Feeling stuck when it comes to composing your own layouts or knowing where to begin

-
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
I know how it can be...
You sit down to create... but feel stuck staring at a blank circle, unsure where to even begin
You’ve painted plenty of beautiful mandalas—but when it comes to designing your own, your mind draws a blank.
You feel like you’re just recreating what you’ve already seen... and deep down, you’re craving something more original.
You want your work to feel intentional and aligned, and you want your original finished pieces to feel as beautiful as the ones you've learned from others—but something about the design process still feels intimidating.
You know your art has potential to be something special and unique, but you're unsure how to make your pieces feel like you—distinctive, desirable, and full of your own artistic energy.
Let's be honest...
Coming up with mandala designs that work (and that you haven't seen before), 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.
How it works
The Mandala Design Blueprint curriculum focuses on two key things:
1. Getting out of your own way when it comes to discovering your personal style, and crafting mandala designs that have never been seen before. The first part of the curriculum has been designed to give you access to the ideas and creative freedom that you already have inside you.
2. Breaking down the compositional components of a mandala and providing you with a step-by-step process that makes mandala design systematic, and easy to apply and understand.

About The Creator
Hello creative soul, I'm Lauren. I'm 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. I've taught thousands of people from all around the world how to grow and excel in their mandala painting practices.
If there's one thing that my time as an art teacher taught me, it's that there is immense power in learning to break down processes.
In other words, if you want to become truly masterful at designing captivating, one-of-a-kind mandalas, learn how to break it down into a step-by-step process that you can replicate, over and over again-- becoming masterful at it in the process.
In creating the Mandala Design Blueprint curriculum, that's exactly what I've done: break down the process of mandala design, into steps that can be learned, followed, and replicated by anyone; allowing you to take the overwhelm and guessing games out of finding your voice and showcasing your unique style within the niche of painted mandalas.
Mandala Design Blueprint is for the practicing mandala artist wanting to step outside of the box, stand out from the crowd, and craft truly distinctive mandalas as the original artist they were born to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When do we start!?
A: As soon as you sign up! Like my other courses, all content is pre-recorded for you to work through on your own time and schedule. If you're reading this during the initial launch (May, 2025) the first nine modules are up and ready for you to dive into, with Module 9 (the final module) being added on May 20th, 2025. I often "drip" out my new courses this way to make building them easier.
Q: I'm new to mandala painting. Is MDB still for me?
A: 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. However if you're new to your painting journey and wish to start creating original designs and discovering your personal style from the get-go, then MDB will be a beneficial curriculum and process that can be learned alongside other mandala painting teachings like dot work, palette design and brushstrokes.
Q: How long do I have access to the course content for?
A: 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 monthly or yearly subscription.
Q: Is there support from you provided inside the course?
A: 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, and I answer all new questions about once a week. Enrolment also includes access to my student community, where you can ask other students your questions as well.
Q: Do you discuss colour palettes in relation to mandala design inside?
A: Not really, no. I do discuss general "rules-of-thumb" when it comes to using your colour palette strategically to create balanced and successful compositions, but in terms of actually designing colour palettes, that information is all shared inside my Pro Palette Design course, which you can bundle here with MDB for the best price on both courses.
Q: English is not my first language. Are there subtitles?
A: Yes! Every video inside all my courses + membership has a link in the description section that'll take you to YouTube, where you can watch the training with subtitles in any language you need them in.
Q: Do you offer refunds?
A: Due to the nature of MDB and the content inside, there are no refunds available after you have purchased the course. This is a means of protecting my digital products and ensuring that my business attracts those who truly respect my work and the effort that has gone into creating it. Please be sure you're committed before signing up. If you have any questions before deciding whether to purchase or not, please do not hesitate to contact me via the info listed below!
Q: I have more questions, can we chat first?
A: Of course! Send me an email with any questions to hello@loveanddots.com, or message me on Instagram @loveanddots.
