Blue and Gold Mandala Tutorial | Using DecoArt Paints

Check out this full tutorial on how to paint a blue and gold mandala using DecoArt Paints.. Including Americana, Sheen, and Metallic. This gorgeous color combination was picked out by my kiddo! I'm so thrilled with how pretty it turned out. I've used DecoArt before but only here and there. I can't believe how nice the consistency is straight out of the bottle. This truly might make mandala painting a little easier! I do recommend based on what you see in this video. I hope you give this design a try. I put links to the paint below..

I make my own cement rocks and paint them with my son’s initials dob and dod and leave them all over so that my son will not be forgotten This has been so healing for me you have to find a way through the grief and so far Art and God have been the way to heal for me. Your videos are helping me heal.

That is stunning. I love the colors. I'm trying to think of what I have in my box to try this. I've gold a Rose Gold and Worn Penny. I'll see what I have and pick one of the metalics to create something. (Although nothing will compare to this design. And, I noticed that Snafu took the day off 😂. Good for him!)

[@frangoodrich8243]

Beautiful!!! Love that colour combo. I only use DecoArt . I started off using Folkart then switched. I still use a combo of both brands, especially with the sparkles and metallics But Jadel, I think you can use any brand and your work turns out awesome. Truly beautiful and inspirational... ❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awww thanks… that’s what I figure I’ll do is just have a hodgepodge of brands, lol. So far, I’m not a huge fan of DecoArt sheen… but there might be a learning curve. So glad to see ya Fran! Happy Sunday 🥰🥰🥰

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awwww, Thank you ♥️ I love the play on words…. Maybe too much 😂😂😂

[@Thefineartofdistraction]

@@JaDeLRocks ohhhhh so do I, I’m actually a fluid artist & I’ve organised 3 artist collaborations, the 1st one was called Fluidstock & it was hippy themed, the 2nd one was called Pigjama Party where I got the artists to use This Little Piggy pigments & dress in the PJ’s & the 3rd one which is in a couple of weeks time is called The Fluid Of Oz & all the artists pick their favourite scene from the movie The Wizard Of Oz & use the colours from that scene as their colour pallet, so yeah I get the love of a play on words hahaha

[@JaDeLRocks]

That’s amazing! I bet you have some tips and tricks about bubbles in paint. My arch nemesis.. the bubble 😂😂😂. I torch them. But I stir them in when thickening paint and it’s just rubbish 😂

[@Thefineartofdistraction]

@@JaDeLRocks I mix all my paints & pigments the day before I pour & that helps a lot, but I still get bubbles when I pour so I just use my blow torch to pop the bubbles. Have you ever tried using pigments, I’m thinking of trying to use them for Mandalas, but my 1st 2-3 I will just use normal paints & then start mixing my own

[@JaDeLRocks]

Forethought would definitely help my bubble problem. I stink at that. I’ve never thought to use pigments and mix my own. Part of that is lazy but the other is tutorials.. it’s less complicating to show the bottle than creating a mixture. But I totally think it’s cool.

[@debstone4062]

I have to talk to you!! I'm have a good day doing this one and I'm using the awl from my jeweler's tool kit to get a really sharp finish to the dots tips.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Right on! I’ve been using an all to do my fine details and tiny writing. I love it!

[@yasminearney5811]

Absolutely beautiful. Do you put any water with your paints. I am struggling with my swooshes. They don't flow as lovely and smooth as yours. X

[@JaDeLRocks]

Not in this video… these were brand new paints. They were perfect. I do add a bit of water to stubborn thick paints though. I have paint additives listed on my website at the art desk if you’d like to try something else. Just remember the key to good swooshes is: do one at a time, make your paints fluid, clean your tool off if it becomes junky as it dries… but most of all… don’t press to the rock. You want to kiss the rock with the paint. That’s why swooshes are a bit more difficult. It requires control, patience, and forethought… all of my weaknesses 😂😂😂😂

I love the design and color! I have a very special niece that would love this in different shades of purple. I would need to do this on a 14 inch round. How would you suggest I stretch this pattern to fit the 14 round without looking out of proportion?!?

[@JaDeLRocks]

Hmmmm there’s a few ways to go about it but the easiest would be use this to get started and improvise the rest. Or.. you could try enlarging all the elements around 3 Xs the size? Let me work up a better answer for you. I have something planned coming in a few weeks. Shhh 🤫 Thanks for the sweet compliment 🤗

Oh Susan thank you. I number them for several reasons…. The number in the thumbnail is also the number on the back of the rock. It keeps me on track. And when someone buys it… that’s the reference I give them to see it being made.

[@darlenemikkola5239]

These colors are beautiful together 💙🤍🤎. Does your special color picker realize she will probably get promoted to Master Color Picker now? My advice to her is to ask for a raise or a cut of the profits 😂. Deco Art Americana is my absolute favorite paint for acrylic paint right out of the bottle 😍. It made my Sunday start out right to sit and watch you dot❤❤❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

@@darlenemikkola5239 hey hey hey… don’t give her any ideas 😂😂😂😂 I told her this video was a hit because of her ♥️ Girl… I loved that paint! I’ll be doctoring all my paint to that consistency. It was luxurious 🤩 Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Your feedback really matters to me. Thank you ♥️

[@darlenemikkola5239]

Btw, when I discovered Deco Art Americana was soooooooo much better than the Craftsmart paint I had invested in, I didn’t want to use the Craftsmart anymore, but didn’t want to just waste it, either. A seasoned dotter advised I could use it as base paint on projects to help use it up. I love to paint mandalas on terra cotta pots and was thrilled to have new base colors for my pots and now I was justified in building my Deco Art Americana supply😂😍😂

[@JaDeLRocks]

This gives me new goals, lol. I will probably replace my paints with decoart as they run out… makes running out a little more fun eh? 🤗
