how to easily create a mandala using a grid

[@analisatangling]

Love both Mandalas! I’m notorious at work for doodling during meetings. People tell me they love to watch me and they are always surprised when I pipe up with comments that show I’m clearly super engaged in the meeting. Doodling means I’m not checking my email, getting distracted by looking around the room. Now that I’m teleworking full time I can watercolor and doodle during meetings! You’ve been such a tremendous inspiration. Thank you!

[@terrytt2932]

very cool and very 'zentanglish' which is fun for me. Beautiful work and very meditative. thank you

[@lorigordon1970]

Your creations are so beautiful and inspiring. I love watching you create. Thank you for sharing

[@serene2887]

Yes agreed with what you sharing. Painting Mandalas and other art lead us to peace and be in the present moment. i have been painting day to day since few months ago and just love it. Always enjoy your videos. Much Love from Canada.

[@Deanriley]

You have the most soothing voice. I enjoy your art, but your voice keeps me attending. Thank you for your videos; very inspiring.

[@cathyphegley7848]

Once again you have inspired me! The use of Zentangle designs and pens with watercolor is brilliant. I love mandalas but would never imagine being able to create one. Thank you!

[@loriwalker-brandon9163]

I really appreciate both mandalas that you showed, but I have to agree that the more neutral one is quite beautiful and calming - they both have very different effects, but are both beautiful in their own way!

[@carianin5293]

This has been one of the most stressful times I can think of and your artwork is ideal as an outlet for relieving stress. That mandala is stunning.

[@trudievick2359]

Both beautiful. But I believe I like the first one more and I think it's very minute things that are different. It's the color. But both are beautiful. Thanks for sharing how you start and achieve these beauties. Stay healthy, safe and happy.

[@brendalane9094]

Very beautiful! Creating is very peaceful and at this time we all need a sense of peace.

[@debbieekes5718]

I love the colors and painting. Thanks for showing the Mandela technique. Will try this.

[@sirgnome1114]

So wonderfully pretty. Love 'em both. Oh! the patience you have. Thanks for the video.

[@craftybamafan]

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your technique. Mandalas look so intimidating and you broke it down into easier pieces and now I’m inspired to try one too.

[@michelesimpson2237]

Love watching you create. Gorgeous just gorgeous

[@Roxannedearartworks]

Ohhhhh Im so excited! Im a mandala artist but I use dots of acrylic. I cant wait to try this! I give a free watercolor once a month to my clients, this will be a perfect way to combine watercolor and mandalas. Thank you! You never disappoint!

[@ronandjanetsyme1581]

Thank you enjoyed the making Mandela

[@PDogB]

Love all your videos! That gold is fantastic on film, wow! Small tip I use for creating a border or holding paper in place would be to use washi tape. Much easier to remove and gentle on surfaces. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[@joannepitre723]

These are absolutely gorgeous. I have never seen mandalas this beautiful before.

[@gaila.c.602]

CeeCee, I absolutely LOVE your mandalas! Very nice work. I hope you show us more mandalas. Thanks!

[@ellenmasters9178]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful plan for drawing mandalas !

[@deborahruth5072]

How very relaxing and don't we all need a little of that right now. Thank you. I am going to give this a try as I could use a little more peace. ❤️

[@chloevalentin3704]

So nice... Thank you for sharing your artworks.

[@kristinaperinot7544]

WOW....they are both absolutely GORGEOUS ❤️❤️❤️ TFS

[@themeg5199]

I’m not sure how spiritual you are but the process of “loosing yourself in your work” is described by Bashar as “act every moment that you can, on your highest excitement to the best of your ability with no insistence on a particular outcome” is the way you connect to your higher self and live your true purpose. Because that feeling of loosing time when you work on a passion, let’s you know you are on the right path. ❤️❤️❤️

[@creationsceecee]

that was beautifully explained. thank you, Megan. wishing you a beautiful week ahead!

[@beccogiallo]

When I look for Bashar I get only the president of Siria. Is there more to his name?

[@Miastrong930]

Very soothing and beautiful.

[@Scrapitydoodah]

Both are beautiful CeeCee. Very relaxing to watch you create during this time of stress. I hope you’re doing ok xx

[@rebeccafiveash4335]

Both stunning mandalas but if I had to choose...I would love the 2nd one!!

[@beccogiallo]

I've painted and drawn mandalas before, but I want to try with your grid method, now that I know what the protractor is for! Both the ones you showed are beautiful.

[@swannwillow9476]

These are both GORGEOUS, but I like the first one just a bit more. But I have to add that I love just about everything you do!! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us 💛💚💙💜

[@lynette.]

If you do a pastel one you would have a tryptic .The gradual build is beautiful to watch . Thank you.

