This is costs you nothing and I use a substantial amount of this to put right back into my business and finding great products to use.
If I may make a suggestion on finding the center of anything that is fairly flat. I was trained in the 1960's as a commercial artist ( back in the day before it was called graphic arts on computers). Lay a straight edge ( either a ruler or anything staight) on the surface from one diagonal corner to the other and draw a faint line near what you think will be the center. Then do the same on the other diaganol corners. You will then have a cross which is the dead center. Two simple, quick, accurate movements without the need to use a measuring tool. For a round surface like a rock you can use a string to do approximately the same thing. I hope this might help. When I was working we had to get things done fast and any trick of the trade helped. 😊
Thank you 💯👏🏽😁‼
I learned this, too! Fast and accurate, without having to tediously mess with measuring and making sure your numbers are correct!. I also remember using this technique to draw perpendicular lines in geometry. 😄
I don't understand it
Great tip. Thank you
this is my aunt! i love her she's amazing and i go to her house to see my cousin and paint all the time!
Hi honey how are ya?
@@MirandaPitrone great, and your art is amazing as ever. see you saturday.
So cool! This will be my next project. I'm a crocheter and I make jewelry. Always looking for something new to add.
@@jomariesiesen2903 why'd you respond to me if you weren't talking to me?
@@joycesiesen3274 it's okay, i don't mind.
I just started this a week ago gave up like 8 times!!! I swear you make me come back every time because it’s all practice and we all kno it takes patience to make perfection!! Thank you soo much for all your support and patience doing this for us!!! Xoxox
You make it look so easy😁 I've had the supplies for months now but never had the courage to actually start as I know my first one would be a disaster! so now, following the inspiration you have given me, I'm gonna start my new hobby.... today ❤️
Go for it, Pat!! I often feel the same way, and it comes from my perfectionist personality; I'm afraid to try things if I don't know I'll be good (perfect?) at it. :)
Thank you for sharing this beginner's video. Your clear, simple instructions have helped me more than you'll ever know. I'm no longer fearful of screwing up an expensive canvas, opting to gesso some bigger flat refrigerator magnets for practicing my dotting. Thank you, again!
Thank you for the video! The color possibilities are endless!!
Semelina, your aunt is amazing! A real artist. I’m glad she shared this video with us. I’m going to try this!
awww....thank you for your kind words. You should try this. It is so much fun and very therapeutic :)
Love that you goofed and showed how to fix!! Thanks so much!
Haha..just keeping it real😜 Plus I think as far as painting goes it's really helpful for all of us to know how to fix something that we don't want.
Thanks for taking the time to stop and say hi
Thank you for this video. You have a pleasing, soothing voice and demeanor. Thank you for following your calling. You’re blessing many w/ your talent. 💕
Wow, thank you!! What a great compliment!! I hope it is helpful and soothing for all to watch...even if they do not paint :)
Thank you for sharing! Love this!
You don't have to struggle to find the centre of a square or a rectangle. Just draw 2 diagonal lines the intersection point is all you need.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on dotting with us! I’ve done a couple, but this has truly helped.
Wonderful!! That makes me so happy to hear. I appreciate the feedback....so much :)
Great! Thank you. You are very encouraging. 💜
Apparently I was having a senior moment when I rediscovered this video. I had seen it before, but it was new to me again. Something to be said for losing ones mind. Everything is new again.
U talk way too much
lillian barksdale I was mute until I was 25. Disfluent till I was 39. You are right. I talk too much now.
I heard a joke which I repeat... When you start losing your memory you can buy yourself a present, wrap it, put it in a closet, and when you find it you will be happily surprised....
lillian barksdale You are rude af...
Patty Sherwood, girl...you talk as OFTEN and as LOUDLY as you wish! Don’t let ANYONE take that away from you...EVER!!!
Ok, I bought the tools, I've got 20 plus color paints.
I've watched your awesome video, now LETS GO!
Yay! Go for it!
I’m going to get mine today. Excited!
I’ve been watching a lot of these types of videos lately looking for a new craft to do. This is definitely the BEST one so far. Thanks for teaching me!
Thanks so much 😊It really is my pleasure :)
Thanks Miranda! Very informative. I learnt that i wasn’t putting enough paint on my stylus. Thanks for the tip!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for taking the time to teach these beginning technics. There are many beautiful rocks here in Nova Scotia that need dotting!
