Learn how to dot paint a mandala on a 4 x 4 canvas.
Items Needed:
4 x 4 Canvas board
Black acrylic paint
Acrylic paint – colors of your choosing (I recommend DecoArt Americana paint)
Items to paint dots – toothpicks, back end of paint brush, pencil eraser, wood skewer, etc.
Paint palette
White colored pencil
Paper circles in sizes – ¾”, 1-1/4”, 1-3/4” & 2-1/4”
Scrap Paper
Tips:
• Check your paint thickness, if it is too thick, add a few drops of Pouring Medium Matte finish.
• Practice your dots on a piece of scrap paper before starting on the canvas.
• Add the center color throughout the design, this draws your eye outward. I also like to add a neutral color throughout the design.
• Look for color and design inspiration on Pinterest, just search dot painting.
Have fun!
