8. Dot Mandalas

For a meditative, intricate style, try dot mandalas. Using a fine paintbrush, pencil eraser, or dotting tool, create concentric circles of dots in varying sizes and colors. Start from the center and work outward, gradually increasing the size of your dots. This pattern works especially well on darker base colors, which make the colors pop beautifully.

Tip: Use metallic paints like gold or silver for a subtle sparkle that will make the mandala look magical in the sunlight.