I live on the north side of Olympic National Park, the Olympic Mountains, west of Seattle and south across the strait from Victoria BC CA. It is a glacier area and we have tons of river rocks of what we call Potatoes.... So they are just outside my front door :) So, yep time to go stone gathering :)
@@dayneallensheetsftm You are so lucky! Paint away!
@@sdmUTuber You Too :)
Ahhh found it. yay!! thank you!
Thank you. Really informative, very helpful for beginning this beautiful hobby.
Your talent and the time you take to help us learn such an enjoyable hobby is very much appreciated. Thank you for all you do to help us grow this craft.
You are very welcome
That is so neat! Thank you so much for sharing! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸
Thank you so much! Blessings to your family as well!! :)
Thank you Miranda for this very helpful video and also showing us that anyone can make a mistake but it’s not the end ,me I would have stressed out but now I know so thank you 🙏
Yes...do not stress. This is supposed to be enjoyable
I’ve wondered how to start, and what you do if you make a mistake. I’ve never done mandala YET. I plan to get supplies and start very soon. Thank you.
Welcome to an exciting new adventure! 🙏🏻😊
Even the paper towel has dots on it! Great information thank you!
You are super observant..someone else pointed this out to me recently. I had not even noticed! Haha..dots in my brain...subconsciously too
Thank you for sharing this, I'm inspired.
Wow thank you , I am going to the store today for supplies. Thank you for showing us what to do .Im excited to learn 😘
Excellent!! I hope it was a fruitful trip!
OMG sjap a great idea for on a card, a couple of acrylic dots instead of those expensive nuvo drops ;-) and I've got plenty acrylic paint. Thx 4 the inspiration! And going to try this technique too on a card, thx 4 the background tip, so I can fix mistakes, wouldn't think of it, unless it was too late, thx.
Awesome!!
Trash
Merci pour ce tuto et toutes vos explications claires et précises. Merci ! 👌
Bellísimos trabajos👑
Thank you for posting this excellent video. I have the supplies but keep watching video's to get the hang of it. I think it is time to start. I love the small canvases for starting projects!
You can do it!
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. As soon as I get my kit and the stones I'll start with this gorgeous mandala and see my first project. God bless you!
That sounds so awesome and exciting! I'm so happy for you to start your journey
Miranda thanks for this video! Your tutorials are wonderful!
It is my pleasure!!! Thank you so much for your encouragement!!
thanks for this tutorial. we had a family dot painting session today- great time.
This was so insightful. Most other videos I've watched, they're too concerned with waving and clacking their freshly painted fingernails! I enjoyed the entire tutorial, and, thank you for the option of NOT following lines all the time! I go more by my feel (cause I'm a rebel like that). I'm painting my first rock as I was listening and watching your tutorial. They will now be part of my water feature (my design and build)!
I am so glad this video is still being enjoyed. I keep saying I want to try and update it and use a better camera etc, but it got the basics out there to share. Your water project design sounds fun. I would love to hear more
I've noticed that people either enjoy me talking out the process. Or they don't like hearing me talk. That really feels like it's fifty fifty. But I have always felt a video is difficult to see really. What the person is doing or thinking... especially with design work. Also I feel like it helps to say things like. I'm pushing down harder on my brush. Or now. I'm picking up the brush. Cause you can't really see that in the video. I've tried to make that my goal to do in every video
Great tutorial for a beginner!!! Thank you for the experience!!
I am so glad you liked it and found it helpful!! Thank you for letting me know
What a great video. Thank you for explaining everything for beginners.😊
I am so happy you found it helpful!! Thank you !!
Simply beautiful. I think this will be a great beginner one for me. Time to start practicing my dots. Wish me luck
I did it 😊 and I must say I am very happy for it being my first one. I did it on a black painted canvas board. I do need to get my dots closer together and maybe some dotting tools with flat bottoms (like dowels) as that worked better for me than crochet hooks or dotter. Thank you for the easy tutorial. Plus also to show how to fix boo boos as I made a few
I am so glad this worked out for you and you enjoyed it. You are well on your way now!! Canvas is a great start point.
Great beginner tutorial. Thankyou.
