Woo hooo. I have watched so many with brush strokes, but you have made it feel less intimidating. Thank you, and how beautiful it is. Well done. Now to roll my sleeves up!

[@TheDottingCenter]

Yay! It’s a good kind of intimidating! Glad I could nudge you to try it. 😊

[@foreverfreealib]

Absolutely love the colors & design you chose! You killed it!

[@Windsingerful]

“Don’t be skirred!” 😂🤣😂💯💯💯 I enjoyed this one so much as I work on getting better at those luscious, challenging brush strokes! Thanks for sharing your practice. 🙏🏾🙏🏾😃👍🏾

[@TheDottingCenter]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊 We can do this!!! 🎨✨

[@denisehowie3716]

My first thought was this is perfect for Chinese New Year 2/10/24. I love the design and colors. Right now I’m still pushing myself to practice swooshes with dotting tools. This video will be saved for when I’m ready for brushes. Thanks for stretching yourself and in return all of us. ❤️💜💙💚🩵🧡

[@TheDottingCenter]

Swooshes are good to practice with any tool you feel comfortable with! The thing is everybody paints differently so what works for you is the right way. I’m glad you’re practicing 😊✨❤️

[@lydiaharman4557]

Your commentary is gold. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your talent and joy!

[@TheDottingCenter]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 😊

[@BelindaSchearf]

I am a newbie and your tutorials are great and much appreciated!!! Thank you!!!

[@TheDottingCenter]

Hi Newbie! You are so welcome! Also, congrats on picking the best hobby ever. 👍✨

[@cynthiaharrison4610]

Gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing this. I just got my 1st set of fine liners today. Then your video popped up on my feed. How lucky is that? 😊

[@tinarhoades3178]

OMG--this was ingenious!! I've tried to do "swooshes" with brushes and found them quite intimidating and never wanted to try again. BUT, you've now given me hope--because I hadn't thought of starting out with just "straight" lines until my comfort level increases. You provide so much inspiration and hope--so, THANK YOU for that. Btw, that design is gorgeous and, as always, your color combo ROCKS!

[@TheDottingCenter]

Thanks Tina! Yes we can do this. Next weeks video we’ll focus on practicing. I’ll go slow and we’ll get this skill acquired!

[@NannyJan1954]

Wow, you nailed this, it’s beautiful! I have the brushes and just keep putting off trying them. You have just inspired me to get started. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@TheDottingCenter]

You can do it! I’m so glad you’re going to try it 😊💕

[@theresakelly4609]

Gloriously Glorious!!! I am sooo excited for this! Bring IT ON!!! You are just amazing! This turned out so beautiful and can you imagine a monochrome scheme??? THANK YOU SO MUCH>>>

[@TheDottingCenter]

Yaaaasss girl! Let’s do this! I love your enthusiasm. Monochrome would be amazing. We gotta go BIG! Lets GO!!!

[@amethysthoni]

"Never-ending weirdness"....I love it!❤

[@TheDottingCenter]

😂 right?! I dare anyone to prove me wrong. 😂

[@andioneill8270]

This is right on time! I’m so happy we coincided on this brush thing. Those brushes were in my cart and on their way in a flash! You really took away the intimidation factor - some videos I’ve watched made this skill seem out of reach, but not now. I ain’t scurred!😂

[@TheDottingCenter]

Yeah, we got this. 💪🎨 We’re gonna figure this brush thing out. It’s intimidating but not impossible. I hope you enjoy got some big canvases lying around…

[@tamrharvey]

Love this! I ordered the brushes, gonna challenge myself. You always inspire!

[@TheDottingCenter]

Yay! Ok that’s it, next week we’ll do some practice and really break it down. I’m so happy you’re going for it!

[@zormier2002]

I love it! I think it is beautiful. You did a fantastic job. Keep up the hard work. You’ve got this! ❤😀

[@TheDottingCenter]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@julieearl]

Mesmerizing video once again Rachel 🤩💖Loved your design and especially the encouraging us to try something out of our comfort zone! Yay!🐱

[@TheDottingCenter]

You’re going to have so much fun. It’s good to try new things every once and awhile. I’m so glad you’re going for it! ✨

[@janicekendrick5678]

Thank you for this! I have been scared to try brushes. This helped. I will try.

[@TheDottingCenter]

Don’t be scurred! 😂 We got this 💪🎨

[@ritaprovencher6048]

Thank you!

[@marialumanovski7683]

Wow 🤩 i love the way it turned out ❤ it looks amazing and love the colours ❤ I am actually trying to use brushes too

[@TheDottingCenter]

Thank you so much 😀 Let’s figure this brush thing out. We got this.

[@carlawebb977]

I hope you will enjoy a cup of coffee from me. Thank you so much for what you do.

[@TheDottingCenter]

I made cheap coffee and instead used your $5 to buy some Mod Podge Dimensional Magic! That's actually super funny because it was exactly $5 and I had to justify the purchase to myself in the store. Thanks for helping support my craft habit! I'll show you what this ModPodge can do in the next Shorts video. 😀 Thanks again

[@paulinechoate5974]

Seems like brushwork on mandalas is the trend these days. My goal for 2024 is to, as you say "stretch" myself into getting more comfortable with brushes. My main problem so far is paint consistency. Thank you for this video...I AM inspired now to do a whole piece in brush and not just the Lotus shapes. I'm not skeered 😅

[@TheDottingCenter]

I think the best acrylic paints for brushes are thin and fluid. DecoArt Americana seems to work really well. Have fun!

[@abc40523]

Hi! I’m impressed by the design, just curious about the brush, would there be any recommend brand or sizes for beginners? Tks!

[@TheDottingCenter]

The brushes are linked in the description box below

[@carlawebb977]

Thanks!

[@TheDottingCenter]

Oh my goodness! What a treat! You're my first Super Thanks Carla!!! Aww you never forget your first. 🥰

[@carlawebb977]

@@TheDottingCenter you taught me how to “dot” and have inspired me for years now. In my opinion you deserve so much more. Lol not only are you a wonderful inspiration, your business prices are great too. 🤗

[@TheDottingCenter]

Thank you so much! That really means a lot. You made my day : )@@carlawebb977

[@lisettewurster3648]

I am a total newbie at all of this. I’m just trying to not hit the paint with my hand that I’ve already laid down😂this is stunning!

[@TheDottingCenter]

😂 yeah smearing wet paint can’t be avoided no matter how hard you try.

[@cynthiaharrison4610]

I have the same problem. I started waiting for the paint to dry between rounds while planning out the next sequence. It's slows me down, but that's okay. I'm a newbie, too.

[@laraewelch5217]

What do you use for the sketch book for planning your designs?

[@TheDottingCenter]

I like black cardstock or sketchpads that can handle paint. Look for "Mixed Media" paper pads 😊

[@alvinafernandes6894]

What are you using below to rotate?

A lazy Susan.😊

[@kassandrakid9440]

bless you. One goal technique for this year. Got my brushes and ready to learn! Practicing going well too! Thank you so much!! Edit: Its stunning!!

[@TheDottingCenter]

We got this! It’s a good, fun goal to have. 🎨
