Introduction: Pointillism Mandala
Hi! I'm going to show you that technique called pointillism. There are different ways to do it, but in this case I'm going to make a mandala with rainbow colors.
Supplies
- Round canvas
- Acrylic paint: black, white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple
- Compass
- Pencil
- Brush
- Ruler
- Paint roller
- Some materials to make points like: markers (different sizes, glue stick, etc)
- Paper sheet
Step 1: Black
Paint the entire canvas black to bring out the colors. Let it dry.
Step 2: Center
I didn't know how to mark the center of the canvas, so I copied the silhouette, cut, folded twice and cut the tip. I put it on top and marked the center.
Step 3: Circles
Make circles by placing the point of the compass in the center. This will serve as a guide.
Step 4: Start Painting in White
To make the points, get enough paint, put the marker perpendicular to the canvas and go down. We will start with the center.
Step 5: Red
Make circles around the white point following the guide.
Step 6: Orange
Make sure that you are doing simetrically.
Step 7: Yellow
Try that the points of the same circle are equal.
Step 8: Little White Points
Add these little details in white.
Step 9: Green
The points are getting bigger.
Step 10: Blue
Step 11: Purple and White Details
Finish! I hope you like. Remember that you can do it on any surface: on paper, on wood, in a square, in a pentagon, etc.
