Sunflower Mandala Tutorial | Rock Painting and Dot Art

Here is a sunflower mandala painted on a rock! This is a Dot art tutorial that you'll want to watch to the end.
From the Mandala Brainstorm to almost finished rock... there was just something off about this sunflower painting. Before attempting this tutorial I hope you watch to the end to see if there's not some steps you can skip and/or to find your own stopping point. In the end I finally was able to say "I love it." I sure hope you don't stop until you love it too!

Its perfect! The gold DID bring it further to life. :-) Sometimes I look at my pieces for days before I decide they need a tweak. THEN I love them. Great job! I'm always inspired by your trials and tribulations :-)

[@JaDeLRocks]

Lol, Thank you ♥️ I’ve got plenty of those trials girl 😂😂😂

[@cherylstevens1592]

❤ WHAT CAN I SAY JADEL? I'M IN TEARS OVER HERE. I FELT YOUR FRUSTRATION THROUGHOUT THIS ONE AND THEN YOU PROVED TO US JUST THIS ONE GREAT LESSON.... *KEEP GOING AND NEVER GIVE UP, BECAUSE THERE'S GONNA BE SOMETHING EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL IN THE END* THANK YOU FOR SEEING IT THROUGH. WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS.... "LINE IT IN GOLD"!❤❤❤ HAVE A GREAT DAY ON PURPOSE!❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

Cheryl yes 🤗🤗🤗 Thank you ♥️ I love that… line it in gold! You’re so sweet ♥️♥️♥️

[@kasicrooks9858]

Pretty, pretty, pretty, with a whole BUNCH of pretty petals! Patience is a requirment for artists, and you've got plenty of that. Your sunflower design is lovely. 🤩

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you so much Kasi… this one almost beat me. 😂😂 I might take one more try at it sometime down the road but for now… I’m satisfied.

[@denisehowie3716]

Holy Moly, JaDel!! I’m exhausted. That was so much work but the finished piece is beautiful. Thanks for showing us the entire process. 💛🤎💛

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️… it sure was. Lol, I kept thinking “what have I done.” 😂😂😂

[@denisehowie3716]

@@JaDeLRocks, so while I took my walk I was thinking that you did so much work texturing the petals that you can no longer see. Would it be possible to paint all the petals and then texture and outline what is left showing? It would save quite a bit of work. What do you think?

[@JaDeLRocks]

I think there are shortcuts you could take like omitting the brown outlines for sure. The swooshy things though… hmmm 🤔 I tell ya what you could do… just do the swoosh on the ends of the petals as you go? I was thinking it too but was digging the texture it brought. It looked a lot like crepe paper? Like streamers? But.. it felt like I was wasting work in a way. If you wait until the end it’s possible the swooshes will hit the petal on top of it. But… the gold trim might clean that up. Lol, sorry I’m typing as I think which means I’m rambling 😂😂 I think it’s possible 🤗@@denisehowie3716

[@donnajosephsonblatz5058]

OMGeorge! I love sunflowers, and this one does not disappoint. I didn't think I would like so many swipes on the petals, but I love it. Thanks JaDel

[@JaDeLRocks]

I'm so glad! It really was seeming like too much and even out of control but I’m thrilled with the final work. Thank you ♥️

[@elizabethmccabe]

Ohh my dear. You are more than amazing. It is so beautiful. Thank you so much. A big hug❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏🥂🇨🇷🇨🇷

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you so much 😀 you’re sooo sweet 🤗🤗🤗

[@darlenemikkola5239]

You’re not a quitter and you rocked with it all the way to the end to create a beautiful sunflower!! Well done my friend💛🤎💛. I think it’s also comforting to share that we are not alone when we have those times when we struggle with the process to create the vision. Many, many times my end result doesn’t match my vision, instead I end up with a totally new design that was better than the original one I was going for😃. The joy of art❤️❤️❤️

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thanks so much 😊 it’s so true. So often the destination doesn’t match the itinerary 😂 You just have to enjoy the journey!!!

[@dslucher4844]

Oh I totally agree!! I struggle through almost every creation and then love the final outcome. NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Isn’t it weird how easily we can use the lessons of mandala painting right into metaphors for life… love it!

