Victorian Mandala | Mandala Dot Art Rock Painting Tutorial | red, green, gold

Start to finish Victorian Mandala tutorial. I dot painted this rock with red, green, and golds acrylic paint. I hope you enjoy this tutorial. It turned out to have a Victorian feel or it could even go over well at Christmas with these colors. It really does have a classy elegance to it no matter what time of year it is. It's going to be a rich decorative item wherever it lands. I just love it.
I'm trying really hard to make these videos easy to use. If you have any suggestions please comment. I really do read all the comments and I love all the different opinions. Come back Wednesday because I'm going Green! I'm enjoying all my new colors and playing with them. What's your favorite Mandala color combination? I might just make it if you comment and tell me what it is.
I'll see you all Wednesday with a big ol' cup of Joe and a smile!!! Until then... rock on you awesome rock stars you!!!!

Another beautiful project! Your curlicues would have been so easy to do with a paint pen, BUT, it's impossible to find a paint pen that has the shade of gold you want. So many of them are kind of greenish and not very shiny. So enjoy your videos. You put them together so well, and make them very enjoyable to watch!

I have saved every video of yours! You are one of the few artists that are willing to take the time to share exactly what they are doing! You spread so much absolute joy with your videos. You encourage everyone to try and find happiness in this art form. What a wonderful gift to others! I have looked everywhere for the exact dotting rods that you use. I bought a set from the happy dotting company, but there not the same. God bless you JaDel!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Oh my gosh you just made my day. Thank you ♥️ I did notice that Happy Dotting still sells my dotting rods but they’ve taken away some sizes. I need to find another set so people can get what I’m using. I love these so much. Let me see if I can piece together a set. Let me research the tool differences. I’ll get back to you. ♥️🤗

[@JaDeLRocks]

It looks like her set doesn’t include the tiny 2 mm, the pastel green 7mm, or the brown 11 mm. The 2 is an easy fix because I use dotting tools. My white one is 2mm. I don’t think it’s perfectly the same but close. I will be trying to find a set of tools that is available for everyone but that may take some time. Until then? When I use the 11 you can try using the 10 mm with a bigger dip or a harder squish. Same with the 7… try a 6? Does that make sense at all? Lol. I’m crazy

[@user-qr1di8ut4v]

Oh my goodness! Your suggestions make perfect sense. I will definitely try what you suggested. No you're not crazy! Just so sweet to help me with all of this. Everything's good for now. If you do get your own line of dotting tools, I will be the first one to order a set from you! In the mean time, just keep doing your beautiful mandala art. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with all of this! Yes you do rock! Boom!😊😊

[@Lyn4817]

This design and colour palette are so regal. Very nice indeed. Water thins the paint effecting the opaque quality of the paint towards it becoming transparent, whereas using the correct medium willl thin the paint down without altering the quality of opaque quality of the paint. As you have the medium providing its the correct one for the purpose, I'd keep using it to thin any thick paints down. For those interested, you can also get a medium gel to thicken paints that are too fluid. Again the gel adds thickness to a fluid paint without altering the actual quality of the colour. For those interest, there is so much information online to guide you into making the right choice? It's interesting and well worth educating yourself. The other quality worth checking on is how to stop your paint palette from drying the paints out quickly. I live in the tropics where we swing from hit and dry to hot and humid. So in dry days it's hard to stop the paint in my palette from drying out too quickly. For those who don't know, you can also buy a 'Wet Palette', which will help keep your paints usable for a longer period. When I first started dotting, I was only interested in getting the dotting done, until I woke up to the fact that I was compromising my paint by not treating it properly. So while I purchased good quality paints they weren't as vibrant in colour as they should be. That was because I was destroying my paint with the way I treated it. We live and learn and we are never too old to learn.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you so much for your knowledge. I still use water often and haven’t had a problem with it yet. However… you seem quite knowledgeable and I wonder if you might know… when I use any medium or even water I’m stirring in lots of bubbles. Is there a fix to this? I’m stirring super slow. Then I pick up the paint tray and kind of tap it on the table like you would a pancake 🤣 Do you have any tips or tricks on how to avoid bubbles when mixing mediums into paints?

[@darlenemikkola135]

Classy and elegant and I love it💛💛💛. I never would have thought to use that shade of green with such a rich red, but, shit, it really works beautifully. I love that you show me so many unique color combinations and designs that look so beautiful🥰🥰. You will always be my rock star🤩. I have no suggestions for doing anything different on your videos because I think they’re fabulous. You show the colors you use, dotting tools, size of rock, how to fix mistakes and touch ups and I love how close you get……all while making it fun and entertaining ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JaDeLRocks]

Darlene… I seriously appreciate this comment. I think you just filled me with a bit more confidence. I did so much research these past couple of days…. By next Sunday we will put it all into play. Thank you ♥️ really… Thank you ♥️

[@darlenemikkola135]

@@JaDeLRocks you couldn’t shut me up if you wanted to, I seem to always have something to say🤣🤣. Seriously, though, I lost my husband by suicide 9 years ago…..I’ve had lots of time to reflect on all the things that really matter (what seem like little things on a day to day basis, but are really the big things)and all the things that shouldn’t be assumed, but should be said, so I try to remember to express my thoughts that are positive or might be helpful. You had me from the first video I watched of yours, but if I would have only hit “like” after each one, you would never know what you do that makes me hit “like” and, especially when you are growing a business, feedback is important. When you give a gift in person, you get the reward of seeing their reaction or getting a hug of gratitude. You are giving us a gift and since you can’t see my look of awe or hear my laugh or my confused look when I don’t know where you’re going with your design, but the huge “ya, girl, u did it again” look, then comments are my resource for expression and hopefully your reward. Oh my, I do go off on long comments. Lol. Keep being you😍😍

JaDel I really love the swirls. The stone is so pretty. I might give it a try. Wish me luck 🍀

[@JaDeLRocks]

You can do it! This was one of my favorites. When you break it down to swirl by swirl and dot by dot it's really quite simple. It can be great practice for the fine line brush too. I find circle motions are the absolute hardest to conquer. I still haven't mastered it. I'd love to see what you come up with if you get a chance. Good luck Ann :)
