details, embellishing your mandalas in an unique and delicate way.
In this course I am going through different ways to find the intention behind your Mandala and to choose your color palette so you will be able to express your feelings and emotions through colors and to create your personal and unique Mandala/ meditation tool.
The Mandala Advanced Course is for those who already took my Beginners Course or are already experienced in drawing and painting mandalas but want to explore new innovative techniques.At some point in my life I had a regular office job and eventually a bore out. I saved myself quitting it and retreating into Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. A 2 year stay in an Ashram followed. This altered not just my worldviews and my beliefs but also influenced the way I express myself in art.
