Preparing for my next dot mandala workshops on 1st July and 11th July. I have to be quick painting the black backgrounds on these little canvases though, as the paint is drying very quickly in this heat, and I have taken to painting early or later at night to avoid the hottest part of the day.

I only have one space left at each of these workshops.
