[@lizduce3103]

Thank you for an amazing tutorial...you explain so well x

[@beautifullest21]

I love longer tutorials❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@alwayscreatedforyou]

I love real time. You learn so much more. I like seeing the corrections as well

[@gaylesahlin6167]

I love the real time tutorials. That way I can paint along, see your process, corrections & always learn something new from the info you share. Really love this spring flower, so very pretty. I love watching you create, it’s so relaxing & informative. Thank you so much!! 🌸

[@ruchijaiswal9207]

Such an amazing teacher you are 😊

[@jenniferteague8784]

I love the longer tutorials. The pace is perfect and easy to follow and learn. Thank You!

[@jannapackard3910]

I love the longer tutorials, so filled with new info. If people don't want to spend 2 hours, they can speed it up or skip parts, or do it in sessions. TY

[@vijayalakshmivasudevan6397]

Very nice lovely tutorial. I am definitely going to recreate it.

[@swagat1dentist]

I'm loving the real time thing.. main part is no background music, so that I can enjoy actually what's going on and experience the calmness which you were speaking about and which I guess is the main point to be able to experience the stillnes.

[@selenaupson7773]

Beautiful work. Great to watch from start to finish. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@getyourshinglesvaccine]

Real time is great. Sometimes in editing I wish to be able to see more of the process and it's just sped up too fast. You do a great job explaining and the tips you give a very helpful. Thank you for your help and time and another beautiful mandala!

[@Islandgirlann]

Fun tutorial. Lovely mandala. I’m glad I’m not the only one that has a problem with a large center dot LOL I appreciate you still doing the KZbin videos. I don’t have the extra money to join the other site everyone seems to be moving to. Thanks again Demi

[@chelmybelle]

Don’t change a thing! Real time + your voice = nailed it! I love your work, Demi!

[@pattyy7882]

Most appreciated that you’ve taken this time for the KZbinrs. You were generous with your time/ teaching. 4 years ago this is what was done, now either those dotters do not dot anymore or the ones who still do dot, they do not take the time as in the past. So you have my gratitude for you sharing a tutorial on “KZbin” rather than just the patreon.. I do understand that you are spending your time with teaching those of us who enjoys your “Quality Work” (time is money) I enjoy your art work & enjoy how you present yourself… (oh mighty teacher 😂) Some of the things you have said in this tutorial, gave me a few more knowledgeable actions to practice also made me wake up and not to worry about being to the dot as the teacher has made. I’ll hush up and just say Thank you for being the person you are & sharing your knowledge with the many of us.

[@dslucher4844]

I was so thrilled to see a real time tutorial rather than just shorts. Any of us can pause, speed up or rewind to see anything that you are doing on a true time tutorial so please please please continue to do these. I love your work I am inspired by everything you do, and I really would love to see more of your tutorials. One other thing is just something from me, but I probably will never do a 36 inch mandala or probably not even a 24 inch mandala. I am about to start the largest that I’ve ever done and that is a 16 inch. So those are intimidating to me and I would love to see some smaller 12, 14 or 16 inch Mandalas. Thank you so much everything you do is appreciated and I marvel at your talent. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@thoughtfuldots]

I am glad you are enjoying! Anything larger than 10" will be taught over on Patreon or sold as a course! I am planning a 15" class over on Patreon soon!

[@lisascenic]

It’s so interesting that you refer to your lines as vertical and horizontal. It seems that rays and concentric rings or longitudinal and latitudinal would be much more descriptive.

[@beautifullest21]

Beautiful job

[@annstehr]

Thank you for the way you teach. That center dot and the first ring is always the most challenging for me. I appreciate your expressing your struggles as well. Thank you.

[@miamaria1978]

thanku, i appreciate the real time. keeps me company while i follow along without having to pause

[@denisehowie3716]

Love watching full tutorials. I learn more watching patterns being repeated. I take a photo of every piece I do. As far as individual patterns, instead of a book, I have an album on my phone. They can always be accessed no matter where I am. Yup, I back them up too. 😂

[@cah7767]

Thank you for the real-time painting tutorial. Love the colors, looks just like spring.

