How to Draw a Mandala

Over the past year, I've been working with the incredible education platform Domestika to create this online course to share with you! How to draw a Mandala. I designed the course in Canada and filmed it in New York. Let me tell you about it!

I will teach you how to draw a mandala - all the way from the technical aspects, to the history, meanings, materials needed, tips & tricks - everything. Most of this information I've never shared publicly!

What materials you need to draw a mandala:
No previous experience is necessary. You need a surface to draw on, like an illustration board or thick paper; ink or paint, a pencil, ruler, eraser, and a protractor or drawing compass. Access to an iPad with Procreate is optional but helpful.

It's a very intensive course that covers all aspects of this art form - but it's also available to be taken with no prior experience. This course is great if you want to learn how to draw a mandala from scratch if you want to improve your drawing skills, and/or you're interested in meditation, history, and entering the flow state of mind.

Another great thing about this platform is that there are lots of extra downloads, links, and places to share and interact with me and the other students if you choose to! Head to the link below to take my online course:

Mandalas have a deep history connected to meditation and spirituality, dating back centuries throughout the world. They’ve been used as visual representations of energy, waves, or sound in science, and as a form of self-expression in art therapy. Over the last decade, I have been creating mandalas as a way to convey my admiration for, and connection with nature through my artwork.