[@Valerieknitterhands]

I’ve watched them all, twice and this is my fav rock onnnnnnn!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awwwwww Thank you ♥️ I love this one too. It started out such a mess but it turned out in the end.

[@dslucher4844]

JaDel!!!! You had me going on this one girl! I’m sayin’ “Yes” …. and then “No” … and “Yes” … and “No”!! I felt like a Yo-Yo!! But you always manage to pull it all together in the end. It’s your artistic instinct and I love that you show us everything and let us learn the lessons we need to learn. Love you lady!!!!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awwwww Thank you ♥️ I think yo yo explains this perfectly. Lol… same feelings here.

[@Valerieknitterhands]

I think I’m caught up and have seen all of your videos, love them, but this sunflower is my favorite

[@JaDeLRocks]

Wow, really? Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@TerriBrownWeaver]

Love this! Love your tutorials! You know why? Because you and your tutorials are real! You show your mistakes and you change your mind and you show all that. Just like me 😂. I cannot wait to paint your beautiful sunflower! 🌻

Thank you Klair. It took me awhile to get there but I am happy with it. Hope you’re doing well 🤗🌻💛

It's beautiful you really turned it around ❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ I thought it was a gonner 😂😂😂

[@dawnbristow3394]

Very cool, JaDeL- and good for you for staying with the piece! I, too have tried multiple times to perfect a sunflower. Each time I try I'm not very happy with the results. I've tried dotting them and I've tried using regular paint brushes. I love the gold outlines of the petals- I will absolutely try that- I agree that the brown seems to be too harsh... or something. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Happy Sunday to you 🌻☕💖🎨💫

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thanks Dawn.. it’s so weird right? The flower looks so simple. Lol, I think I just make it more difficult than it needs to be. I just wanted to see if by using my dotting tools with dots, petals, swooshes, etc. if I could bring out a masterpiece. I think I’m on the right track. My eyes told me my colors were just much too much… I’m thinking if I toned them down I’d have loved it even more. For my 2nd attempt I’m awfully proud. Happy day to you too my friend ♥️♥️♥️

[@frangoodrich8243]

Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey. Ups and downs, you turned my frown upside down lol This turned out so beautiful, I never had a doubt Thanks for the inspiration and another beautiful Sunday morning coffee time. ❤❤❤❤

[@JaDeLRocks]

Lol, Thank you ♥️ You always have confidence in me 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@Thefineartofdistraction]

I love this, the whole process was great to watch & yes the gold outlines of the petals was definitely a “golden” move YIIEEEEEEEW You wanna know the funny thing, literally last week I done a combined fluid art & dot art sunflower 🌻 & I’ve been mucking around on my iPad on a design that I could do a full dotted sunflower. Watching you make this sunflower has inspired me even more to do it even more, YOU ROCK 🤘🌻🤘

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awesome and Thank you ♥️ I’d love to see what you came up with… I love fluid art and pouring.. I just never could get past the mess. 😂😂😂 I might be a little lazy eh? Lol.

[@Thefineartofdistraction]

[@klairbaranek]

You could have used gold paint to enhance the color effect of the sunflower 🌻.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Great idea! Thank you ♥️

[@kathleenrobbins7544]

It was a rough row to hoe, but look at how it turned out, just perfect!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Girl thanks… I just wanted to pull my hair out. Lol. I’m happy now though… shew 😅

[@artattack8080]

Mine never turn out as good as yours! I’ve tried slowing down, that helps I just am a little inpatient.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I can totally relate. I know my art would be even better if I’d just slow it down and be more patient. I think the art is trying to teach us something 😂 thank you so much for watching and commenting… it means a lot 🤗☕️♥️

[@geminirose55]

😯😍🥰

[@JaDeLRocks]

☕️♥️♥️🤗♥️♥️☕️

[@starrspoter]

so u add more paint for the sunflowers? i thought less was better but if u have to move it around

[@JaDeLRocks]

I think less is better but you also need enough to spread. It’s different than brush painting. You could do several coats I suppose? It’s all personal preference. With lighter colors this thickness is a gamble because it can crack. Dotting is a different beast when it comes to thickness. Some folks go even thicker and even more layers because texture is a bonus to a lot of us. 🤗♥️. If you want thin.. you could thin the paint and just make coats 😉 I bet that would be amazing 😻
