Hand painted mandalas

[akky]

I think they would make great jig saw puzzles

Wow, this thread has blossomed since I have been away. There are fractals, nature brushes, flowers and even a tutorial. Thank you all for joining in and making this a fun thread. It's been a real pleasure seeing what everybody is producing.

[Erisian]

Thanks to sallyanne for the links to the fractal brushes

[Erisian]

Not entirely hand painted as I used paths and gradients.

Erisian, really nice! Love them all, especially the middle one with the purple.

Glad you both like them. Here is some more purple.

Erisian, They are great, I love your rich colouring

[Erisian]

Nice image teapot. It's making me hungry though!

[Issabella]

Me, too. teapot, it seems sweet.
Erisian, beautiful mandalas in nice colours.
I created a brush similar yours and then played with it. Thanks for your idea.

[sallyanne]

How about a mandala made out of fire!

Neat outcomes everybody

Here is one for Anmal - I tried to do this one using 'symmetry painting' but it kept clipping/deforming the brushes, so I used Tin's 'Mura Meister Copies' script instead

I am complexed by seeing what you realize..but never mind, I do at my level!

This is nice. Lots of detail and colour.

Issabella and sallyanne - beautiful images.

Following the issues I had with brushes (see my previous post) I decided to try symmetry painting again with a variety of 'home made brushes'. Several times I obtained clipped/deformed results but found that switching symmetry on/off seemed to fix it.

In my garden,I have what is commonly known as a flowering gum tree (corymbia ficifolia), so I used images from it to create brushes, being gum leaf shapes (which I then painted), gum nuts and flower heads. Anyway here is the result, no other scripts used just symmetry in mandala mode. Oh and I put the gum leaf fairy in for good measure!

This is really beautiful OMG. I would love that on my wall together with Issabella's

[Issabella]

Wow! I love your creations. Beautiful results of you all. Sallyanne, OMG, Level 10, to you all
Erisian, you are so artistic and creative. Your creations are always a reference to the forum.

[teapot]

Lovely results everyone, you are all so creative.

Really lovely OMG. I've also seen symmetry painting clipping brushes but, when making my own brushes, got round it by making a big transparent border around the brush that's big enough for the brush to be rotated to any position. The issue has been fixed in 2.10.12. See here:

(That said I've had to back out of using 2.10.12 as I've been having other problems since attempting upgrades).
