How to paint dot mandalas with Kristin Uhrig #15- Red Dahlia

My online store and website can be found at kristinuhrig.com
Though we will be painting on rocks again, soon, this tutorial on a 12x12 canvas will give you lots of practice "walking thte dots" in multiple rows to create flower petals. The dotting tools I used were a manicure stylus and RedHeart crystalite crochet hooks, available on Amazon.
Paints used:
From Golden Fluid acrylics I used: Crimson Hue, Quinacridone red, Quinacridone Magenta,Phthalo green, green gold, Titanium white and iridescent pearl.
From Martha Stewart I used: Habanero high gloss, Mother of Pearl, Meyer Lemon
From Americana: Turf green, Bluegrass green, Sour apple, Purple sunset.

Kristin, I started dotting a few years ago because of your beautiful art. I recently had surgery on my arm and have lost my ability to write. Last weekend, I tried my hand at dotting and I’m able to! I’m so grateful.

[@nancychestnut8928]

Thank you for your generous lessons! I have painted every one of your mandalas and are creating my own now. This has changed my life. I wake up thinking of patterns and color combinations, painting 1-2 a day. I've mostly gifted these to friends with cancer and they carry them (stones) with them to chemo treatment. Now family members all want one too. I also appreciate your acknowledgment of your teachers. Shows your exceptional character. Rock on and paint more!

[@frecklefiul]

Nancy, would you please show a picture of the stone you give for cancer friends.

Who would have thought the crochet sticks would become handy. Nice art work, Kristin Uhrig, love it!

[@crystalyng1460]

The symmetry of it all does it for me. It must be relaxing to do. Thanks for the inspiration AND guidance.

Both flowers are absolutely stunning. I'm so glad I found you before I had too many already done.

[@heidiscarrott9183]

That's so pretty. I love it when you put the red on the design.

The green dotting on the red dahlia just made the whole thing absolutely gorgeous!! I also loved the multi color one!! I love your videos and how you walk through things step by step yet not make it boring. and also how you draw designs from things around you!! you've helped me make some of my pieces that came out stunning!

[@kristinuhrig2924]

Beautiful. I love every part of this pattern. The background is extraordinary!

[@walkforallseasons1]

last night I used your videos to create a mandala while my granddaughter was being born. It was relaxing and kept me going till she was born and I put her name on it. :-) Wish I could post it here.

This Was one of the first pieces I tried when I started dot painting, I kept it because it shows me how very far I have come, it definitely was not well done🤔 I will be giving it another go now that I have great tools and a better understanding of how delicate this work really is. As always thank you for all you do
