I've drawn my own, but really wanted more instruction. I've bought three books and was extremely disappointed in all of them. For one thing, all were too complex and dense. One was not actually about drawing mandalas at all. One had really confusing instructions so I couldn't proceed after a certain point. And the third was all about theory and psychology. I wanted clear instructions on how to DRAW mandalas.I stumbled onto Kathryn's 100Mandala website and was blown away by her YouTube videos. They made the process so simple. For the first time, I was able to understand Sacred Geometry mandalas, like the Seed of Life.Kathryn's new book seemed expensive, so I postponed purchasing it. But after going through her whole site and looking inside the book on Amazon, I took the plunge.It was worth every penny! This is a gorgeous book, packed full of practical information on HOW to draw mandalas. Not theory, but practical, easy to understand instruction ... on all kinds of mandalas!This book is EXACTLY what I have been seeking. Kathryn has a great gift as a teacher. She knows how to simplify complex material, such as math concepts, for creating certain types of mandalas. In this book, she teaches how to create a variety of mandalas and spiritual symbols step-by-step.Attached is my first attempt after reading the beginning instructions for a freehand mandala. [UPDATE: I am adding a second mandala I drew last night based on the instructions in Chapter 2. Note that I don't think I have ever gone this far in a How To art book. But following the instructions (and following the encouragement of Kathryn to add my own ideas) is making my heart sing!]I really love that she keeps it simple with just enough detailed explanation.If you want to learn how to draw mandalas, you won't find a better book than this. In fact, I usually prefer videos, but these instructions and pictures are really clear.100% Recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just love this book *by on Reviewed in the United States May 20, 2016* I just love this book. It's worth much more than what it's priced at. So often I have bought an instructive book that covers only a handful of projects, often at a price much higher than this book. Kathryn has packed her book with very clear illustrated step by step instructions that makes it so easy to create professional mandalas from your first attempt. The book itself is jammed with full color pictures of finished mandalas--I tried to count how many several times but always lose count, my guess there are at least 200 done by Kathryn plus many done by other various artists. There are enough ideas here to keep me occupied for over a year.You are guided how to select and use art supplies, how to draw mandalas both by the free hand method and by using a grid, how to draw the much sought sacred geometry mandalas and Celtic spirals, as well as a labyrinth. It covers all the different shapes, patterns, fillers and embellishmentsused in traditional, modern and Mehndi mendalas as well as how to use mandalas for healing and self-expression. It includes the benefits of mandalas, how to interpret your mandalas and color interpretation. Kathryn has covered multiple types of mixed media, showing how to use each one to create very unique mandalas and also how to make mixed media mats to frame your work.I would rate this as my best book purchase of the past several years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Choice *by on Reviewed in the United States February 28, 2017* Discovering The Mandala Guidebook by Kathryn Costa has provided me both tremendous information and joy.When I started to gather information on mandalas, my first step was to search the history and sacred practice of the art. Although these sources were interesting resources, Costa’s book offered an immediate invitation to the practice of mandalas.Kathryn Costa’s warm tone and clear instructions on creating mandalas encourage even the most reluctant artist to enter the wondrous world of mandalas. Providing a variety of examples, as well as an array of the purpose of mandala—sacred, healt -centered, playful and artistic exploration, Costa’s book encourages readers to enter the practice at any point and invites the reader to expand their mandala practice.In addition to the book, Costa generously provides other sources to support the reader’s mandala exploration. The Mandala Guidebook utilizes a multi-platform approach to mandalas which many readers should find to be of great interest and ## Frequently Bought Together - The Mandala Guidebook: How to Draw, Paint and Color Expressive Mandala Art - Arcturus Publishing Ltd Drawing Mandalas: How to Create Beautiful, Intricate Patterns --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/27510318-the-mandala-guidebook-how-to-draw-paint-and-color-expressive](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/27510318-the-mandala-guidebook-how-to-draw-paint-and-color-expressive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