[@lunaxbeauty2]

I love these full length videos so therapeutic 😌 ✨️

[@bethwhealin6915]

i love the real time painting. I learn something new every time i watch you

[@mad_catlady4917]

[@lisasorensen1651]

I think you have the best tutorials on KZbin, for beginners, you take the time to explain everything perfectly, so easy to follow along, so many other rush through everything...I started dotting about a month and a half ago after watching one of your tutorials, I have done 5 do far wish I could post the photos. I'm addicted lol.

[@alwayscreatedforyou]

I loved and learn so much from your brushstroke course!

[@mad_catlady4917]

Demi Just want to THANK YOU for helping me with my OBSESSION that everything must be perfect. I make my life very difficult and frustrating because I can't ever let myself finish something if it's not "right". I have driven myself to tears over it this is a personality problem with me. BUT I LOVE how you address this and say IT'S OK to not be perfect and IT'S OK to keep moving on with project. Thank you for these tutorials Demi you are a wonderful teacher😊🤗 LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA 🐨 💞 🦎

[@priyankaparikh5331]

Dear Demi! I really appreciate your real-time tutorial!🙏 I am not a complete beginner in dot painting, but the brush stroke technique is new to me. Recently, I started practicing. Thank you very much for the information and tips you give in the video, so it's really easy to follow the painting process!

Beautiful. Could this hang outside on a wall ?

[@ritaprovencher6048]

You are so incredibly good at that! I heard that you had a printable practice sheet. I've been looking for it...help.

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you! Right now the practice sheets are available on my Patreon or they are included in my online workshops. I am currently trying to figure out a way to add them to my website!

[@pamvandijk8636]

Demi..love this cheerful happy pattern .. the size of the purple dotting tool is ?..l missed it while watching and thanks for sharing in real time ..💕...P.s..your brush stoke class was excellent really enjoyed it

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you!! I accidentally picked up that purple tool without even thinking about it 😂 it’s about 8mm ❤

[@pamvandijk8636]

@Thoughtful Dots l figured that's what happen ..lol..

[@user-uq2ci5gi9o]

I can’t get the Amazon store link to work, I’ve tried it from a couple of different videos. I’m looking for the red handled brushes

[@thoughtfuldots]

hmmm weird. I just tested it and it seems to work. Try going to my website www.thoughtfuldots.com and click on the "Tools I Use" tab.

[@giannagigia3172]

Grazie per questo video. Vorrei avere per cortesia alcune informazioni perché sono italiana e non capisco tutto. Innanzitutto la base su cui lavora è legno? Io uso i colori acrilici ma non quelli che usa lei perché li trovo tanto liquidi, i suoi sono molto belli e "cremosi". Inoltre vorrei sapere se non usa acqua per diluire il colore e per mantenerlo morbido. Io aggiungo qualche goccia d'acqua, altrimenti mi si asciuga presto. Il pennello è di pelo sintetico? La salvietta pampers di cosa è bagnata? Alla fine del lavoro non usa nessun tipo di vernice? Io ne uso una uso a base d'acqua che mi dà un risultato un po' più brillante. La ringrazio se mi darà una risposta. Naturalmente i suoi lavori sono meravigliosi!!!❤ un saluto da Udine (nord Italia - vicino Venezia) Grazie infinite Gianna

[@angelaledesma]

Que lentitud !! Encima no entiendo el idioma no está la traducción

[@samiestewart6109]

It’s so pretty but very frustrated. How is it I use the same size circle, same tools and always end up with too much space at the end. This one was 1/2 inch. So afraid to take the master class and have the same thing happen. 😢 mine went in the trash. I’ll try again

[@thoughtfuldots]

I try to explain in most of my tutorials that this will happen. Instead of trying to get things exactly the same you need to loosen up a bit and learn the skills to be able to adapt and improvise. 1 tool can give 20+ different size dots depending on many factors including how much paint you load on your tool, how much pressure you use etc. It is rare that even with step-by-step guidance that yours will come out exactly the same. I think letting go of the expectation that it will come out identical will ease some frustration. Use each tutorial as a lesson in learning new patterns and techniques and then incorporate them into your own unique creation! Good luck ❤

[@MichelleJ1822]

Your voice is so soothing. And I absolutely love your work! So beautiful.
