Mandala Wall Art

[@deependragupta1933]

Mandala is a sacred Indian drawing. Love from India.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! this is magical!!!!

[@komalpahuja8552]

Awesome 👌 👌 very beautifullll n attractive.. Adorable... Great work you are 🤚 really fantabulous ☺️ 👍

[@MO-ws2tn]

You are amazing. The free hand circularity. Great.

[@PeteTevonian]

While I love compliments, I have to confess I did use a measuring stick to help draw even circles! They are so important to the overall balance that I didn’t trust my own eye/hand. You can see faint guidelines for the circles at various points in the video. Thanks for watching.

[@MO-ws2tn]

@@PeteTevonian That's cool. I do the same things. If there's a repeat, it's the basic layout on a template of dots or as few lines as possible. Then the rest is free hand......like you.

[@cosmicreef5858]

Es lo mejor que he visto en Mandalas! Muchas felicidades y abrazos

[@theartproject]

The paint first in the background is a great idea. I am going to borrow it for my next one. my first mandala pales in comparison.

[@PeteTevonian]

Yes, much easier to paint the background first, rather than trying to fill in the drawing later! And I like the sort of organic feeling the blended, uneven colors provide.

[@jannicket.6133]

Wow, this is great. I love the colors you've used as a background. I might have to try this too. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@PeteTevonian]

Thanks, J T. I did one sample drawing on an art pad to get an idea for what types of shapes I liked best, which I recommend. I think it saved me some frustration by helping me avoid designs that didn't work as well. Good luck!

[@omshivani]

Thank you it’s gorgeous. What kind of marker were you using for the black outlines? How many pens did you go through? Gratitude.

[@PeteTevonian]

The markers I used were a 2mm and a 15mm Montana acrylic markers. They are refillable and you can buy new tips if they wear down. Amazingly, that entire mandala was done with those two markers. The 2mm was getting a little low on paint by the end, but if I turned the pen tip down, and shook it a bit, it would come right back to a dark black line. Highly recommended. They are nothing like a Sharpie -- the black is pure and smooth and just flows out.

[@Rose44200]

I did the same on A4 paper. Thank you great job

[@omshivani]

Thank you so much for the marker details. I’m very interested in trying my hand with those. Again, LOVED your mandalas!

I checked the Elsa Rhae video and although it is nice, I like yours better. =)

[@komalpahuja8552]

Which colours u used on walls acrylic colour?? Which type of markers ll work here... Please tell ☺️ 👍

[@PeteTevonian]

The background grey/blue was just some old latex house paint I had left over -- I don't know the colors. The orange, pinks and purples were Liquitex acrylics that I had in my paint box at the time -- I don't recall the specific hues, but any orange pink and purple would have worked. The pens are Montana acrylic markers in 2mm and 15mm sizes. They are great.

[@magalissalazar]

nice work

[@jude7321]

OK, I got it, you're showing off your beautiful handiwork but nobody can learn from what you're doing because you're going so fast. I thought this was going to be a learning video thank you

[@PeteTevonian]

Hi Jude, thanks for your comment. I see what you're saying -- it would be hard to learn any particular technique from this. Maybe you could get some ideas about the color background, or scale, maybe see some things you like or dislike. When I started recording, it was just to see what a time lapse of this process would look like. I had never done a wall art project, so wasn't going into it thinking I would teach anybody anything -- I'm still no expert, and wouldn't presume to try teaching this skill. But when it was done, I thought it was pretty fun to watch, so I posted it. And I've tried to answer questions that were asked, in case the answers were useful to someone. If I did these projects frequently, or even if I did another one, I would perhaps feel more confident stopping along the way and explaining what I was doing, or my process. Still, if it isn't a great teaching tool, I hope it's at least entertaining. Take care.

[@VIBRATIONSTATIONMUSICANDARTbyT]

[@Lyn4817]

Mandalas and Zentangle has taken art to a completely new level, allowing far more people to become artists. Great work Pete, an inspiration to so many of us. I picked the false wall from the start, making this an amazing artistic feat. How many hours did it take you btw? Brilliantly done and thanks so much for sharing.

[@PeteTevonian]

Total time was about 8 hours over 3 nights. Each morning my kids would come down, see what was done, and offer suggestions. Thanks for watching!

[@louiseturner8082]

Hi Pete, very inspiring indeed! Did you use any measurements at all for distances or symmetry? Especially of the circles! I would like to try myself !! Thanks for any advice :)

[@PeteTevonian]

Hi Louise, thanks! I used a wooden yard stick that I drilled holes in at various points to use as a big compass for the circles. Some organic randomness is good, I think, but the circles are critical for symmetry. For the rest of the elements, I would occasionally use my hands or fingers as rough measuring guides to know how tall to make a loop. For some elements I would Mark the top, bottom, left and right points on the circle, and then maybe the in-between points, too, as guides for how wide to make a loop or curve, to help them all end up about the same size and shape. I think a big part of this project for me was that I knew it was a temporary wall, so I didn’t worry about a lot of details or making it perfect. Starting with a somewhat sloppy, drippy, smeary background of colors also helps set the tone that randomness is good, and it distracts the eye a bit from little wiggles in lines or uneven curves. I made plenty of “mistakes” that either resulted in me making a line thicker to hide it, or just shrugging and moving on. Those inconsistencies just show the “hand of the artist”. Celebrate them!

