Thank you so much for the kind words 🥰

[@darlenemikkola135]

Your colors are so vibrant. Spacing is definitely my challenge, but like you showed, I am learning to make the adjustments knowing it usually gets lost in the overall design. I very much appreciate your videos and I love that you completely show the whole process. Thank you!

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you Darlene.I’m glad you are enjoying the video 🥰

[@lizletcher5564]

Wow!! Another beauty! I'm so glad you use Arteza paints and DIY tools, and show it in real time. Happy to see the tool size and colour on the screen for a bit longer this time, thank you. I'm starting this afternoon, it will be a real challenge for me.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you Liz. It’s not bad if you just go step by step and take breaks 🥰

[@pattyy7882]

Susan, thank you very much for sharing. I wish that other advanced dot artists would share as you have. As for what your “Touch up black” has done, I have ran into that with canvas as well.. I have had that darn results when I have only used quality black with either satin or Matt black. Also with & without prepping canvas with gesso… So I must add just as you, if anyone has mastered a way for the touch up not to show up as a patch, please advise… btw Susan, this particular piece is just Fabulous. I applaud. Again, thank you for a actual dotting tutorial.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you so much Patty! I think I might have opened a new bottle and coming from a new container may have done that . And it’s good for me to hear I’m not the only one! I try to fan it out if I remember lol

[@lyta7305]

I was hoping to see how you clean the white marks.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I just use a damp cloth that is lint free. I have a few from my eyeglass cases. You could also use a damp cotton swab.

[@sheilaegeland]

Hint, first dot for larger dot. Use a smaller size will give you a better center Guide for large dot. Thought I'd share As it was passed to me. Great video

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you :) when I first started dotting I would do that as well. Big dots are easy to mess up and any tips are always welcome 🥰

[@carirussell292]

Just found your channel. Where do you find the wood boards for your project and what proportion of thinner medium do you use?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I got this board from Michaels I’m CA. You can find them at most craft stores or on Amazon. I have a tutorial on mixing heavy bodied paints. It’s down in my list . About 50/50 but start with less . Also depends on the product

[@lisacalabrese9080]

I am new to dotting & absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE ur work! So beautiful!! Is there any way u could also put which numbers go w the paints? Sometimes I only have the paint # & not the name. Thank u for posting ur work. Ur one of the reasons I love dot painting soooo much! Thank u!!

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Hi Lisa! I use a variety of paints in my tutorials most of which are just names. But recently Arteza has changed from names to numbers so I will be doing both in my future videos of i use arteza. Thanks again 🥰

[@nancy9704]

I absolutely love love this design! I also love how you make your dots so poofie! May I use this design for my own use? I'd love to try to achieve it. All of your designs are exquisite. Like all of them.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you Nancy. Yes of course you may make and sell you creations :) All I restrict is if someone makes a pattern copy (written or digital ) and sells my designs .

[@nancy9704]

@@SusanNelsonCreations Awesome! Thank you so much. Your videos help keep anxiety levels down. OH, I had another question: I mostly use DecoArt Americana paints. Should I invest in Arteza, too? The paint consistency looks great for dotting.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

@@nancy9704 well I really can’t advise you what you “should buy” but I can say the pearl metallic set is amazing to use. Love the depth and shine. You will need to get a pouring medium to go with them if you decide you want to try them.

[@kathybray7156]

Gorfeous

aquí en sur américa no entendemos o yo por lo menos su idioma , no , nos sirve . lamento que KZbin, no se de cuenta de esto . no entendemos nada . sería bueno una traducción gracias

[@tcfmarch17]

I often lose the grid lines as I'm going along.

[@TheVickiperkins]

What medium do you mix with the Arteza metallic paints to thin them out?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I use Liquitex pouring medium and sometimes a bit of flow aid as well.

[@serenasterling4453]

Words cannot describe how beautiful this piece is! Incredible art Susan! I would like to try this on one of my larger stones (6-7”). However I always get confused when scaling down. Any advice would be much appreciated. Is it too simplistic to just cut all sizes in half when possible?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I usually look careful at the overall look. Then I start with the first two…if it’s a six , 12 I just make sure the dots fit in. As I build I keep looking at my tool size and see if it will fit like the picture. So it’s not really looking at the actual number :) Hard to explain …just a lot of placing your tool with no paint to see if it will fit like the pic :)

I put all the links in the video description . DIY Mandala Stone is on Etsy.

Aloha Susan. I would like to use a 5 1/2” stone to make this. Any suggestions? Thank you.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Wow that’s a big reduction. I’d just recreate it from the photo. I find that easier than worrying about tool sizes . 🥰

Добрый день! Почему на вашем канале недоступны субтитры?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I have gone through my videos and checked for this and can’t see why you can’t pick the language you want. I have able to change subtitles when I view it by clicking the three little dots. But I will look again. Sorry I am just an artist wanting to share my art form and don’t get paid in anyway, also having disabilities makes it hard to spend to much time at a computer.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

OK I found out why KZbin did not allow Captions. They don't do it on longer videos. I went back and all my settings are correct it is just that the video is too long. If you look at my shorter videos they are there to use.
