I thought the instructions were clear and loved the pauses for meditation and the mantra sounds. I have been practicing Buddhist dharma for about four or five years and actually drawing the Buddha face with intention was wonderful for my practice. I plan to recommend your course for a few members of my Sangha. All the visuals were easy to follow.
With Gratitude.

Started with the Buddha face. Carmen managed that very well. Now after all the holidays finally my Buddha face is ready. Very happy with it!

Thanks for the clear guidance Carmen. It is a good challenge to allow the lines to come forward without second-guessing or judging them too much… I appreciate the opportunity to focus so deeply.

I really appreciate the course, the videos, step by step, all your advices, it was easy to follow alone. I was thinking it will be harder but it was a great experience. And thank you for your feedback and encouragements ! I’m glad to be able to follow the next course soon.

I had no drawing experience. I liked the course very much and I’am surprised about the end result of my Buddha face. I found the course really meditative.

Hello Carmen,

Here is my Buddha. I learned so much and truly enjoyed this wonderful course. Thank you.

Om Muni Muni Mahamunye Soha!

I immensely enjoyed doing this course. Because all the video’s are short and sorted by category and step, the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I loved that there was also a lot of information about the meaning and symbolism of the Buddha.
I would definitely recommend doing this course if you are interested in starting to make Tanka art.

I believe I already sent you a Buddha head I created, this is the same head with shading.

This was a great experience! I have wanted to do this for a very long time. I attempted to do it on my own in 2008, but did not have the measurements, and tried and tried with tracing paper. This was so much better. I have made a few mistakes. But I will do another one. It’s a great meditation for me. Especially during the recent eclipse. While the world around me was in crisis, I remained calm, cool, and collected with my buddha.

I loved the Tibetan Thangka Art Course Carmen and I will recommend it to my friends and family. I give it a 10 out of 10 and 5 stars. Thank You for making this online course. I really have intrests into Tibet and its culture and i’ve maid some Tibetan friends over the last 2 years.

Here is the Buddha Face I used color on. I created two heads altogether. Again, I loved the color class I took and will recommend it to others. Thank you so much, you are so clear with your instructions.

I loved doing this course! I appreciated the history and background you offered and found the drawing part meditative and enjoyable. I liked to draw when I was younger, but haven’t done very much art for many years. I found drawing the Buddha face to be a perfect mix of structure with room for artistic expression. I can’t wait to color my Buddha face 🙂

This was such a great experience. I got a more in depth information about the Buddha for instance how and why to use the mentioned colors and the meditation was excellent.

I enjoyed the lessons very much. Drawing thangka is a meditation for me. The information from the lessons helps me to give more meaning to my thangka.

Hello! I love the course!! It met and exceeded my expectations. I added my picture but I have only gotten as far as the grid. It took me a long time to figure that out and then I had to erase. I did listen to the Buddha face part of the course three times, so I will continue on my Buddha face over the next week – I uploaded here just to show progress, but I am only half-way done.

Thank you Carmen for this beautiful course offered online for students like me who cannot take part physically.

I especially loved the various modalities you used through storytelling, meditation, and explaining the drawing techniques. In the past week, I have drawn several Buddhas, and with each of them, there has been this extreme feeling of learning and transformation within myself.

Thank you for being the guru in my journey. And I am looking forward to The Buddha course with much enthusiasm.