[@cherylcullen9087]

Hey CeeCee! Both pieces are so beautiful! The one you painted for this video is my favorite...but just as you said you wished you had stopped before adding the extra color, I agree with you! It has the bright colors but was still soft and calming. For me I think sometimes I don’t know when to stop! Anyway I enjoyed the video and the art you did! I think I will subscribe and see more of your work! Stay safe and healthy!

[@karenjohnson6487]

Awesome. I like both.

[@garimajung4994]

Very beautiful and takes one in that meditative state of mind where thought s don't bother at all.Thank u .u r my creative guru

[@kimharbaugh]

So beautiful 💕. Drawing, doodling while I’m listening is my favorite thing to do! I doodle during sermons when I’m not holding a squirming grandchild 😏, when I draw little pictures that go a long with the sermon my recall is phenomenal. When I go on trips and journal draw the trip I remember so many details, I really think teachers should incorporate drawing into lessons.

[@creationsceecee]

Love that! absolutely with you on drawing lessons in school! thank you for your lovely comment and have a beautiful day, Kim!

[@alberthastegmann6671]

So so beautiful. Your work rock!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@StarryDreamsArt]

This is spectacular! So beautiful. Love it very much. Thank you for sharing, beautiful artist!

[@jacquelinemcgowan533]

totally agree happy place and retreat, yes i need simplicity and have learnt to much of anything overwhelms me, doodling helps me listen otherwise i am to distracted, hope that makes sense, just found your channel yipee lv Jacqueline

[@jeuxtu29]

C'est magnifique !!! J'adore vos harmonies de couleur et votre imagination Quel talent.Superbe.... Michèle

[@donnabentley9723]

Just breathtaking I have done Mandela with my photography and watercolor thru filters but never by hand. This is my next project to try. Thank you so much

[@TariHuffaker]

Beautiful!! I hope you do more of these for us.

[@emmakrueger7704]

I love your work and your Spirit!

[@teresawebster3498]

I think it turned out pretty.

[@swanlady0922]

This could not have come at a better time I really have had a very difficult time feeling creative and I have had difficulty sleeping and when I do I have being having terrible nightmares. I wake up my daughter whom I live with. I have never had bad dreams always a very lucid dreamer but fun happy and pleasant. I know the answer to this is my creativeness thank you for the reminder and for sharing.

[@CatFromFL]

I find good cotton hot pressed paper works better because it’s smooth and nothing gets caught. Lettering and Mandela’s both do better for me on it. Especially when the last spaces are tiny.

[@krismua1209]

Love these! Beautiful colour combo in your first one.

[@ChelleWilson]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@leannclark9041]

The process of building that grid is amazingly helpful...THANKS CeeCee. I love them both and am anxious to give a mandala a try!!

[@jules3696]

Absolutely love it. Very calming. Definitely something that I would like to try. Thank you for sharing your work so willingly.

[@Angie_978]

This video was a perfectly lovely way to start the year. Thank you for teaching me this meditative lesson. May this new year be filled with joy and good health for you!

[@connieloe3618]

If you are so inclined, I would love to see more mandalas. These are just lovely!

[@lindaking9222]

Both are beautiful... the first one...more subtle

[@patriciabrowning2262]

Beautifully done

[@isabel_journals]

Loved both!

[@sueb7959]

Beautiful. You are so talented! Thank you for your creations and your mindfulness.

[@dianeblouin2176]

Étant moi-même fan de Mandalas , bien chapeau sister c’est une belle réussite, composition et couleur et on voit rarement des couleurs métalliques, bien toi tu a réussi à mettre la cerise sur le sundae comme on dit , bravo CeeCee xx

[@67melimel]

This was very soothing to watch with my Sunday cup of coffee. I love your work and enjoy seeing your creative process in action. I also love your use of gold shimmer and splashes. I may even try one or two of these in my watercolor sketchbook. Thank you for this video.

[@Kleonai]

I absolutely LOVE this!!

[@MsSbunney]

Fantastic colors❤️

[@corenefittos1737]

Love them both !

[@jackietolbert4822]

I see the gold paint name now in your list of supplies. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with all that helpful information on your projects.

[@emilybloom8066]

Lovely and I also understand the loosing yourself in the process being beneficial.

[@anjakritzelkram5544]

Beautiful pieces! I like to paint mandalas as well, but have an opposite approach. I start out with circles of watercolor and then add patterns with Aqua Drop, gouache, paintpens, gelpens aso. I paint or draw my mandalas most time freehand, it is relaxing nevertheless. But I need to try your version, I own square and even round watercolor paper which would be perfect.

[@soon_to_emerge]

I think you liked (and I as well) the first version more, because it was airy and light and fragile.

[@lindabrown1012]

Love this Ceecee, am off to find a compass and protractor!

[@tanjam.-k.2693]

A wonderful piece of art! The mandala is very beautiful and even watching the process of painting it was very relaxing. Thank you very much!

