In the past I have always done my mandalas by starting with my homemade templates and a compass to make the grid. This is time consuming. So I decided to make the grid on my computer. I can print that grid out on what ever type of paper I want. The above mandala is on 140lb hotpress watercolor paper.
In the above picture you can see the grid lines that were printed closeup. So I am printing it with even fainter lines.
Here is my next Mandala that I have started.
After I get all the line work done and colored in, I think the faint printed lines you won't be able to see.
Thanks for looking!
