Let's take your mandala painting practice to all new heights
(no matter your current skill level!)
You are...
-
A practicing mandala artist with a desire to elevate in your skills and the opportunities you attract through your art
-
Ready to up-level both the technical aspects of your painting practice as well as your mindset, confidence levels and ability to grow into your highest potential
-
Perhaps wanting to grow in your reach, audience size and income
-
Committed to your own learning, open to a holistic approach to growing as an artist and advancing your painting skills
Whether your goals are personal or professional, TAC is the curriculum for the artist who's as in love with their painting practice, as they are committed to taking it as far as they possibly can.
Welcome to The Advanced Course: an advanced and comprehensive curriculum that teaches you how to elevate in your skill, opportunity and success as a blossoming mandala artist.

The Curriculum
Part 1
SUCCESS MINDSET FOR ADVANCING YOUR MANDALA SKILLS
While practice and technique are obvious key components when it comes to elevating your mandala skills, mindset is a topic (near and dear to my heart) that can't be passed over. As you move towards mandala mastery, the journey there needs to be one that address not only your technical skill-development, but also the energy, mindset, confidence and intention you have behind the pieces you create. Inside Part 1 of the curriculum, you'll learn how to build belief (that supports both the development of your skill and the places it's able to take you), cultivate confidence and become a channel for next-level mandalas to flow through. I also share the mindset and daily practice that I personally attribute my growth over the past year to (both as an artist and business owners).
Part 2
THE BRUSHSTROKES MINICLASS
An TAC exclusive, the Brushstrokes Miniclass is the perfect curricular addition for those wanting to master their brushstrokes. Inside we discuss and demonstrate ideal paint consistency, the different recommended bristle lengths, brush sizes/thicknesses and what to use each for within your mandala designs. You'll also learn ideal hand placement and wrist movement, and my recommendations for how to best develop your brushstroke skills.
Part 3
THE ADVANCED MANDALA MASTERCLASS
The masterclass is a step-by-step technical breakdown featuring over 6 hours of tutorials and how-tos. It comes complete with practice sheets for each of the brushstroke designs included in this 22” mandala, along with a detailed supply list and two different pro palette tutorials.
I intentionally built this masterclass and portion of the TAC curriculum around an actual piece of my current collection, rather than designing a simpler mandala for the sake of the course. I wanted students inside to get a real behind-the-scenes feel for my start-to-finish painting process: mistakes, doubts, triumphs and all.
The masterclass can be modified to any size mandala (suggested size is 18" - 24"), and you can choose to complete this piece start-to-finish, or adopt sections of it within your own practice.

TAC STUDENTS MASTERCLASS PAINTINGS
Here’s the #1 thing that my experience as a high school art teacher taught me about how to best develop your art skills:
There is IMMENSE value in understanding processes.
In other words, if you want to paint mandalas that look a certain way, learn the breakdown of how each specific element within a piece is created, step-by-step-by-step.
All too often we look at a piece of art work and feel overwhelmed or perplexed at the idea of trying to create something similar ourselves.
But any artist who’s a master at their craft, simply understands the “how” of breaking down any particular element of an art piece into tiny steps. They become really good at the tiny steps, and then piece them together to create the whole.
Don’t focus on the whole. Focus on the process, one dot at a time. Mastery is in the tiniest of details, not the overall piece.
That’s why The Advanced Course includes over 6.5 hours of process-based learning and technique breakdown. So that you can become masterful by zooming your focus into one tiny detail at a time, and then string a whole bunch of those details together to create paintings you never knew you were capable of.

Part 4
BEST PRACTICES FOR ADVANCED MANDALA PAINTING
Inside Part 4 of the curriculum, we're covering how to advance in your painting practices through your design choices and composition, the colours you choose to include in your palette, and the intention you approach each piece with.
Module 4 can be applied to any mandala you paint moving forward, and offers small shifts that have a big impact on the success of your final pieces.
Part 5
YOUR STORY, STYLE & SALES (STANDING OUT AS A MANDALA ARTIST)
For the mandala artists ready to expand into more reach, impact, and even income through their artwork, Part 5 addresses the more business-related side of mandala mastery, and covers topics including (but not limited to) pricing and selling your pieces, connecting with your audience authentically to leave a lasting impact, discovering your personal style and growing your brand as an artist through the power of story-telling.
This part of the curriculum shares my own approach to growing as an art business owner in an authentic, sustainable way: no forcing, chasing an algorithm or bro marketing tactics required.

