Really beautiful tutorial! Your voice is the equivalent to the voice of the oil painter...slow, soothing voice! Loved watching ...excellent tutorial and dragonflies just happen to be my favorite! Can’t wait to try this method of Mandala painting on rocks! Thank you for teaching us! I look forward to seeing more videos from you, like this!

[@joancook8454]

Miranda Pitrone , I’m much much older than you, I grew up watching Bob Ross on public television. That was back in the day of roof top antenna’s and only three major channels. 😂 LOL . Great video

[@Wildflower1880]

Thank U so very much for making this Mandala so simply & easy & W/Out lines. I always feel like I'm a failure when I can't get mine to stay W/In the lines & I've tried 4 & 5 times starting over & over again trying to have mine look a little bit like the ones that they R making & only to be so disappointed & very unhappy in the end. U'r an AMAZING WOMEN & I can't THANK U enough for helping me to see that I can do these crazy MANDALA's that have gripped my heart. I'd love to learn how to create my own, but I don't have a clue how to go about starting. I look forward to seeing more of Ur's done W/Out lines either on rocks/canvas/ or wood.

[@MirandaPitrone]

I am not the best at using guidelines either...I need to be free..haha. you got this...many of mine are with out guidelines...I hope you enjoy them as much as you did this one💚💜💙🍃

You start in the center and see where it takes you😉💚

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I just ordered the metallic paints from Amazon today. They are very pretty. I understand the obsession! You are teaching me so much. I’m having a great time creating mandalas. Once again, thank you.

[@MirandaPitrone]

Fantastic!! They are so versatile...especially coming into the Christmas season!!

[@theasignalman7123]

Sleepless nights I so enjoy your demonstrations of a very meditative art form. I purchased some tools and paint. Practice is disappointing, paint texture ect. Novice entranced by simplicity! Your work is exquisite!😇💘

[@MirandaPitrone]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Please don't be disheartened by practice. You're absolutely right pink texture plays a huge part. It has to be a little bit thinner and the dots will basically form themselves. Then it's up to you just to do spacing. Some people find help from guidelines or stencils to start out. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help

[@MsSylvana63]

Marinda love your videos, you're such a good teacher.... This is the first time I've done mandalas, and am throughly enjoying😊Just got back from Walmart with "16 L wrenches for1.98" they are Great!!!!!! Like the curved brush, but in various sizes they allow you to see exactly where you are placing the dot.....They are 6 sided, but they make a circle once the have enough paint on the end...I am amazed at how uniform the dots are!!! Thanks so much for all the time and knowledge you share.....Lovely!!!🌻

[@MirandaPitrone]

that is very creative and effective!! awesome!!

Miranda, have you tried a short bristle script liner brush for your lines? Super thin and so easy to use. You might want to check that brush out. It's one of my favorites for lines like you do on this demo.

[@Yourloverx0x0]

How do you design the mandalas before painting? I'm having a hard time imagining a pattern on the fly when I make mine

[@MirandaPitrone]

I usually do Not design them...I start will a color palette that I want to paint with, begin in the center and then work my way out adding dots as the space allows💖 If you are looking for a more structured time painting, there are many stencils on the market for guides. Some people find it helpful to place guidelines down before they begin.💖
