I’m back to painting mandalas again. This time it’s the “True Warrior” mandala. It’s message is “Be strong of heart. Still the mind. Be of joyful spirit.” To me it has a strong Native American feel to it, although it could apply to almost any indigenous culture.
For this painting I’m using watercolor crayons (Staedtler & Caran d’Ache brands). I use a wet watercolor brush, pull some color from the crayon and then apply the paint to the paper. If an area is large enough, I’ll color in the area with the crayon directly onto the paper and then use a wet watercolor brush to spread the color.
It may be a bit difficult to see the outline in these photos. To see a better view, go to www.TheMandalaLady.com/to_color/viewall.php?gallery=1 then mouse over the small icons towards the bottom of the group and select “True Warrior”. (the mandalas are in alphabetical order)
My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
