Because my nature calls for free-hand in practically everything, I have the greatest respect and awe for Susan's calm method here. The beautiful result may inspire me to slow down and create more intentionally. Thank you!
This is beautiful. Your dots really stand out. Thank you for putting the color and tool size in the video space at the top. It is great to be able to see that in writing, it is sometimes hard for the hearing impaired to watch the closed captions and what the teacher is doing at the same time, so it really helps how you do it. Great teacher, thank you. 5 stars
Thank you. I have another canvas lined up to do. But hubby is home on holidays so it may be a couple of weeks before I can have piece and quiet to start on it 😂
Как всегда - великолепно!!! И даже наблюдать за процессом создания - огромное удовольствие! С этим видео у меня получилось включить субтитры. Жаль, что нельзя смотреть большие видео с субтитрами.
@@nirvana5467 oh sì mi piacerebbe tornarci. Potrebbero volerci alcuni anni prima di poterlo di nuovo. C'erano così tanti posti che volevo ancora visitare. Obiettivi futuri.🥰
Awesome tutorial, would you consider possible have video's filmed a little closer to your project? By any chance! I truly enjoy your videos. Being a newbie, I finally have all the tools, paints, to get started.
Thank you Sheila . It’s definitely hard to get the balance of zooming in and also keeping the project in view. I think on an iPad type device you can zoom in a bit. And also make sure to watch in a full screen view :) I’ll try to do more zoom in scenes when it is needed for detailed placements :) Glad you are all set and ready to go ! Have fun and just enjoy the process .
I love your work Susan... I just moved from Victoria.. dang it - would have been great to meet you. Thanks so much for putting all the sizes in your video... really helpful. I don't do 'the rocks' so having videos on canvas are GREAT. You have such a fabulous sense of color combinations.. So very pretty - all of them. ; - }
Thank you so much! How could anyone move away from here lol I have a canvas prepped to do a new tutorial …just need time. All the patterns I make can easily be adapted to a canvas .
This piece is a beautiful jewel! Your instructions are clear and concise - and thank you for using text on the screen to list tool size. 👍🏼 The music is lovely and calming but 36 minutes of the same song was a bit much. Didn't want to miss important instructions by turning volume down. If it's an option, would be nice to have a few different songs play. Overall, an excellent tutorial!😊
Thank you for the feedback it does help.The music thing is such a pain for me lol the program I use causes copyright infringement notices even though I pay for them …and very little selection and many say no music . So I am leaning towards that …one day I’ll figure it out. But would rather be painting lol! Again thank you much appreciated. 🥰
another great tutorial THANK YOU . I notice you are using a turntable. do you find that continually turning the work makes good spacing easier to achieve?
May I ask a question? I am starting to do the grid lines for this design and I don't have the right stencil, so I am making my own. My question is how many inches apart are each of the circle gridlines? I see there are nine circles, are they evenly spaced? Thank you so much in advance.
They are half inch spaces. My stencil from the Happy Dotting company only did so far so I used a compass to do the others. It’s mainly just to keep things in line and to help you see where the dots could go.
I've watched this video so many times - it's just mesmerizing & your skill is amazing ❤ I can't figure out, though, after you shape the light blue swoosh, you use the larger white dotting tool to even it out? But, how do you avoid smudging the sapphire dots on the side?
I love this SO much and want to give it a try. When I clicked the link on the 12" stencil - HDC says it's not for US shipment. HDC has another pack of 4 stencils but I'm not sure it will go out to 12". Would a stencil for 8" canvas still work? Would we just carry the lines/grids out on our own ... maybe with a ruler?? Thank you.
If you want to use a stencil it really does not matter what size it is once you have the Center marked out. Just extend the lines with a ruler and I also use a compass. I have many different sizes but that was my biggest , I now have a 12 inch one for my bigger canvas :) I am not an affiliate of any company so my links may need further research if you live somewhere else :)
@@SusanNelsonCreations Thank you Susan. I see a few options with 4 stencils, so I figured I could carry the lines out with a ruler - thanks for confirming. I forget not EVERYONE is here in the US! :) Thank you for one of the most beautiful art pieces I've seen. So much so... I have all my supplies (well.. except the stencil) - and hopefully, I can put it on my wall in my office!
It’s all about the paint and using a pouring medium to give body to the paint. Arteza is a great paint for full looking dots. Use pouring medium though.
Amei! Obrigada , a câmera aproxada é possível ter um ângulo melhor! Adorei a didática , mesmo a intrutora sendo extrangeira deu seu regado só pelos gestos.. Obrigada! O ideal sería que tos os vídeos aulas focem com a legenda de cada pais...em espanhol eu entendo, inglês não
Thank you for your comments. I can appreciate this is a global art form much more now than when I first started. I really don’t know how to put in subtitles and I show the sizes clearly on the screen for the pattern. I don’t get paid to make these and I don’t get donations so it is hard for me to spend hours and hours editing my videos. I am disabled so I do my best to show you on screen the colours and numbers. Again thank you for the feedback.
It depends on the paint . If your dots have little peaks then yes thin down . I have a tutorial in my list that shows you how get the right consistency. Maybe that will help :)
I will have to look back at the video to see what stencil I used . I think it was one inch but will check later on when I’m home. Thank you so much Marie 🥰
I SWEAR... this one may be the death of me!! I've wiped off and repainted this thing FIVE times.... and I've only gotten to the first row of white dots! lol - NEVER SAY DIE!! Maybe should've started with something in the 6" range first, eh??
io uso principalmente una tela tesa dal mio negozio d'arte locale. Di solito li compro quando sono in sconto. Il mio ultimo tutorial ho usato una tela di legno. Fondo il tutto con due mani di gesso nero.
I just received 17- 26 diy tools, extremely Disappointed, the numbers marking the size of rod is so so small. Not sure how to mark them to see the tiny numbers.
I’d you rub a bit of paint onto the numbers you will be able to see them. Sounds like you have the older version as the newer ones have bigger numbers. I have a friend who also put her label maker to work. The tool themselves is what is important for the dotting though . :)
Hi Sheila, I saw a comment but can’t reply on it so I’ll message you here. The dotting stylus can be found on Amazon.com But any metal tipped tools are great just need to measure the tips to know the mm size. No need to buy new tools unless you don’t have any.

