Muy guai y muy facil con esta espricacion que no entendí nada gracias

[@NoorAlHaqiqa]

Thank you so much. Just today I decided this would be something I could learn and do. But I don't have much to spend. Your tips just make sense to me and it is true you only need some of the tools. I will check your videos on that. I did a lot of colouring mandalas but am left, after brilliant colouring etc, with just pretty coloured paper on black lines. I am thinking once I learn the skill, to do a take on a 1965 painting of sunrise by Joe Parker the great visionary artist. Again, thanks.

Hey … i am doing on wood plate …basecoat always use black colour…when i am doing it …it looks beautiful but after when it gets dry… my colour of dots looks like absorbs in wood or it smudged or fed up..I don’t knw why… i am using right consistency of it that i am definitely sure …can you guide me please?

[@KraftariabySarika]

Can you connect me on Instagram and show the pictures of your work

[@Lyn4817]

@@mansipatel3864 Have you tried using a multi purpose sealer first or mixed in with your base coat, check out Deco Art Multi purpose sealer. Alternatively I use a multi surface paint as my base color. If you are using a seasoned hard wood, it shouldn't need sealing. Soft woods, it would pay to seal. Just like some vloggers now seal their rocks with resin first to give them a smoother surface. After you complete your project and drying it completely, are you sealing your work? There are so many wonderful You Tube Vloggers who are extremely talented Dot Artist, to learn from.

[@Lyn4817]

@@KraftariabySarika If this was addressed too me, I personally only use You Tube. Social Media is far too disruptive and I feel a huge reason for the psychological issues of many today, especially in our younger generations.

Could you tell me where to get a centre tape from please

[@TinTeddyVideos]

Here is my handy hint - If you are a bit shaky handed, or clumsy (like me), let each round of dots dry before going on to the next colour. You could work on a few projects at once, so you can keep dotting as stuff is drying. For big projects, you may find that the start of a round of dots have dried by the time you come back around to them anyway!

[@KraftariabySarika]

I always work on 2 -3 projects at the same time. It really helps