This was GREAT! I have been looking for something like this. Have most of the supplies you mentioned, but I love the small canvas, wood, tile practice items just for one things---picked up many other small points too. I am a strong visual learner and this is perfect. Love your style and your voice is perfect! :) Thanks so much.
Wonderful! I am so glad you have most of the supplies, so you can just paint away :) I am very visual as well but for those who are not and are more audio...I try to speak my mind...lol I am learning how to better talk through my thought process :)
Thank you so much for your kind words
Thank you for the reply to my previous comment about tiles. 😀 I love that there are options out there that don’t require using multi surface or enamel paints!
Yes...You can deal the tiles after to protect them.I think a lot of people are using them as coasters. That way if you use the multi-service you can wash them and they can get wet.
My first Madala I threw into the river, the second I figured wasn't perfect but would put it in my rock garden but the third I am quite happy with. Such a relaxing craft and your video's started me on this art form. Using the brushes will take a bit more time but trying.
oh no. I hope someone finds your lovely river gift someday. Brushes do take a bit more practice as with anything new. But it is still a relaxing journey :)
Thank you for sharing, I’m just starting out. Very helpful!
You are a great teacher! So much information to help me get started. Thank You...
Happy to help!
I like all the detail you put into the supplies, paint, how to in the video. Very well shot for a mandela painting. Hope to see more soon!
Thank you so much! I do have over 100 videos already posted on my channel if your were looking for more. Have a wonderful day :)
I have a few painting videos as well if you get bored and want to watch. :)
I like your abstract art. I have trouble creating it :)
Miranda, little hint, you can find center of that little square canvas, by drawing a line from corner to corner on both sides... =) Thank you for the class on dotting 🙂
yep...found that out later..lol Thank you for sharing the tip! You guys are awesome :)
Thanks for sharing your beginner tutorial, I enjoyed watching how you do this. I’m intrigued and would like to try it!
Go for it! It is so much fun and I find it so calming :)
Thanks for this. I don't know how I missed this tutorial. I thought I'd been through all your videos...apparently not. So, it was a help, (as all your tutorials are to me). I've moved on to some more difficult ones, but I have trouble keeping the dots close together. This practice helped with that. Thanks again.🙋🌴💞
Awesome! Congratulations on advancing in you art journey! I am so happy these are helpful. That is why I make them.💗💗
Thank you for this tutorial
Beautiful!
Such beautiful work. Love them.
Thank you so much!
The easiest way to find the center, no measuring, take a a ruler & draw lines from corner to corner.
Isn’t that what she did?
@@calmdownsis9539 No. She measured the width, divided that by 2 & marked it, then repeated the process for the other width. My way, no measuring is needed.
Beautiful- and kind of hypnotic to watch!
Many thanks! I feel the same when I watch others paint
Great class! Thank you!
Awesome! I hope you found it helpful!!
Thanks, a great starter, it helps. 👍🏾
Thank you for the beginners tutorial. I’m just getting started.
Super helpful! Thank you!
So glad I found this wonderful tutorial. I would love to try a simple mandala on a tumbler. Maybe a few small ones placed at specific areas of the tumbler. TU very much for an excellent teaching video!
You are so welcome!Thank you for taking the time to say hi!! :)
Loved this it has given me a better perspective on placing the dots . Thank you so much💕
Fantastic. I am so glad you fpund it helpful💞
Thanks again for your time with this video, I think it was great that you made mistakes here because it shows that anyone can make mistakes and it gave you an opportunity to show us how to correct these errors. Well done Miranda
Haha thank you for saying that...hey no one is perfect right? We can either give up...or learn from it and help others learn from our mistakes :)
Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly, I’m definitely going to have a go at this XX 🥰🌈😘
You’re welcome 😊Happy painting!!
Ditto! Your instruction makes me feel like it's possible!
Excellent video for beginners Miranda and those of us who like to refresh the basics in our mind. Well done for keeping in mind that not everyone can afford to go out and spend lots of money on paints etc. to start with.
YES! Budget friendly mandala painting :)
Love this thank you!
been wanting to try this for a long time, thanks for a really good tutorial, I do believe I can do that now. thanks also for showing how to fix errant drops, or bleeds.
Glad I could help!You can do it!!

Now maybe have some ideas? I hope so. It is a challenge at times...sometimes I just pick up a brush and go...
Your Dot paintings are ever so pretty!