[@creationsceecee]

Thank you so much 😀

[@trudyzire]

This is such a gift to us! Thank you and please make more. It brought such peace at 2 am

[@cindycreateforlife]

I really enjoyed this video, and I agree that focusing on an art piece takes the mind away from the distractions of ‘real’ life. I don’t usually like silence, listening to music or audio is hearing creativity so it stimulates our creative brain, at least that is what I believe. Your piece turned out beautifully and I think you liked it more when it first dried because it was more ethereal. What I have observed in your art is that you like to leave something to the imagination so when it was fully defined you felt something different. I’m sure you felt happier once you added the gold, LOL! 😁 Thank you for demonstrating how to create mandalas and stay safe! 🙏🏼

[@milaronyartgallery4667]

Wow so beautiful painting. You talenteb.Amazing painting. 👌👌👌👌👌

[@creationsceecee]

Thank you so much 😀

[@cristinalattuada5322]

Beautiful work ❤️

[@fionaheale3939]

thanks for that Catherine..one of my favourite things to do to chillax....have sooo many of these, its embarrassing! lovely to see a different way of construction...very inspiring

[@creationsceecee]

thank you, Fiona! and please don't be embarrassed... these should be treasured!

[@lesafowers8142]

I just love this. So amazing!!!!!

[@angelaschultz4700]

You always amaze me.... so glad I’m in your space💓

[@Kathleenew]

Just lovely! I introduced simple mandalas to my elementary students--so many possibilities. You may also be interested in ZenTangles and Zendoodles. Thank you so much for sharing both of your mandalas!

[@susanmary4752]

Oh wow...I've been doing mandalas lately too but with metallic pens. Never thought to use my watercolour. Beautiful work as usual Ceecee. Thank you

[@judithlund4346]

Beautiful ........ and so relaxing to watch 🥰

[@creationsceecee]

Thanks so much 😊

[@g.g.armbruster4668]

Lovely! Your work is so calming, yet informative. Thank you for sharing this during such harsh times. 💜

[@vincegrey8718]

I know what you are trying to get at with the non precise idea. Maybe...think of it as that you are not making a "mechanically engineered perfect rendering". It has human life quality added to the piece. It vibrates and exudes life which has been imparted to the work. Very beautiful! Anybody with a spirograph or computer can make designs but you have created ART and it emits feeling and love for creating.

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

Wow, this is so beautiful. I love your work so much and thank you again for all the tutorials. Doodling and mandalas is so perfect a combination.❤️❤️❤️

[@nuna4307]

CeeCee awesome, I would like to give my hand at this, thank you for sharing.

[@katiesmith6178]

They're both lovely CeeCee! Thanks for much for your inspirations!!

[@arioctober7867]

I pretty much only do mandalas lately... Very therapeutic

[@dianemorin1466]

Très beau et j’admire ta grande patience 🥰

[@themeg5199]

Your work inspired me to start painting. I feel a lot better just playing around trying out new things!

[@creationsceecee]

Wonderful! have a beautiful and creative day, Megan!

[@thokchomjayshree8089]

It is beautiful. Thanks for showing the process. Would love to try it out.

[@kathyakadragonflysmiles301]

I truly adore your first one. The second one is beautiful but my internal response is not the same. I think it is because of that imperfect symmetry you were talking about. The first one has a feeling of flowing with the mandala structure anchoring it in the peacefulness. Love the experience.

[@albertine2169]

I so loved this video. Thank you so much for sharing. I think many of us feel as you described about the world just now. Really looking forward to trying this exercise.

[@brendapurdie4935]

Beautiful! Thank you.

[@goodboyim9660]

Both the Mandalas are perfectly beautiful.... They have a sense of tranquility which is exactly what I needed in such a situation... And thank u so much Ceecee... We look up to u for more such serene and creative contents... Luv u..

[@creationsceecee]

thank you so much for this lovely comment! wishing you a wonderful week.

[@peppamlowe]

Thank you so much CeeCee. I hang out for your creations... I love listening to your videos and have learned so much. Than you for this beautiful mandala lesson!

I like your work verry much greetings from Holland

[@darleneelizabethanna]

[@bethgoodhand8367]

Really lovely. Always look forward to your videos. They have sense of calm.

So beautiful! Thank you 😘

Wonderful gold!

[@sylvianebinz4731]

C’est très agréable et méditatif de faire ce mandala. Merci !

[@debaffleck443]

Loving what you are doing/creating, and what you are saying to explain your processes.... Esp your info about brain/self engagement while drawing, thank you 💚

[@creationsceecee]

I appreciate that comment. thank you, Deb!

[@lauriedunn6198]

Missed you last week! These are beautiful! I love this week's finished look, but sensed a distinct mood change as soon as you started with the darker more saturated color. I also doodle during sermons like a previous commenter and any class I want to remember

[@juliekraut7218]

I learn so much from you. Thanks. My Mandala’s are never uniform. This helped so much.

[@1229catwoman]

Beautiful, CeeCee! Thanks for your inspiration.

[@creationsceecee]

Thank you! 😊
