Painting Mandala Art on Canvas

The canvas is homemade by my husband, Randy. He used duck cloth and 2x2 inch white lumber to create a 4x4 foot frame with a cross brace in the middle.Then he sealed it with two coats of latex primer.


We drew the design with pencil and used blue painter's tape to create sharp, straight edges.

I cut a heart template from lightweight cardboard and laid it evenly spaced around the center. Here, I am painting the hearts to look like lotus flowers.

Next, I painted the purple circle and the center eye.



After painting the edges, Randy taped off the narrow line for the green border.


Here is the final product hanging in our living room.
