Hi Kristin, I'm new to dot painting, I've been watching lots of tutorials. I wish I had found yours right away. I'd like to tell you that I've learnt more from one of your tutorials and didn't feel overwhelmed and stressed that most of the other tutorials I have watched causes me to feel. And I love the sound of your voice and how encouraging you are even though you are giving such clear instructions. Thankyou so much for for making such enjoyable informative clear and encouraging tutorials for all of us to watch. And your finished pieces and colour choices are stunning. I wish you much joy and happiness in all you do. 💐🙏🏻💐

Great tutorial! Thank you. Getting the paint just right is intimidating, but you've made it much simpler by explaining why you wanted it that way and how you achieved it. And I really love hearing about the inspirations for your color schemes.
