How to paint dot mandalas with Kristin Uhrig #36- Dragonfly Daisy

Website and store. kristinuhrig.com
This shorter tutorial will show you an overview of the design process I went through as I made a dot mandala painting combining a dragonfly and a daisy. Instead of focusing on the right tools or the right paints, it is good to think in broader terms from time to time when trying to put your own vision to canvas. Think about the predominant shapes that you want to repeat, and how that can be expressed in a segmented design. Think about the different effects you can get with small dots like subtle shading, or with large dots bringing out surprising areas of changing color!
Paints used:
Americana Lamp Black, Dark Scarlet, Blue Harbor, Dioxazine Purple
Martha Stewart Marmalade, Habernero, Morther of Pearl, Wedding cake
Golden Fluid Iridescent gold, Titanium white, Hansa Yellow
Tools:
Traveling Kindness Rocks set if nine dotting tools

Kristin!! This is absolutely gorgeous and a new take on creating a Mandala. Thank you! I am very excited to try this.

[@77MyEsha]

Oh wow! Another stunning mandala. Stiil waiting for my dotting tools to arrive from China - can't wait to get started. If I can do something half as good as this I will be a happy bunny. Thank you for continuing to inspire me. I have been in a lot of pain recently as I suffer greatly with arthritis and chronic fibromyalgia, and everytime I watch your videos it lifts my spirits, so I'm hoping that actually creating something as wonderful as these should help me even more. God Bless you Kristin

[@edemontfort9482]

Unreal! I'm amazed at how even and precise those dots are. I don't know that I could ever keep them so even but it's fascinating to watch you do it. The dots look like jewels.

[@Deepz1412]

Outstanding work ! Beautiful and unique designs always 😍👌👌👍👏👏👏

[@2RJMH]

Wow I was transfixed from start to finish! just ordered a set of dotting tools and gonna try acrylic paints and do a small trial when tools arrived thanks Kristin xx

[@nancychestnut8928]

Kristen! You're blowing my mind with your design ideas. I'm way behind trying to keep up with you. I promised my aunt I would paint one for her and I think this is the one. As soon as my taxes are done (!) and the painting and redesign of my sewing/computer/reading room is finished I will paint again! Thanks and happy Spring.

[@madhudey7936]

All your mandalas are beautiful

[@lakshmiramachandra2985]

Thanks for this tutorial Kristin, I think your design turned out brilliantly, it was nice to see how you created it and why you used the colours you did. It has given me lots of things to think about with my own work, as I am a real beginner.

you do beatiful work thank you very much

[@Woolsa]

There was a video that you posted a couple weeks back of a mandala that had all the colors of the rainbow with many shades of orange & yellow. I loved it so much and saved the video to watch later as I wanted to try painting it. I bought some paints and am waiting for a canvas to arrive in the mail. I went back to watch the video again and now the video shows up that it is private. Will you be posting it again?

Just beautiful. Tfs :)

[@shelleywatkins1497]

Beautiful design! I love your work and you have inspired me to take up dotting as a hobby. I have a question: Do you feel the best tools are the ones that have metal at the end like the stylus or the ones that are plastic like from happy dotting company? I bought a set of tools that came with both from a different company and tried them out. The plastic ones didn’t work as well, but I’m wondering if it was because my paint was too thick. Thanks for sharing your craft with the world. 🙏🏾🌌❤️

[@aislinngraves4291]

Very pretty and summery. :)

[@Mcshanda]

I subbed just off the thumbnail 😍

[@LynnGalvanHippie-Chick]

Do you have a print out of your pieces you traced? I love this the way that it is

[@jillladd7319]

Hello. I have just begun my new hobby of painting mandelas and fell in love with your channel. I was watching one of your older videos and you mentioned that you have a Facebook page. Would love to join it but I can't find it. I'm not very good with Facebook. Could you guide me in the right direction? Thank you. 😇

[@mariapuddu669]

😲😍 BEATIFUL 😍👌💗💗💗

[@ingridliebenberg68]

Hi Kristin, fabulous as always. Did you receive my email regarding the availability of suitable paint in South Africa, for dotting? Blessings and lots of love, your no.1 fan xxx

[@marilyncimalore6322]

What are you using to apply the white dots?

[@puspalatatirkey3453]

👌👌👌

[@marisapanza7133]

hello my name is Marisa, I write to you from Chile, I would like to know where I buy in the USA, the instruments to make big mandala since I only make small ones on stones, thanks and regards

[@Antosupermosa26]

Hola Marisa, tengo entendido que Kristin usa las herramientas de Traveling Kindness Rocks (estas las puedes comprar en su pagina web que ella deja en la cajita de descripción de este video) que son los que tienen el mango de madera, también usa las agujas para tejer acrílicas, las encuentras así en amazon: Susan Bates Red Heart Crystallites Acrylic Crochet Hook. Kristin tiene varios videos (todos excelentes) probando distintas herramientas que pueden ayudarte! Saludos desde Venezuela y espero pueda ayudarte esta información.

[@DavidANeely]

Love it

[@haileywright5531]

What happened to some of your videos??? Like the delphinium and the 12 pointed newer one???

[@mike1968442]

I wish you would of showed the entire process, that would of been very relaxing to just watch and rest. Very nice nonetheless

[@PKeefe]

How did you know what I was thinking? 🤨 I want to do a flower shape {Daisy). Thanks for including the pics for your inspiration. Just beautiful! PAM

[@solangelucasdossanto3768]

😘😘😘😘

[@crimettle]

Beautiful except the beginning when you were using the protractor you were going too fast and I would like you to do a tutorial on how to use it more descriptively and slowly. Not everyone is as experienced as you.

[@ethanconrad4488]

But im not sure if im ready for the twin flame relationship. But i can tell you this to help know if we really are. I want my twin flame to love and respect animals. I want my twin flame to have a burnig desire to better herself. I want my twin flame to be open to new ideas. I want my twin flame to crave travel and new beginings. I want my twin flame to crave connection as much as i do. I want my twin flame to notice sychronicity as much as i do. I want my twin flame to step out of her comfort zone. I want my twin flame to love beaches and fires.i want my twinflame to want her twin flame which is me.i want my twinflame to love upbeat happy bright movies. I want my twinflame to care about health and awareness as much as i do. I want my twinflame to want to be the best version of herself and obsessivly look up youtube videos on it. I want my twinflame to be able to telepathically feel and comnunicate with me. I want my twin flame to accept me as i am. I want my twinflame to love her uniqueness. I want my twinflame to be bold. I want my twin flame to look sexy af with magnetism. I have autistic brothers. And i had a hard time growing up. And i belive im a sirian and or lyrian starseed and i obsess over this stuff like its normal and i find Marilyn monroe to be sexy af

[@ethanconrad4488]

And ive had scary immense heart vibrations if you felt those before
