Art is something that makes you breathe a different kind of happiness - Anni Albers . I wholeheartedly agree with this. Have you ever seen art that makes you almost cry? 😄 I have. .

Never thought I'd ever find myself at home on Thursday night playing with my paints, yet here we are. . Pre-covid my art days were on weekdays and on Thursday I pack up my stuff, put it away for the weekend. Take it all out again soon as the kids are off to school once the weekend is over. . But now its turned all upside down. Weekday is practically no art days, maybe a couple of digital doodles while the kids have their virtual lessons. Come Thursday I pull out my paints and markers. 😅😅 . How is your Thursday night looking? Movie marathons? Going out? Or for those living elsewhere, probably early night coz work. 🤔 . . . . . . . #impasto #impastopainting #3dflowers #paletteknife #paletteknifepainting #paletteknifeart #impasto #mandala #mandala_sharing_ #zendisaa2020 #flowermandala #mandala #jeddahart #jeddah (at Jeddah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPxfiMjM4-/?igshid=1bele412wmmlg

Hello folks. Here is my top four tips to create the perfect mandala 1. Make sure you get your grid down perfectly. It is tricky but can be done. The grid is the backbone to your mandala, so get it right. Keep your pencils sharp and work slowly. 2. Plan out your mandala. Map out exactly what you want on each circle. You can draw the entire thing in pencil first , or just draw one segment of each step only. When you are all done, then you go back and ink. I do this mostly when I am doing a commissioned work. 3. Speed. I cannot stress this enough. When inking, go slow. Dont let all the #hyperlapses you see on IG fool you. Those are there to show you 10 hours of work squeezed in 1 minute. Draw slowly!! 4. When you're adding color, never just wing it. Find out what colors work harmoniously together. Even if you have to make a copy of your mandala and do some rough coloring, go ahead and do that. I figure out my color palette digitally, and then use the same colours on my paper. . Hope you enjoyed these tips. Let me know what else you would like to know in the comments below. .

I've never drawn something like this before. And the funny thing is, no matter how many mandalas I draw, everytime I draw one after a while, it evolves into something completely different. 😅 • • • • • • • • #mandalahowto #mandala #mandalatimelapse #mandalamaster #mandala101 #mandala_sharing_ #mandala_universe #mandalaforever #doodle #blackandwhite #blackartwork #blackart #lineart #linework #pigmamicron #pigma #micron #micronart #floralsyourway #jeddah #saudiarabia #mandalaartist #mandalapatterns #unipin #karinmarkers (at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcAA3SDwdG/?igshid=bsvumowyx46i

I was reading on the Velcro-Teflon effect today and found it fascinating. It is about how we react to the negative and positive in our lives. . We always forget the good things that happened, and remember the not so good with so much more clarity. The negative sticks to us like Velcro. You'll remember all the bad experiences from many years ago, but the positive habits, the positive experiences, they slide right off, just like as if its on Teflon (the non stick stuff on pans) Its human nature. It's what has always happened and what will keep happening. . One of the ways to change this and to tap into your happy thoughts is to spend couple of minutes a day to contemplate about the things that have been good, to be mindful and to be actively grateful for everything that is going right for you. Nothing fancy, just small things like, I had a good breakfast this morning. 🥪 or I got to drink my coffee while it was still warm today ☕ (all food related but you get the idea.) . Tell me one thing that's been good today. Me, I managed to do 30 mins of yoga in the morning 💖 . If you want to know more about this Velcro-Teflon effect , there is a TED talk about it. I'm sure he explains it better 😀 . . . . #mandala #mandala_sharing #mandalahowto #mandalagrid #mandaladoodles #mandalapattern #mandalapatterns #saudiarabia #jeddahartist #ilovesharingmandala #mandala_addict #zendoodle #zendisaa2020 #zendoodle #zendala #zentanglepatterns #zen #velcrotefloneffect #happiness #artistoninstagram #micronart #pigmamicron @micronart #sakurapigmamicron (at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEW1UDmDDvP/?igshid=1f5pjh9hpjbj

Who wants to see a side view of this? 😍 . Been experimenting a lot these days. First off I'm glad I'm having the time for that, because once online school starts, I doubt that would be possible.

Oh no! The mandala is melting in this scorching summer heat. Summer in the middle east is hard, and I'm super glad we aren't socially obligated to be going out. 🤣 How has the summer heat been where you are from? • Thoughts on the mandala? Had my doubts while making it, but I think it came out alright.

Who likes to watch paint drip? So I wanted to throw paint on a canvas yesterday. And pushed through and did it. The throwing itself might not have been all that, but. . but. . It got my creativity going. I got idea after idea just flowing through me. Alhamdulillah. It felt good • So a tip for you, if you feel stuck with your art, throw some paint on a canvas. Maybe it will help. 💖 • Drop me a comment down below about any other wacky things to do that might help . . hope you have a great day 😎 (at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_pFIKj4m6/?igshid=1nadvqllcj0mt

So just something I've been thinking about. Most of the people I follow on Instagram are artists of various kinds, and included in that is a big chunk of mandala artists. I follow them to show them support, like "hey we are in this together yea" kinda thing. But at times it also feels like, their styles creep into my style. Unconsciously of course. I just see the art while scrolling and admire it , tap a heart, leave a comment and move on, but later when I'm drawing it will come to haunt me (so to speak) 🤣. So sometimes I go around and "mute" a lot of artists 🙈 and at times I think twice before i follow someone, specially if i feel their art my influence my art heavily. I hate that it happens, but guess that is part of it too. I want to create genuine art that's from me 100%, but then again, we are all heavily influenced by what we see around us right? Oh well! Any thoughts on this? Do you experience this? Does it bother you? • • • • • • • • • •#mandala #jeddah #jeddahartist #saudiarabia #ilovesharingmandala #mandala_addict #mandaladoodles #doodle #zendisaa2020 #zentangletutorial #zendoodle #doodles #doodleart #pigmamicron #micron #artistoninstagram #journal #journalart #artistunited #tangle (at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDJq-BAjcTf/?igshid=p47x1lo4tqv8

I did a bit of warming up, and thought I'd share it here. It has been so long since I shared a mandala timelapse. Granted this isn't much. But let's start somewhere, shall we? 😅😬 • I always love watching mandala timelapses, something soothing about the repetition of the same lines over and over again.
