my own designs, the first one based on a mandala I created a while  ago and didn’t known really what to do with it, but I think it worked really well with the brushes we created in this class.

This design is inspired by some old Dutch ceramics, circa 1800, much simplified from the original.

This has been a most challenging class, I had a great deal of difficulty with the second leaf brush, but with Vinita’s help finally managed to crack it, never give up, never surrender!  Great class Vinita, many thanks, throughly enjoyed it.
