I've been thinking about trying to make these but didn't want to spend alot on supplies. I'm so glad this is the first tutorial I watched. You're a very good teacher and you've inspired me to try this. Thank you!

[@heybonbon8525]

Using your fingers to paint the base coat works wonderfully! It uses way less paint than a brush and covers better too! Wow, I never would've thought to do that. Great tip, thanks! 😊

[@pamkemmerer5720]

This was a great tutorial! I’ve seen a lot of the dot art lately and would love to try. 😃

[@thedemonlordvillian8365]

Wow a rainbow pattern on a marble with the help of dot painting i like it and I give like for this

[@hinREISEND_Ausflugstipps]

Wow! Your rock looks so awesome - super creative idea! 😍 We painted some for the first time some weeks ago and hid them in Germany in the Harz. We also filmed a video about it, because we would love to inspire others with it, like you do. Painting the rocks makes so much fun, also hiding and finding some. 🎉

[@sherribaldwin862]

I’m new to your channel and just learning about the dot painting that you do. I’ve already decided that you are my favorite dot artist because you don’t push the buying of expensive tools (make do with what you have) and you don’t stress perfection. I think you and I could be real friends! 😊😊😊

Just found your channel and am hooked already ! Absolutely love watching you work and look forward to pulling out all our collections of paints from various projects over the years ( hopefully not too many dried up 🤞) it is so relaxing to watch you doing this so it must be as good if not better doing it yourself ......I’m sure my attempts won’t look as perfect but I think they will pass ...thanks for sharing your great videos 👍🇦🇺

[@LydiaMay]

XOXOX Thank you!

[@vnagallery861]

I loved your design and how easily u showed to make it using Qtip and pencil back. I just missed to understand why did you put orange dots on yellow and vice versa

[@RamyaSanatani]

Mandala art is another gift to world, from India... The land of spirituality and peace

I just adore your suggestions about household items that work for tools. It’s so accessible and inexpensive, which is refreshing for us desperate to do arts & crafts but fear the cost. Thanks!

[@diannameyers8163]

I just joined the journey 🎉yay... I cannot wait to do this OMG! TFS! I wonder where you got the stones! But you could do this on any surface, right? Wood, glass, plastic etc. PS... I have a coloring book of mandalas, I might try something on that for practice. Anyway, I love to paint, I have done ceramics. I will let you know how my project turns out. God Bless You❤

[@LydiaMay]

Bright and cheerful. Just watching as I didn’t have a stone prepped.

[@kaliemullins4429]

I love how you smeared with your hand and dip into your covers.. I do the same to try to conserve paint! Haven’t made it to the end yet.. do you have any suggestions for when the paint dries with a little nub in the middle? Where the paint is thicker at the application point? If that makes sense 😂

[@rineeb2143]

Sorry for the very beginner question, but the black base coat, is that a special base paint or is it acrylic aswell? I'm wanting to make rocks for outside, would I need a gloss spray to put on at the end? Thanks, beautiful rock
