    I have watched many of KZreads tutorials on Dot painting but You Jadel are the QUEEN of them all. You detail left me without having to ask question because you explained well and in detail. I am 76 yrs and trying to adapt to the changes that just keep on coming. I am now on the Top of your FAN LIST. I wish we had met sooner. Only Dotting since Covid. I will be watching from this point on any and everthing JaDel. I am your Australian Fan. ❤👏👏👏

    Awesome… I started out just thinning my paint with water. I got so many comments about how I was ruining my artwork. I’m still not sure I agree with those comments, but I tried this product and I just love what it does. It’s still mostly water 😉 You just gotta practice with your own consistency and see what works best for you then it’s smooth sailing.

    It’s a bugger to work out. For a long time using that flow aid I really couldn’t tell the difference. But I slowly started to understand what it did and honestly you just have to use it in practice. Eventually, you kind of get it.

    Oh you called me out!! I’ve been thinking the same thing. I might try it sometime but I’m still feeling like there’s more for me to learn on that one. I think I have that imposter syndrome they talk about. I, in no way, feel like a pro. But maybe if I look at it like I did this one? “I’m no pro but let me share what I’ve learned so far” might work. Let me think about that one a hot minute 😂😂😂 Thank you ♥️ I need the push sometimes 🤗

    I have struggled with these swooshes and your explanations and video has been super helpful. Consistency has been my problem and I never could understand what the problem was. I have done many mandalas but avoid the swooshes even though they look so good on other people's work. I am scared to use them and mess up my work. As you said, practice is key and that is what I have not done but will do so. Thank you. Fiona - South Africa

    Finally, an excellent tutorial to help me master my arch nemesis, The Swoop! Best one on swooshes I’ve seen on KZread! Thank you so much!! Just have one question about your ball tools. If you are using the tools from the Amazon link you provided (I use the same ones)the pink tool is actually the .8 mm and the yellow one is the 1 mm. I think you have it switched in this video. Am I right on that?

  • @JaDeLRocks

    @JaDeLRocks

    Ай бұрын

    Thank you ♥️ no.. you are right but mine are swapped. My yellow is the little and pink next. I ordered these years ago. I just ordered 10 new sets and noticed my yellow tool isn’t so small anymore 😂 But.. I don’t feel like the pink is any smaller either? I’m going to sit down with it and figure it out. But in the videos just go by the sizes.. not the colors. It really does vary. My yellow has always been .8. But you’re not crazy judging by this order I just got 😂

For me also it was the amount of paint on my brush or stylus thats was also causeing me problems .Thankyou soo much for doing this. FInding the right paint here in australia can be a little tricky and with the paint consistancy etc. Hearing you actualyl go thru the paint is soo much more easier now . THANKYOU soo much for doing this. Much love and another HUGE australian fan

    You can totally use the eraser end of the pencil as a dotting rod, and you could use a toothpick for a tiny stylus. That should get ya until you can get a set. The stylus set is linked in the description and I think it’s really inexpensive ♥️

    I think these are two examples: one is the shoosh, and the other is more accurately described as the dab and pull/push method. A *_swoosh_* is all in one motion: drop a dot, load the ball, add it to the original drop, and swoosh, pull... or push.
