The mandala can be seen as a visual representation of the universe, showing us how all things are interconnected. It is a meditative art form that requires patience, practice, and perseverance. Visual artist Lizzie Snow specializes in creating intricate patterns which have seen her collaborate with brands like Apple, Lululemon, and Converse.

In this online course, Lizzie teaches you how to paint detailed mandalas of your own. Discover archival techniques for creating long-lasting, professional-quality artwork and explore the infinite possibilities of these unique patterns.

This is Lizzie’s second Domestika course. In her first, The Art of Mandala Drawing: Create Geometric Patterns, she teaches you how to draw mandalas as a beginner using ink, hatching, linework, and stippling techniques.
