Mandala Painting Tutorial | Canvas Wall Art

I put out a poll and you voted for Canvas and here it is! My first mandala tutorial on canvas! I used red acrylic paint with my favorite champagne gold and neutrals! I love the way it turned out! I had literally zero plans for this canvas so you get to see the entire process! If you have any questions just let me know! I had loads of fun doing this so perhaps there will be more in the future? What do you think?

Wow, do you really think so?!?! Thank you ♥️ I’m so glad there’s people like you to sturdy my stance when I’m feeling unsure 🩷🤗

[@raeleeninNC]

Excellent tutorial. Glad you showed how to use things that are homemade

[@JaDeLRocks]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much. If I could afford to buy everything I need for new projects I probably would. However, I rarely think to look. I just grab whatever and make it work. This DIY thingy is a keeper this time.

Wow! You really are resourceful! You're dotting completely differently than the "norm". I never thought to do half of the different techniques you're doing. Good for you! That's how inventions are made. You should patent that little centimeter gadget at the beginning of your video that helps you draw circles. Tweek it a bit -- I don't know how, but I'm sure you will figure it out. Way to go!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awww thanks Nancy ♥️ I think this might be the result of teaching myself. Sometimes my ideas work out and sometimes.. well?? Not so much 😂😂😂 You know what’s neat about my DIY thing… if you use the first hole on one end as your center it will make guidelines twice this size.

Pretty JaDel! I do have a little hint for you, prior to painting and drawing your on the canvas, spray the underside with warm water. Sometimes the canvases are not tight and flimsy. Spray then wait, thump it to see that it’s as tight as a drum head. ❤ this is a beautiful piece

[@designbyandrews3191]

You are very creative; you do not need to apologize for not having formal training. I, too had my own “private niche” style when I went for “formal training.” I was on “scholarship.” My chosen schools did not change what I was doing; I did learn foundation in various art and design techniques which expanded what I do: They can’t teach you imagination and creativity-no one can. That is innate to you. Creativity and imagination: you are born with this-it is your gift, and what a wonderful gift. You are an artist-even more so: you are willing to share this gift! Absolutely Good Karma. You are a mentor. When you share your gift you gain spiritually and artistically and are always ahead of the curve. Formal training cannot teach this. And scholarship: it’s what you can do for the institution-never what they can do for you. I have three children all artists from birth. Two went to school on scholarship; the other has done commissioned portraiture since 14 years old. No art school would take him…”we can’t teach him anything. He paints like an old master. We don’t have any faculty member that paints like him!” He received a 4-year scholarship to an academic university and graduated with a degree in computer science! Yes artists are naturally also gifted in math and science! So you see I was blessed through acts of good works, sharing what I know, and my parents did the same. We lead a Bohemian lifestyle.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I love this! It sounds like a beautiful lifestyle. Thank you so much for sharing all of this. What a wonderfully sweet note of inspiring words for me, Thank you ♥️

[@pattikelleher4310]

How are you able to prevent cracking or drag lines in your teardrops and larger dotted swoops? I end up with lines and cracks.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I only get cracks if I use certain paints. If yours are cracking then it might be a cheaper brand of paints or super dry climate? Try mixing some slow dry by liquitex. I have some listed on my website. That’ll make it dry slower. Im in humidity. As far as lines.. the slow dry may help that too. I use a lot of paint. Try it and see if it helps. Im sure others will chime in with help too. My cracking paint was apple barrel pastel colors… like any of the white base mattes.

[@pattikelleher4310]

Thank you. I will have to try the slow dry by liquitex. I am in a dry climate. I notice it most on the DecoArt titanium white.

[@JaDeLRocks]

@@pattikelleher4310 I notice it most with white too. People will tell you your paint is drying too fast but that made no sense to me. It’s correct but misleading. I have no knowledge of why but it seems like the whiter the paint… the better chance of cracks. The apple barrel white and pastels do this every time for me. But their multi surface doesn’t? Something in the ingredients. My advice… find a good white that doesn’t crack and use it to make pastels. Or hopefully the slo-dry will work. Good luck.. 🤞🏻

[@sharonkloter1687]

Hi there! My first time here. Great job! I’ve been wanting to do a square canvas. You have inspired me. I saw a quick blurb on the dilution of the paint. But couldn’t find it when I looked back. Can you share that here? Thanks.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Hi Sharon and welcome 🤗 I’m so glad you found my channel and are inspired ♥️ I’m not entirely clear what you’re looking for… but I’m a good guesser 😂 Sometimes I do thin my paint a little. I’d say 90 % of the time I use it straight out of the bottle but it might begin to dry a bit after a couple hours, maybe my paint is old or maybe a less expensive brand.. or whatever reason my paint feels to thick to glide around. At that point I will dilute with flow aid. There’s links to it on my site and in the description. Basically, I use 20 parts water to 1 part of the flow aid and keep it in that purple dropper bottle you may see me use in my videos. I use that mixture to thin my paint. It makes the paint more fluid and let’s it.. well .. flow better. I usually add 3 to 10 drops in my paint in the wells of the palette. Mix slow so I don’t cause a ton of bubbles and tap my palette a few times to get out the inevitable bubbles. I almost always show it when I thin my paint. I sure hope this makes sense and helps. Typing my thoughts isn’t my strongest talent 😂😂😂 Let me know if you need anything I’m never too far ♥️♥️♥️

