Beginner's Mandala Rock Painting Dot Art Tutorial | Black and White

I had a super easy mandala idea that would be great for beginners. This is the full Dot art tutorial for painting a rock in a very cool black and white mandala! I tested it out on my 3" mandala brainstorm and loved the results. I ran into a bit of trouble trying to multitask between gardening and painting and my hands go a bit shaky. I swapped paints too but honestly any black, white, or gray that you are comfortable with will work. Just be sure the white doesn't crack. I'll link my favorites down in the supply list so you can find them if you need 'em. This one is really simple and quite easy. The challenge is patience. Waiting on those dots to dry... can y'all believe I did it? Good Luck! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

So cool! Layers of layers upon layers. ❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ I loved doing it 😊

[@LisaLowry-tv8so]

Wow!❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

Hi Lisa!! This one was so much fun. It almost felt like I just did it in my spare time. Easy Peasy for all the multitaskers out there ♥️

[@lorrainemclay3343]

Beautiful and minimal. 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍😀🌈👏👏👏

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ I really like it 😊 my bedroom is all black and white so I think it’s just something I dig 😂

[@dcinkc58]

I love this tutorial for so many reasons! First, because it’s a great example of how you keep it real. Mistakes are made and corrections are shown so we all can relate to it and learn from it. Second, the design is genius in its simplicity while being still so visually appealing in the execution of it. Really looking forward to giving it a whirl after I practice with those larger size dotting tools! 😊

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thanks Diane. I was laughing at myself so hard.. I just couldn’t keep it steady. I’m clearing a good 20x20 garden and cutting vines off an old fence and cutting down dead trees.. I’m so proud of the work but these hands were done 😂😂😂. I thought this was so cool how something so simple could turn out pretty cool. I hope you give it a go. Let me know how it goes if you do. Good luck.. 🤞🏻

[@katguyot6351]

You’re trying to turn us ALL into Dot-o-holics here! I’ve got to do this one in PINK now! Maybe on a CD, hint, hint 😂

[@JaDeLRocks]

LOL!!! Exactly 😂😂😂

[@karenthurber4713]

Wow!! This is amazing! A whole new level of dotting. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art and imagination!

Awwwww, thank you Karen 😊😊😊

[@puffnstuff7133]

I love it's simplicity. sometimes life is so busy, and it comes out in all we do, so it is nice to stop and smell the roses as the paint dries LMAO. This could be done so many ways and colours. Just love it

[@JaDeLRocks]

I felt the same way… thanks Puff 💨 ♥️♥️♥️

Such a unique and wonderful idea and pattern. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your upbeat and positive videos. Could you please let us know where you got the white storage boxes you store your paints in? Love them and would like to get a couple of them. Thank you!😊

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ I listed those in the description under supplies.. last on list. Hope it helps. I love them ♥️♥️♥️

[@laraewelch5217]

That is beautiful! You always have creative ideas that raise the bar. ❤ Would you mind revealing what the information is when you sign your work? I understand "JD", but the other is a puzzle. 😮 Thanks

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ when I do a rock on KZbin I always put the number. If you look at the thumbnail the same number is in top right corner. So I put a Yt for KZbin and that number. Otherwise… just a JD Means no video.

[@georgiawallace9912]

I have 2 different kinds of dotting tools, and they're different sizes.the 11 in both sets are different sizes. All are different sizes, no number is the same size

[@JaDeLRocks]

Interesting!!! If it helps mine are 11mm…. When I get to my art desk tomorrow I’m totally going to check mine out.

[@Lyn4817]

Different and very brave. I had to double check twice at the end, NO glitter. lol. Kidding. I would say we could use any colour, using black and white to tint and tone.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Omg you know me do well! I wanted to go another round where the center ended in a black dot just so I could glitter. But I just loved the white. LOL… you have me pegged just right 😂
