Beginner Tutorial | Dot Art Mandala Painting Perfect Paint Consistency | Thoughtful Dots

Hey guys! When first beginning dot painting, I know it can be a struggle to find the right paint consistency. Actually, my very first ever attempt at dot painting I almost threw away and gave up completely. What I didn't realize at the time was it wasn't my lack of talent or ability, instead, it was that my paint was WAYYY too thick! Once I solved this issue, dot art became a lot easier. In this video I show you my favorite paint for dot painting, how to thicken or thin out paint, what is the best consistency for dot art and some helpful tips & tricks!

I know this is a year old but I’m so glad I found it. I learned more from you in 15 minutes than I’ve learned in a month messing around on here. Thanks.

I'm so glad you did this video. It helps me with the paint thickness as well as the pressure (no pressure) to use when dotting. As you were doing some of it, I was seeing the exact problem I have been having with some of my paint. Now I know how to fix that problem. Thanks!!!!

Thank you so much! As someone living in the EU where, though I can get DecoArt paints, they are rather expensive compared to the US. So I am trying to find a brand that has the right consistency. Meanwhile, as I was just starting out, I brought the locally available tubes of acrylic paint and mixed them with pouring medium. TBH it has been a bit difficult not knowing exactly what consistency I was aiming for. This really helped. As did the advice about how much to dip the tool in the paint.

Such a good, informative video. I’m new to this but I’m really enjoying it, so I’m thrilled to have your expert advice. I, too, appreciate convenience, especially when your making a million dots. So now I will be investing in some paints and I will lose my mind trying to limit myself considering how many beautiful colors there are.💝

Grazie infinite, questo video mi ha aperto un mondo! Finalmente ho capito che non ero io a non saper fare i punti ma dipendeva semplicemente dalla consistenza della vernice! Da quello che vedo, immagino che è sbagliato aggiungere acqua per rendere più fluidi i colori?

[kimshannon]

now I know.
