Celtic Knot Mandala
On Feb 15, I started coloring a new mandala design I created for a couple getting married this summer (2008). It lacks an official mandala name at the moment; by the time I finish, it will. The design is 8" diameter in size on 15" square paper.
The first phase of coloring is the background which has a graduated coloring from dark blue in the center to light blue around the outside. During this first session, I put a light layer of prismacolor true blue all around the background and started another layer (left side only) with prismacolor copenhagen blue.
Today, Feb 17, I finished the background (for now, I may go back later to add more color). I used prismacolor copenhagen blue and indigo blue. With the background complete, the design becomes more visible.
The blue of this mandala represents loyalty.
I began the inner red circuit of the celtic knot, using scarlet lake and black cherry with little lines of white highlight.
