nature mandala

To make this nature mandala I used a stick and negative lines in the sand. I started with a central circle and slowly added shapes similar to flower petals radiating from the center. I then went back and added details within the central circle and and the surrounding "petals".

With the harsh light the dark lines contrast agents the lighter sand. I also used form and line to create a central ballance or emphasis.

I am most proud of the location i chose for it embodies the idea of nature mandalas, it's there when you make it but soon to be crushed by waves and people . One aspect I struggled with was making a nice cercle, I fixed this byo going slower and walking with the stick I was using to draw. Next time I think I will try to make the lines more neet, hear the sand got all jaggedy around the lines.
