[@c.pbouchard2582]

It would be nice if we would tell us the size of the first circle and the distance you put between the circle

[@grateful.creation]

That is a 10" circle, the inner lines are a quarter inch wide and the outer ones are one inch

[@cathymilson4386]

I love your tutorials! You explain things so well. I especially live your seioshes videos@ Would you consider doing a step by step tutorial doing a swoosh pattern? Thanks for sharing your beautiful work with us.

[@jenlib11]

Explain things so well? I’m confused. All the videos I’ve watched so far have all been set to music. No explanation at all. 😢

[@diptidedhia7117]

Very useful Thank you so much ❤️🍫

[@tinamcelyea5972]

Can you please tell me where you bought your little paint containers.

[@teritorche8671]

How do you prep your board besides the black paint. I have diff with the dots etc bleeding into wood grains and not staying round.

[@sonalibagmar9414]

Did u mark d distance before drawing the circles

[@jzuehl1]

Are swooshes more difficult on wood since it's not as smooth as a stone?

[@FreshhhhT]

What size is this round, please? 🤗

[@ranjurancho1992]

Which paint du u use mam? How about using oil paint?

[@bestfriend4245]

Hey can u tell me wat paper was that u used to make the lines and where do i get it

[@willowmoon3173]

It would be helpful if you shared what size dotting tools you use, also, how far apart are the circles? What paint you use, and what are the colors? Are you doing a tutorial or just showing people what you can do? Your work is beautiful but I would like to know more about how you do it.

[@thoughtfuldots]

Just showing the process :) creating mandalas is very much about the "flow". If you get too technical it takes away the magic of the process. I have other videos that are more of "tutorials". You can use whatever colors you want, It doesn't have to be an exact copy of someone else's work. Tap into your own creativity and use other peoples work as inspiration! Good luck

[@thoughtfuldots]

Oh and circles aren't a certain amount apart.. a lot of my painting is eyeballing things. Just play and have fun!

[@marymccowan6629]

I just started exactly don't get to technical just have fun and go with the flow .

[@elizabethcalvo4652]

Beautiful. I have to make one of those beautiful designs if you give me permission ❤❤❤❤

[@matrushreewomensorganizati7497]

Where I can get the lines silicon sheet please let me know

[@v.mishrasart43]

Super👍👍👍👍

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you!!

[@chillin2150]

Beautiful!!! Can u tell me what you use to hang this?

[@thoughtfuldots]

[@supriyasingh6710]

[@santhoshgsscienceteachergj1254]

I am Rachana this is my dad phone I am 10 years old but I like very much your painting even I did many paintings but I don't know how to erase the lines please can you share how to erase the lines please

[@thoughtfuldots]

Hi! If you use a chalk pencil or charcoal pencil it will wipe off easily at the end using a wet wipe or wet cloth! Check out my newest tutorial where I show this process at the end!

[@gabrielaalves3697]

amazing work! what kind of paint you use?

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you! Everything is linked in the description of the video 😊

[@user-zg3ew2zq8m]

What do you use to help your swoosh flow better

[@thoughtfuldots]

Check out my "Paint Consistency" video! That should help :)

[@lindalopizzo8221]

Please make a second video to finish this mandala

[@summercoldness620]

What did you use for marking? Is it vanishiable after finishing my work?

[@thoughtfuldots]

Hello! All products are linked in the description of this video! It’s chalk pencil and it wipes off easily with a wet wipe.

[@momszoo1921]

Hi question - Ive been looking everywhere for the paint pods style that you are using in this video. Can you tell me where you bought them? Thank you

[@thoughtfuldots]

They are from Hobby Lobby but I may have found an Amazon dupe. I am waiting to receive them to see the quality before sharing!

[@momszoo1921]

@@thoughtfuldots Thank you !!

[@tammyanderson6534]

How do I get lines off using a general pencil?

[@thoughtfuldots]

Wet wipe or wet cloth!

[@bestfriend4245]

Wat is that sheet name unused for lines

[@thoughtfuldots]

I put links for all products used in the videos in the description

[@eddiesmelt1055]

What are the measure of all the circles

[@thoughtfuldots]

Do you mean the guide marks? The white ones going around the board?

[@TarraNewdragon-pq7dt]