That is so beautiful Susan. Can’t wait to start but being a newbie I have to practice the swooshes. Watching you do this is calming.
Thank you Andrea! Happy dotting 🥰
Bellissimo, complimenti proverò a farlo! Grazie da Florence Italy 🇮🇹🥰

Yes I prefer to dot on my right side, this way I don’t reach across and put my hand in my work lol

Thank you so much! I use a gentle touch and lots of practice.🥰
Susan if I was going to try to do this mandala on a 4or 5 inch rock how big a difference I wonder would I have to make in the tool size?
Oh that would be a big change. I will have to try that myself . But no easy answer sorry

where can i get that tool you are using ? the plastic dotting
I put all the info in the description of the video.
If it’s the micro dotter I do know they company has been sold out for a bit. Bit check it out :-)
What type of plastic sheet do you place your paint on and cover?
To cover my paints? I used glad press and seal.
This is gorgeous! How do you achieve the 3d dots? Mine are flat
It’s all about the paint and using a pouring medium to give body to the paint. Arteza is a great paint for full looking dots. Use pouring medium though.
Soooo nice. I am a beginner and started to follow your tutorial today. Is there a way to send you a picture to have your opinion ? Take Care.
I am on Facebook and you can message me there. Susan Nelson Creations
Or same on Instagram :) love to see how you are doing
Question: the canvas is 12 x 12, but the stencil is 8 x 8”. Is that the correct stencil? Thanks
It’s the size that I have, so I just extend the lines . I just got a new one that is 12x12 so will use that for my next one :)

Thank you for your comments. I can appreciate this is a global art form much more now than when I first started. I really don’t know how to put in subtitles and I show the sizes clearly on the screen for the pattern.
I don’t get paid to make these and I don’t get donations so it is hard for me to spend hours and hours editing my videos. I am disabled so I do my best to show you on screen the colours and numbers.
Again thank you for the feedback.
Are you using a turntable?
Yes I have a larger one for the 12 inch canvas.
Est-ce que je dois dilué ma peinture avec un médium,?
It depends on the paint . If your dots have little peaks then yes thin down .
I have a tutorial in my list that shows you how get the right consistency. Maybe that will help :)
Susan I don't have that stencil could you please tell me how far apart the circles are so that I can draw it? Thank you kindly xxx
And I absolutely adore this in this colour scheme xxx
I will have to look back at the video to see what stencil I used . I think it was one inch but will check later on when I’m home.
Thank you so much Marie 🥰
@@SusanNelsonCreations thanks so much xxx
Sorry for the delay. So much going on right now.
From center the first circle is one inch out. Then after that it’s half an inch .
@@SusanNelsonCreations thank you so much Susan. I hope you are doing ok. Xxx
I SWEAR... this one may be the death of me!! I've wiped off and repainted this thing FIVE times.... and I've only gotten to the first row of white dots! lol - NEVER SAY DIE!! Maybe should've started with something in the 6" range first, eh??
Take your time and go slow! 🥰 put some nice music on and a candle and try to enjoy the process .
How may sections is the stencil
Have a look at the video description as it’s indicated there. Plus a link to the stencil I used .
Que tipo de tela você usa ?

Hi Sheila, I saw a comment but can’t reply on it so I’ll message you here.
The dotting stylus can be found on Amazon.com
But any metal tipped tools are great just need to measure the tips to know the mm size. No need to buy new tools unless you don’t have any.