[@laxime28]

Bellísimo!!!

[@rehamartworktutorials5006]

You are professional in mandala.. I'm also drawing a mandala

[@jihanelbanna751]

Wow ..that's amazingbut I wanted to see all details of drawing

[@DreamingCatStudio]

Beautiful! Awesome! Did you trace the circles first? I can't imagine doing them freehand. This makes me very happy. Thank you!

[@PeteTevonian]

Thanks, DreamingCatStudio! Yes, I used a yard stick with some holes drilled to give myself guides for the circles first. Everything starts from them in this style of mandala, so they really need to be good. I think a little wiggle in the lines that comes naturally from going back over the guidelines adds a more organic feeling, but they can't be lopsided or else everything else gets lopsided, too!

[@cynthiagironduigan1324]

Is impressive , thank you for creating a inspiration in my life. Which markers did you use. You rock.

[@PeteTevonian]

Thank you! The markers I used were a 2mm and a 15mm Montana acrylic markers. Highly recommended.

[@cynthiagironduigan1324]

Pete thank you so much. For many years I doubt that I can draw and two week ago I started, and for the first time in my live, I feel proud of myself and with motivation to get more inspired with all of your artists.

[@linal1488]

Realmente es un espectáculo verte

[@TheDev1976]

How you are drawing the circles so easily? Without any tool

[@PeteTevonian]

I DID use a tool! I used a long wooden ruler with holes drilled in it to act as a giant compass, to sketch the circles. If you look closely in the video, you can see faint lines for the circles. The rest is freehand, but the circles are too important, and too hard to draw perfectly.

[@TheDev1976]

@@PeteTevonian lovely pete, your art is so impressive, I also make such art, but never have done on wall directly, so after watching your video I too have started, thanks.

[@Nicoleclog]

Wow beautiful , how long did it take you ?

[@PeteTevonian]

All together, probably 10 or 12 hours. I worked after my kids bedtime for a few hours each night, and then heard their reactions and comments the next day. It was fun!

[@mattmobbs2205]

I liked ur video

[@RazzLerSkedaddLer]

Wait...I came across this video while looking at stencil videos so it took me way to long to realize you didn't even use a stencil until you ventured off to the right with a new drawing. Come by my place and do my ceiling PLEASE lol

[@PeteTevonian]

A ceiling would be awesome, but I think it would be hard! One ways I keep my lines even remotely even and smooth is by resting the heel of my hand or my wrist on the wall. Then moving my finger or wrist is sort of a controlled motion. Trying to draw straight up would be WAY harder. Maybe I'd pull a Michelangelo and get a scaffold way up high and lie on my back to do it. It would still be hard on the arm muscles!

[@sxns.e]

Awesome

[@poyanijhala7618]

Hei... Awesome art!! How much time did it take to complete the same??

[@PeteTevonian]

Hi, thanks. It took about 10 hours over three nights. I'd paint one night, then stop for the night. Then the next day keep going. That built in some time to think about what to do next, without doing it all in one session.

[@nazifatasnimmouri7238]

Very beautiful!! How did you paint the background orange ish part?

[@PeteTevonian]

I started with some white, grey and blue house paints that I had samples of lying around. I added some blobs of acrylic Liquitex artist paint to make the orange/yellow and pink/purple shades. Basically, I started with a bright circle and painted with a circular brush motion, using a wide (2") round brush. Then painted rays radiating out from the middle. I knew it would eventually be a flower shape, and I intentionally didn't keep the colors very smooth or even. The variability of the colors would make it feel more organic. Hope this helps!

[@claireknowles6377]

Fantastic, shame it's temporary

[@PeteTevonian]

Thanks, Claire! Yes, as it happens, the wall has already been removed and tossed. I thought briefly about keeping it, or a section of it, but I think part of how it turned out was due to me not worrying too much about every detail of the design, so it was able to be a little more organic. And not worrying stemmed from knowing it wasn't permanent. So to stay true to the original theme, I decided to let it go. I'm pretty sure I'll do another one, but I'll be curious to see how it turns out!

Hi Milena. That was my first (and only, so far) Mandala wall painting. I did a sketch on paper first, to get some ideas for shapes. It took me about 10 hours over three nights, from blank wall to finished. And then a month later the workmen tore it down in about 3 minutes. :)

NEVAAA DID YOU SAY THIS WAS TEMPORARY !!!!

[@PeteTevonian]

The third word in the opening-screen text says "temporary"! I've said in a couple other comments that I think the temporaryness (is that a word) was important. If this was intended to be a permanent addition to the house, I'd have been much more nervous and careful and analytical and I think it would have (a) probably paralyzed me from ever starting, and (b) robbed it of much of the spontaneous, organic character. There's probably a lesson there: learn to work with spontaneity and don't worry so much, and the results will likely have a lot more warmth and life. It's not a lesson I've learned well, though, at least not yet!
