Mandala Design Blueprint
Learn to create one-of-a-kind mandala designs
A course in patterning, composition, and artistic self-expression — for the mandala artist ready to design pieces that are truly their own.
Also available inside the Mandala Mastery Membership
A systematic, repeatable process
The curriculum focuses on two key things: getting out of your own way to discover your personal style, and breaking down the compositional components of a mandala into a step-by-step process that's systematic, easy to apply and easy to understand.
You are...
- A practicing mandala artist wanting to excel in designing pieces that are truly your own
- Ready to stop relying on other artists' designs and start creating mandalas that feel original and truly your own
- Feeling stuck when it comes to composing your own layouts or knowing where to begin
- Wanting to feel confident in your ability to design from scratch, without second-guessing or overthinking every shape and line
- Craving more artistic freedom and want to break out of repetitive patterns or overused templates
- Desiring to attract art sales from collectors that resonate with YOUR work and painting style
- Ready to cultivate a unique style that reflects you, and stand out in a sea of familiar designs
Let's be honest
Coming up with mandala designs that work is a tough puzzle to crack
In fact, it was probably the toughest learning curve for me when I started in my mandala painting practice.
I found it hard to trust myself, and I'd stare aimlessly at the next section of my mandala sometimes for days, often trying out a pattern that I'd later wipe or sand away.
The truth is that finding our personal style requires that we embrace a process of discovery and experimentation, and release our attachment to an outcome we're happy with, at least for a little while.
Mandala Design Blueprint is a multi-faceted curriculum that shares a start-to-finish process for discovering your personal style and coming up with truly one-of-a-kind designs, while also removing the mental chatter that can often paralyze us and get in the way of unleashing our own brand of artistic genius.

About the creator
Hi, I'm Lauren
A painter and former high school art teacher turned business owner, course creator and mandala artist. In the past 2.5 years, I've gone from mandala newbie to full-time artist, growing a virtual community of over 200,000 by sharing my mandalas online.
If there's one thing my time as an art teacher taught me, it's that there is immense power in learning to break a process down into steps that can be learned, followed, and replicated by anyone.
In creating the Mandala Design Blueprint curriculum, that's exactly what I've done — taking the overwhelm and guessing games out of finding your voice and showcasing your unique style within the niche of painted mandalas.

FAQ
I'm new to mandala painting. Is MDB still for me?
Yes and no. The teachings inside Mandala Design Blueprint have been designed with existing mandala artists in mind, who have at least some previous experience within their painting practice. If you're new to your painting journey, MDB can still be learned alongside other mandala painting teachings like dot work, palette design and brushstrokes.
How long do I have access to the course content for?
You'll have lifetime access to all course content if you choose the lifetime access purchase option, or unlimited access inside the Mandala Mastery Membership for as long as you have an active subscription.
Is there support from you provided inside the course?
A little, yes! Below each of the video modules is a comment section where you can ask your questions as you work through the content, answered about once a week. Enrolment also includes access to the student community, where you can ask other students questions too.
Do you discuss colour palettes in relation to mandala design inside?
Not really, no. I discuss general rules-of-thumb for using your colour palette strategically to create balanced and successful compositions, but designing colour palettes themselves is covered inside Pro Palette Design, which you can bundle with MDB for the best price on both.
English is not my first language. Are there subtitles or translations available?
Yes! Every video has the option to turn on captions and translate them into whatever language you need, right from the video player.
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the nature of MDB and the content inside, there are no refunds available after purchase. This protects my digital products and helps ensure my business attracts those who respect the time and effort that's gone into creating it. Please be sure you're committed before signing up.
I have more questions, can we chat first?
Of course! Send me an email with any questions to hello@loveanddots.com, or message me on Instagram @loveanddots.
