Dot painting has for me a soothing quality, I guess it is something repetitive, not very demanding and at the same time colourful and beautiful ! Thanks for sharing !
Beautiful! I tried a little on canvas just to get the idea. It didn’t go too well but I quickly saw what I was doing wrong. Hoping to do an old wine bottle soon. Thank you so much for this demo!!
Beautiful. The way you did it, looks easy but I am sure it's not that easy. Amazing work
those extra tiny dots made it so special & ornate -- so artistic! Amazing how all the dots, though different in size, fit in perfectly !
Thank you for such a relaxing energy as you guide me along. I also appreciate you sharing your story. I hope, with practice, my dot paint becomes as beautiful as yours. Thanks again☮️
I tried this with a flat river stone I had in my garden.. It was very imperfect but still beautiful. Thank you for sharing ♥️
Lydia, I really appreciate you and the time you took to make this video. Sending you a big and hearty THANK YOU! I have been looking for AGES for some type of tutorial to learn how to do dot mandala painting, on a bottle, no less! Been saving up all those unusual shaped bottles! I’ve watched your video many times, studied your design, gathered all my supplies and gave it a stab yesterday. I think in time, the bottles will look lovely, even gift worthy, but for now I need to work on spacing with consistency. You are wonderful!
I love this. I do dot art coasters and hanging hearts among other art forms . I am going to try this. Will be great to put those old bottles to use and yes it it totally addicting
I fall in LOVE with this!!!

I think she said you had to read the back of the bottle of paint. Her bottle said 325 for 30 mins. To air dry she said a month!!
Stumbled upon this video by chance, LOVED IT! Thank you for creating it and for sharing so genuinely the truth that sometimes as devoted moms we don't make time for ourselves and neglect our creativity. It is a beautiful and healthy outlet. Thanks again 👏
Your channel inspired me to start painting, drawing, and sculpting again. I do many different techniques. My first dot painting was a sea turtle and I gave it as a gift to my best friend. I actually amazed myself! Thank you for helping me to believe in myself.
Wow ! This is stunning !! I love blues and greens...and yep , I am hooked !
Beautiful! My wife and her friend, both artists, did the project and had so much fun they posted on facebook so others could try it. I'm not an artist but I can't wait to give it a try myself. Thank you!

Oh, I love that! Thanks for sharing!
Planar Earth Mandalas. Absolutely stunning! Appreciate it.
The realness you shared about your personal life almost brought me to tears. Much love to you!
Beautiful! I love doing dot art painting! I do rock painting and enjoy doing it and giving the rocks away to friends and family. I put short inspirational quotes on the back and seal them with a spray clear coat so they can go inside or outside and not lose the paint. Once you start doing dot art, you can't stop! I find it highly therapeutic.
Gorgeous! I knew that I could do something with all of those bottles that I've been saving. Yippee! Thanks.
That was amazing and so relaxing to watch. Now I'm searching for a bottle to try it 😍
Hi there..I followed your instructions and did one for the first time and you were absolutely right, there is no dot art that isn't beautiful. Thank you. You are my guru ❤️
OMG! You are amazing! God bless you for taking the time to do this video and teach others to do this project. It’s BEAUTIFUL!
I don’t know HOW you manage to make a person feel so genuinely GOOD about doing this fun stuff but you always do! THANK YOU for your sweet encouragement & gifting us with the coolest projects. 😊💕💕

Your videos have inspired me to give this a try…feeling much more confident…and pleased to see it won’t cost me a fortune to attempt my first dot project…thank you so much for “connecting the dots”…I’m looking forward to this…
Going to share this with all my friends who have found solace with the bottle in this quarantine..to reduce the guilt and look forward to something even after the bottle is empty😆🤣🤣🤣

What a great video!. Thank you! I shared this with my friend she’s into decorating wine bottles. I’m sure she’ll like your video too. Your bottle came out beautiful btw!
Too cool, I have a few glass candle holders I have been looking to recycle, thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to use the paint dot method to decorate them!
OH MY GOD, you have so much patience I LOVED IT. Definitely going to try. Beautiful bottle.
Love Love Love this and can't wait to go all in! Your so talented and patient...I catch my breath everytime!
Love the colors and how you made them are fun to watch
I just Love It !!!I The result is awsome!!!! I'm Gonna Try This!!
This was just the project I was looking for! your explanation was clear and your demonstration was very well done. But I especially liked it when you said “it doesn’t need to be perfect “ or “If the dots accidentally touch, it’s no big deal” This put me much more at ease with this project.

I have been trying this on the same bottle about 7 times, l have spent more time cleaning the paint off the bottle because I haven't been happy with what I had done so far but I am not giving up! I will do this with practice and get the result l want! After all, all l am doing is good practice! Lol 😂
This is so beautiful and I love the colors you chose!
Thank you sooo much, this was absolutely beautiful and great to watch. My daughter and I will give it a try! You are such a pro and you make it look so easy
Wow! I wasn’t even looking for this particular bottle design. I was looking for the basic one with spray paint and even those look intimidating but yours just made me feel like that basic spray paint will be a piece of cake.. wow! Thanks for sharing this is so freaking cool 😬👍

So beautiful...I agree it is addictive..and loved your intersting talk/ commentary along with perfect dots, thanks 👍
I just recently got into dotting. It is very addicting but in a happy way, and I am glad you have had sometime to yourself for doing something for you, always important. The bottle is lovely, cant wait to try one. I first did canvas' , then mugs and now vases and now I can look forward to doing bottles. Thank you for sharing your love of dotting and your talent. Which is huge, I have learned so much from you. I know how hard it is to be a single mom, as I was once one too. Three teenage boys, holy moly right? Hang in there, your doing awesome. :)
