How to do blending and shading with colour pencils. Art therapy series # 28. Basic mandala colouring. Hello everyone! Welcome to my channel and this art therapy series. Every Sunday I bring a new mandala design video. You can just watch this satisfying video of designing and colouring or you can follow the step by step process of this therapeutic and meditative process of mandala drawing. Today I am showing how I do the shading and blending with pencil colours. I am colouring a very basic mandala that is very good for beginners. The word “mandala” comes from the ancient Sanskrit word signifying “circle.” The meaning of mandalas, however, extends far beyond their simple shape. Mandalas represent the wholeness of life, and the unity that exists among living beings and the world in which we all exist. They play a role within many spiritual traditions, and can be found within a variety of cultures. Mandalas are all around us; they take the form of a pattern that has a circle within a circle. Creating a mandala can provide a pathway to meditation and centring, giving the artist a focal point to direct his or her energy and thought. The act of drawing, painting or otherwise creating a mandala can also teach essential self-soothing skills. In other settings, mandalas can be used in conjunction with other exercises to facilitate emotional expression, and can give the artist the visual representation of a confined arena in which to place his or her anxieties, frustrations, fear or anger. It's a simple tool that doesn't require any expertise, but it can be remarkably soothing and nourishing. Mandalas not only focus your attention but also allow you to express your creative side, which many of us neglect in our daily lives. _______________________________________________________________ Facebook- https://m.facebook.com/sarikazcreatio...
