Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece... I did my best to recreate this for a friend. I will certainly give credit to my inspiration, BTW, I did it on a terracotta plate. I use these for lots of my mandala art pieces.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thanks for the message! Terracotta is a great option to paint, also very inexpensive ❤️

[@mazmain9248]

That is gorgeous,it has been a long time since I have dotted but I really want to do this one

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Yay glad you like it! Hopefully you will get back in the groove 🥰

[@Caninecancersucksrocks]

👋☺️ Good morning Susan! I forgot to turn notifications on when I subbed, so I missed seeing this when you first uploaded it - but that’s now been remedied! Just gorgeous, absolutely love it! Hope you’re feeling well today. I’m finally doing better here now that we’ve finally found the drug combo that seems to help the best with that dratted gastroparesis (without triggering the ol’ annoying PoTS). Hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday, can’t wait to try this one as well 😁👍

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Hi Wendy! Thx and hope they have fun painting this. Good about the meds…hope it continues to work :)

Yay it’s up! It took a while to load…lol can’t wait to see your version.

[@RisingPhoenixCreations]

@@SusanNelsonCreations haha I get that. Videos take forever to render and upload on KZbin. Well I better get started lol wouldn't want to disappoint 🤣🤣

[@scorneillie1]

Just found your channel, I live in BC and really appreciate the CDN content for finding supplies. Thank you. Regarding speed, if you don’t include music, which is fine by me, we are able to speed up or slow down your speed to suit our personal preference. If it is easier for you to share at a faster speed, for me that works out just fine. Appreciate your efforts, and LOVE your work. Beautiful.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you Sheila :) I’m in Victoria . And glad we have another BC subscriber ❤️

[@kathybray7156]

How do you figure out your color swims they are always so beautiful

[@carolbrown9194]

Love this tutorial. Where can you get that 3 pack of metal tools you said you use one to stir your paint?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

If it’s the little set with crystals on the end I put a link to AliExpress in the video description. Hopefully you can find it :)

[@kathleenrobbins7544]

Absolutely beautiful! Susan, the link for the flexible canvas is missing. I would like to try some of them.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Oh I’ll try again as I did put it in . Thx for letting me know .

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

It’s there now. Thx again :)

[@nadinetagudin4445]

Beautiful work! Could I use Liquitex black Gesso on a vinyl record?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I have not done one yet but I don’t see why not .

[@jfaysal1971]

When you do you 2nd round of tapers on a petal, do you space the dots based on the place,ent of the first set of dots...eg, off center or centered

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thanks for the question. No I just taper down not worrying about the previous row. I think the first couple will line up only for symmetry .

[@kerryshattock3259]

Being a sticker do the more plump dots not crack when peeling the sticker off and placing it on whatever you want it on ?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I have not seen any crack. I have moved a few with no issue. Acrylic paint does have a lot of flexibility . I use good quality paints too. Some cheaper dollar store brands don’t have a lot of true pigment (lots of water ) and might crack. Arteza paint for example has a very plastic type finish and therefore flexible :) Hope that helps

[@christiewoods7565]

Can you give grade exclamations on your stuff? I was wondering if maybe you can do a video showing how you do the art resin

[@christiewoods7565]

I meant great and not grade

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

@@christiewoods7565 hi, I am not entirely understanding on what your asking. I do have a resin video in my list.

[@debradawson9738]

How long did it take you to be proficient at consistly nice dots? Also, how can you tell if your paint is the right consistency?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Both good questions. I do have a tutorial on paint consistency. But it should not leave a little peek. I have been dot painting since 2017. Lots of practice and you will get there .

[@debradawson9738]

Awesome! Thank you

[@lynneg3956]

Thank you! Would you please tell me what the purple/pink tool is that you show early in the video when you are showing the tools you used? That one is not in the links you provided and I’m not sure what it’s called. I see many dotters using it and I’d like to try one, but can’t figure out what it’s called or even where I could get one. Thank you for your consideration! Kindest regards, Lynne

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Oh yes sorry I didn’t include that. It’s been sold out for so long. I’ll see if I can find it and will message back.

There is a bold word “more”…try that. A lot depends on the device you are on

@@SusanNelsonCreations I also have a big problem with the colour of paints, we can’t afford to buy them from America, my Husband & I are only on a pension so that doesn’t go very far, he is a sweetheart because I couldn’t buy very many canvases,he has cut up some MBF a type of wood to paint, thank you very much for your help, Kerrie

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

@@eddiesmelt1055 for paints I don’t know where you can get them where you live. Do you have any craft stores? We also have e dollar stores with cheaper acrylic paints. You definitely don’t need to buy what I use. I started with the more inexpensive brands of paint and they work just fine.

Qtip cleanup... are you using water?

I use a cloth from my glass case with water. It has no lint and cleans well. I do use QTIps for cleaning mistakes just not my grid lines
