Dot Mandala Tutorial For Beginners

[@joaniek.3927]

As a beginner, this was so helpful. I appreciate that you talk throughout instead of playing music. Your little tips and encouragements are great. Thank you!

[@thoughtfuldots]

Oh yay!!! That is so good to hear! I am so glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@shahanaraakterlima7101]

​@@thoughtfuldots which color did u use?

[@ritaprovencher6048]

I am not really a beginner, but I still love to watch your videos no matter what it is. I also so appreciate that you talk through the video giving tips. The music makes it more difficult to follow. Thanks for all you do!

[@Chickzeny]

@@ritaprovencher6048if you aren’t a beginner then PLEASE write down tips that helped you during your way up. And I really wanna know about how the pain will dry if it is 3d/bumpy?

[@HedgewitchHollowUK]

Totally agree Thank you for the tutorial.

[@cathymartin3379]

I saw a great tip for your paint palette - put a piece of Glad Press and Seal on it before you pour in your paints then you just peel it off and throw it away. No paint down the drain!

[@estherwolf4354]

I Am an avid crafter, just going through the template offers, ordered these doting tool with no idea what to do with them. Your video was very helpful thank you so much. I also love carving wood, these accents have so many possibilities

[@Izdabest]

That’s where I went wrong. I’m so glad I watched your video! I was always top doting while still wet and it always went wrong. Thanks 😊

[@localgal501]

I finally made my first mandala.

[@chrismonroe389]

Thank you so much for my first dotting tutorial! Very good video - can't wait to start!

[@chandrakanthas5571]

This tutorial is awesome

[@cindylujan50]

I’m just beginning, this video will help me so much. I have painted a rabbit, snake, and scenery on rocks. Looking forward to doing this.

[@dianeparks9475]

Thank you! I painted rocks several years ago, and did a few of those, not knowing what I was doing! I did find the tiny tools at HL, and improvised with whatever I could find in my sewing/craft room! lol. Your work is beautiful! I have had meningitis and left with tremors (and more!) but I am going to try. Need to relearn fine motor skills and eye/hand coordination. Will be bingeing your vid’s. Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@Lyn4817]

It makes sense painting the black base coat with a multi surface paint, especially as I live in the tropics and moisture is always an issue. So I have taken your lead and am waiting for my order of Folk Art MS black paint to arrive. Finishing with Triple Thick or any gloss, makes it irrelevant whether we use a matte or satin black background.

[@MicheleTaylor321]

This is Beautiful! Thank you for breaking down the steps! You make it look so simple! This is very helpful! I can’t wait to see more of your creations!

[@thoughtfuldots]

[@SheriPhaffArtPaintBrushed]

You made this look so easy! I've order eco resin and dotting tools, now I am so glad I found this video - thanks for sharing!

[@lisaklemm3791]

I"m newer to this art and really enjoyed your presentation. Kind of liked your casual, go with the flow attitude vs. placing a grid. You say,,if you don't like it just clean it up. So many channels get all into the exactness of this art. Looking forward to more.

[@thoughtfuldots]

Ohhh I am so glad you enjoy the "go with the flow". I am an Aquarius and much of my life is about flow and what FEELS right. It can drive some people nuts but I feel there are certain people who will appreciate that. Mandalas can be very precise and even mathematically perfect. But when it comes it dot painting I feel like we can relax a little bit and ease into the flow and appreciate the even "imperfect" outcomes. Thank you for being here!!

[@lisaklemm3791]

You get it then lol! My bday is Feb 18 so I am right on the cusp of Aquarius/Pisces 😋

Very nice tutorial. Does it matter the colors you use and in a certain order?

[@lormcdonald6721]

Such a beautiful design, and such a steady, even hand! I would have loved to have seen you make a mistake on purpose, in order to show your beginner audience how to fix it. Perhaps next time?

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you! Yes! More beginner videos to come soon ♥️ I will be sure to sneeze or something while painting 😆

[@deepartcreations]

Just beautiful.

[@lifeisbeautiful346]

So helpful.thank you.keep going. Keep growing...

[@zoiharrod321]

I found this very interesting where do u get your tools from?

[@justine9980]

Beautiful colors and pretty design, I wish you could tell the dotting tool size as you go along, sometimes the camera makes things look bigger😁

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thank you!! That is a good idea... I am not sure of the sizes though. Also, not all dotting tools sets have the same sizes so it kind of makes it hard. I will have to figure out a solution to this!! Thanks for the suggestion

[@VanessaDegarmo]

I am going to try this ok a flat tile.😅

[@barbsdee3831]

So beautiful and I love the colours you have chosen. Do you plan out the pattern before you start or do you just go for it?

[@VeeraKhambale_36]

So nice

[@chelseahopkins8475]

Where can I find those white cylinders that you plaint black?! Love your work and will continue to learn from you! Thank you

[@thoughtfuldots]

Hello! They are cement rocks. You can buy molds from Devon Dotting or Happy Dotting Company and make your own or I think they also sell them already made!

[@shivnitasart8001]

Perfect 👍

[@lori2876]

Love the colours...very bright and beautiful!! Could you tell me what product you use to make stones?

[@thoughtfuldots]

Thanks so much!! I actually have someone that makes them for me. I am very lucky haha! This would be a great question to ask in our Facebook group! The link is in the description box for this video :)

Hello! How do you find the center?

[@thoughtfuldots]

That is something I forgot to mention in this tutorial!! The rock mold actually had the center dot on it so it's easy to find. With other larger projects I use a ruler and protractor to make my best educated guess LOL

Where did get this stone

are you painting a rock or something else that is so perfectly round?

❤️❤️❤️❤️☺️

[@ornabenet5164]

What are the no. of evert point?

[@janbouchard6699]

I have tried and tried to do this. I think I have to get it through my head that it’s impossible for the dots to be the exact same size. I thin my first problem is I made the rock to big. Plz give me some encouragement. I went out and bought everything. I’m getting so discouraged, I’m about ready to just dump everything in the trash😪😪😪
