A little shine for your weekend. I haven’t had as much time to paint lately and I miss it. Arts and crafts are my calm place.

Entire mandala and detail in comments.

Painted diagonal pattern in purples and blues with gold highlights. Painted in metallic paint.

Trying out repeating patterns with the Amaziograph app. I don’t know if these even qualify as “art” but they are soothing to paint and I love the metallic paints so much.

Complex mandala is deep and light pinks with lots of details. Dots, lines, arcs, silver outlining. Lush and shiny.

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #arttherapy#amaziograph 🎨🖌️

Pinky mandala.
I got a new fine point silver paint pen for outlining and like it very much. Things really pop!

I am trying to negotiate this new world. Focusing on the details helps me.

Painting of a young girl looking down at the ground. Her hands are at her sides, bent outwards at the wrist. Her robe is huge and voluminously swirl-worthy, and painted in a rich golden variety of patterns. The background of green door and brick wall are also stylized and patterned, almost beyond recognition.

Assignment: produce a painting in the style of a famous painter.

I chose Klimt. If you’ve seen my mandalas you know I:
1. Already have ALL the shiny paints
2. Never met a pattern I didn’t like.

Based on a photo. It was fun!

Very delicate pink and silver mandala with accents of pale mint green.

Detail of former mandala. Many dots and delicate lines today.

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #arttherapy#amaziograph 🎨🖌️

Some days we feel a little delicate. Like we would like things to be soft and pink and FLUFFY and not slapping us in the face all the
time.

If you’ve been having that kind of day, this mandala is for you. 💕💖💓💝

Mandala in Shades of red, steel blue and various tones of silver and gold. Intricate and complex with a lot of detail of dots and curving lines. If you look carefully at the pattern some of it looks like a ring of French bulldog faces. Not intentional but hilarious. 🤣

The message of today’s mandala is that I have a new box of paints and they are Very Shiny.

I also have a new set of itty bitty paintbrushes so therefore we are entering the world of infinite dots.

A painting consisting of a matte black background with a large shiny gold metallic disc in the center. Like a golden moon.

Today’s mandala

Truth
Is simple
It stands alone
Is all of a piece
Is not divided

Like gold, it does not tarnish with time
It remains unscarred by caustic lies

Some try to change lead into gold

But it cannot be done

A new, unused box of metallic watercolor paints, in silver, gold, copper and rose gold. Very shimmery and delightful as only a new pencil or unused school supplies can be.

I’m in an art hobby group and next months
‘assignment’ is to create a piece in the style of another artist. Can you guess who I chose? 😉

Green and silver mandala, very spiky!

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #arttherapy#amaziograph 🎨🖌️

(Reposted w/ better pic)

Since money has dominated the news this week, it seems like a green mandala would be appropriate today.

If you have any relaxing hobbies, now is a good time to break them out 😉.
💚🩶🤍

Mandala in metallic paints. Shades of blue and blue green with white pearl accents. Many dotted details and some hearts too.

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #arttherapy#Amaziograph 🎨🖌️

Some days you just need something pretty to look at. 👀
I got a tiny box of blue paints and LOVE them! (I have a detailed shot in the thread.)

Blue for the blue sky that is eternal. Pearl white for hope.
💙🤍

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #arttherapy#amaziograph 🎨🖌️

Deep colors. Almost all the colors in the box. Sometimes you just have to use every tool you have. Make every mark you know how to make.
Try it all.
Try again.
Keep working.
Keep trying.
Keep fighting.
❤️💙💜🖤💛💚💖

Love love love my new metallic watercolors. (CSY brand) Repeating pattern created in Amaziograph app.

“You can shade things anyway you want, but in the end truth is always golden”

Hold on to the truth. ⚖️

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #amaziograph 🎨🖌️
Still exploring my new metallics! These are the strongest colors in the box. Bright, reflective, and slightly discordant, as I’m going to have to be to get through these days.

May each day bring you a little joy.

Decorative mandala in watercolor paints. Metallic blue, green, pink and yellow pastel colors. Lots of dots and details.

Close up of Mandela. Dots following contours of sections to give more interest and liveliness

The sun is out, so some spring colors today ! I have called my reps and done a painting, life is about balance.😉

Srsly, tho, how are ya’ll doing? What are your bests mechanisms, both for coping and for action?

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #copium #amaziograph 🎨🖌️

Mandala! New paints! (I’m a sucker for shiny 😂)

Intense colors. Lots of contrast. Trying to remain calm amidst the Maelstrom.

Hold on to whatever gets you through the day and ready to face tomorrow. 🫂

💜💗🤍💙💚

A very angular mandala in green grey and silver. It is made of various size triangles, and it VERY poky. Looks like high heels in a wheel formation just rounding ‘bout to whomp the unjust.

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #amaziograph

Well, I’m feeling a little spiky today. Need to poke someone/something in the eye with a fork.😉 This shiny mandala will have to serve instead- looks vaguely like high heels kicking in formation. Take from that what you will.

My paints are packed up while we travel but I can still make things and color them in the Amaziograph app. Today is a blue and yellow sunflower. For reasons.
💙💛

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #copium #mindfulness. Today’s mandala has some deeper colors. It seems I always manage to put a ring of hearts in there, because we should surround ourselves with love as much as possible these days. Do your best, and let go of the rest.

Mandala in varying tones of gold and silver. Done in metallic paint, with lots of detailed dots and outlines.

Shiny Tuesday! All the golds and glitter. I create these in the Amaziograph app and transfer to paper. I find painting them engrossing and soothing, which is a good thing. Your little shield against the chaos today. Hope and cope

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #copium
Back on the pink bus today. I gravitate towards the warm colors for comfort, I think. There are little hearts, too, to remind you that love still abounds.
As always, a tiny glittery shield against the chaos. 🩵🤍🩷

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #copium

Today’s a twofer. Warm colors from my heart, and an extra punchy gold accent. May your life be as rich as these colors today! As always, a tiny heartfelt shield against the chaos. Hope and cope, folks.

#art #painting #mandala #watercolors #metallicpaints #coping #copium

Today’s mandala. I trend towards reds and purples, so steered myself to colors I don’t usually favor. This one is swirly, since we are in The Maelstrom 😉. Still a shield an against the chaos. Hope and cope, folks. 💛💚🤎🧡🩶

Got another one for you 😄
