This beautiful mandala captures the beauty of nature in a rainbow of colors. The central flower has eight petals and the eight surrounding flowers each have six petals. Connecting these flowers are smaller four petalled flowers adding an extra layer of detail. The whole piece is framed with a symmetrical design of geometric shapes in all hues. To paint this, use different shades of the same color family to create nice tonal contrasts. For a more daring look choose vibrant colors that contrast, but harmoniously complement each other. Experiment with adding color and pattern to the geometric shapes to create unique effects.