About The Creator
Hello creative soul, I'm Lauren. I'm a painter and former high school art teacher turned business owner, mindset mentor and mandala artist.
In the past 12 months, I've gone from mandala newbie to full-time artist, growing an online audience of over 165,000 by sharing my mandalas online. It has been one of my most rewarding growth journeys to date.
While my art background has certainly benefitted my growth, I still attribute my ability to expand rapidly in both my skill-level and my mandala business to what I learned in my 5 years (in my previous coaching business) as a success coach and mindset mentor for creative entrepreneurs.
While repetition, practice and know-how are undoubtedly instrumental when it comes to reaching new levels of success (whatever that means for you) within your mandala painting practice, mastery is truly a holistic journey: one that requires more than just hands-on skill development.
I've built TAC as both a technical skill-building course, AND a success mindset and self-development curriculum for the emerging artist who wants to take their skills as a creative as far as they possibly can.
TAC is the course for those wanting to expand in their skill and/or their success, reach and even income as an artist within this wonderful niche.
It's the holistic approach to reaching new heights, drawing in more people, and attracting new opportunities through your art (should you desire to do so).
The past year has been a blessing in so many ways, one of the biggest of which has been connecting with so many other inspiring mandala artists. TAC is the space where I get to share some of what I know about growing both in your skill, and in your success with those it can help.
A lot of intention has gone into planning TAC so that it's both informational and also extremely applicable. The theory-based trainings are in audio-format so that you can listen on-the-go or while you paint, allowing for the teachings to integrate as you up-level your mindset, confidence, and painting/success practices.
The Brushstrokes Miniclass and Advanced Mandala Masterclass make up a combined 6.5 hours of the 10 hour curriculum, and have been designed to equip you with the technical know-how needed to advance your painting skills.
Parts 1, 4 and 5 are comprised of 12 trainings covering topics including (but not limited to) confidence-building and success mindset for artists, building a memorable brand and pricing/selling your pieces.
If you're a mandala artist ready to reach new levels of skill, opportunity and growth in your painting practice, then TAC has been specifically designed and built to help get you there.

Where and how do I access the course?
TAC is hosted on my Kajabi members-only site, which is easy to use and comes with a free app you can download if you wish to, to take your TAC course content with you wherever you go!
What's the difference between TAC and The Mandala Course?
Think of The Mandala Course as the foundations for those either new to or just starting out on their mandala journey, and TAC as the curriculum for existing mandala artists wanting to elevate in their skills, reach and even income as blossoming artists. The Mandala Course covers the basics and then some: being the ideal course for those newer to the practice. TAC on the other hand has been built for those who are ready for the next level (or ten). If you'd like, you can bundle both courses together here.
I'm still getting started. Is TAC too advanced for me?
You can benefit from TAC no matter where you're currently at! While you may find the masterclass inside TAC quite advanced if you're still getting started, the rest of the curriculum is applicable and super beneficial no matter your current skill-level. I'd recommend completing the Brushstrokes Miniclass and using the practices sheets inside the masterclass, adopting pieces of the featured mandala (or attempting the whole thing if you're feeling bold, because why the h*ll not!?) and implementing the best practices/mindset work shared throughout the rest of the course to quickly advance in your skills and painting practice. If you'd like to, you can bundle Advanced Mandala Masterclass with my beginner-intermediate level course (The Love & Dots Mandala Course) here.
Is there any support from you provided inside the course if I have questions?
Yes and no. There is a questions section below each module that I've left active, so that students inside may ask questions as they work through the course material. However this is not an included feature of the course, and answers to your questions are not guaranteed. I also am not able to provide feedback via Instagram or elsewhere. TAC is a DIY course and I'm able to offer it at a very accessible price point by not offering any official form of support to those inside. However, if you have a question you may ask it in the Questions section and if I'm able, I'll write you a response (I pretty much always do!).
Can I sell the piece I paint from the TAC masterclass?
Absolutely YES, please do! It's your painting, and I'd love for you to make back your money (and then some) from selling the piece you create from the masterclass should you wish to. Any mandalas you paint as a result of being inside my courses are yours to do with as you please. My only request is that you don't publicly claim them to be your original designs. It's up to you whether you want to disclose to potential buyers the fact that it's a piece painted after one of mine (you may or may not choose to). Either way, you're encouraged to do with your artwork whatever you please to!
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the nature of TAC 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 time/effort that has gone into creating my curriculums. 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!
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.