I've watched a couple of others. I realize it would be all too easy to go down a rabbit hole forever, so I'm just going to watch you. I love your color choices and designs. Question: When you started, did you have to practice making the swooshes? I imagine you had to play around with the sizes, etc. Are there tutorials that concentrate on the basics? Once again, thank you for my morning meditation.🙏

[@JaDeLRocks]

@elenalatici9568 welcome 🤗 I’m thrilled you’re here. I did have to practice. I still think I’m practicing 😂😂😂. In the end I think thinning my paint and slowing way down was key!! I have a video where I slow it down but dog gone it I can’t remember which it was. I should make a tutorial on what I’ve learned but practice was key and still is, LOL.

[@msm1096]

Did you mix any medium to bring this consistency in your paints ? TIA

[@JaDeLRocks]

Any time I use flo aid I show it. I’m fairly sure I didn’t use any on this. Let me check the description I’ll be back in a minute…

[@JaDeLRocks]

There is flow aid in the description and at the end of the video in the supplies. But I just skimmed thru the video and didn’t see me use it. However! It looks like o didn’t add anything until about 2 hours into painting. I can see my paint wells look stirred. So, apparently I did use it as my paints began to dry. I probably didn’t show it because the paint was fine out of the bottle. I always use the flow aid as the directions on the bottle say and I add several drops when needed and stir. I’m so glad you asked this. Thank you ♥️

I DON'T HAVE THAT STENCIL IT IS HARD TO FIND IT HERE IN Costa Rica how do I make the lines? Thanks

[@JaDeLRocks]

Let me measure them out with a protractor for you.. I’ll reply again soon..

[@JaDeLRocks]

Using my protractor that I found after buying a new one.. it says my marks are at 0, 22, 45, 68, 90…. They are roughly 22.5° apart.

[@JaDeLRocks]

You can probably order the stencil on Etsy… Try Happy Dotting Company on Etsy or Amazon.

[@elizabethmccabe]

What Can I use if I do not have a stencil?

[@JaDeLRocks]

You can use a protractor? Just make a mark every 22 degrees? I think technically it's 22.5 but I'm not positive. I got this stencil from Happy Dotting Company. I love it. You can get it on Etsy or Amazon or Message Anjela directly and she might have a better way depending on your area. She's one of the nicest people you'll meet.

[@elizabethmccabe]

Thank you so much for your advice 🥰

Nice work. Dixie cup circles are not in the same place in 4 quadrants.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I think I squeezed one 🤗 Thank you ♥️ I also think that’s why the mistake. I’m so glad you liked it. I might need a better stencil eh?? 😂😂

אני רוצה ללמוד את זה. להרשם לקורס...היכן לומדים???

I am self taught so I’m not sure where you can get courses. Search for beginners videos to get started watching how to paint mandalas. Here’s one I made a long time ago… kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5nQeZaVqbChjNk kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV7Ul3itqpWLfpI

How to sell and fix price of our artwork

[@JaDeLRocks]

I sell my art online and at craft fairs. Pricing is hard. Try calculating the hours you spent multiplied by a reasonable hourly wage. You can always reduce a price but it’s hard to raise one respectfully.

Twoje mandale są cudne , a sposób przekazywania wiedzy jaką posiadasz rewelacyjny ... dziękuję za inspirujące pomysły ... 😍😍😍

@@JaDeLRocks i did and all the captions say is music

[@JaDeLRocks]

@@starrspoter I typically only talk at the beginning and end. During the video I show you the paint color I’m using and the tool size. You’re not missing anything. What were you hoping for? This might be just the feedback I need to help a little more with my videos. What would be your ideal tutorial? Thank you for Caring enough to tell me your thoughts. I appreciate it. ♥

[@sheilalopez3983]

Doesn't a Mandela tutorial kind of defeat the purpose??

[@JaDeLRocks]

The purpose of what?

[@sheilalopez3983]

@@JaDeLRocks the purpose of a spontaneous reaction of thought. Change your name you are dense as h*ll.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I think it’s all in how you look at it. The purpose of this video, the purpose of my painting, and even the purpose of my channel is to teach and share with others an art that has been therapeutic to me over the years. My aim is to give you the tools to do the same. I’m showing people how I create my art and I really hope through that process they can create art too. I once started out by practicing and learning from others too. I hope you reconsider your thoughts and unkind words. I’m only trying to help others through an art form that has helped me throughout the worst times. Kindness is for everyone ♥️ I wish you well Shelia but I’m going to leave my name the way it is.

[@katguyot6351]

Are you dense or something? ALL of us dot artists have learned a massive amount from JaDel. You “obviously” are not an artist, but you should either TRY IT YOURSELF or go troll elsewhere. Have a nice day 😂
