Very nice. And thanks for speaking plain, understandable English. Your videos are some of the few I can actually understand. Thanks again. Beautiful work
I simply love watching your tutorials. they are tempting enough for me to go buy some paints and supplies to try this art out. thankyou so much for the inspiration and motivation. absolutely beautiful work.
Lydia: I'm trying to learn this art and I love your mandalas. These three are extremely gorgeous. I must practice a lot. I'm in love with this art! I do have shaky hands because I'm 85+ old so less talk and hurry up before I go to see 👀 Jesus!! Amen!! God bless you and thanks for sharing your gift 🎁!!
I've watched this vid I don't know how many times... I'm still new enough that it's a weensy bit intimidating...however you teach in such a calm, matter of fact and encouraging way I really believe I can do this! Thank you...for being you, and for your generosity in sharing.
This is beautiful. And you make it look so effortless. I have just recently discovered dot art and have enthusiastically introduced it to the children I work with. We all love it. Thank you for this easy-to-follow video and for making me even more excited to do more dot art.
You are so wonderful to watch you paint your dots, Lydia! It's so relaxing (almost too relaxing!!). I'm in the process of purchasing all my materials, and then I can start. I've loved drawing 'dots' since I was five and tend to draw all kinds of things from Dots! So I know I'm going to love doing this with you. I want to thank you, you're so down to earth and explain the directions very clear. I appreciate you sharing your craft.
I Love your tutorials; thank you!! I've been having so much fun painting...something I never previously imagined I could do! I also appreciate when you say "we're not machines" in regards to not stressing if we didn't make a perfect dot or placement. You said that in another video tutorial and it really helped me let go of perfectionism stress. Dot mandala painting is turning out to be a great form of meditation for me...so if I start feeling any stress coming up over an "imperfect" dot placement, I say: "It's okay...you're not a machine! It will add character to the end result"! ;)
That is exactly right! I mean, if someone wants perfection, they can buy a computerized print. I'm glad to hear you're getting past the little things. Keep up the great work! XOXO
@@LydiaMay That's the difference between human and machine. 😊 Think about any art painting, it looks perfect. An artist might not be satisfied, they hardly ever do but we love them. No machine could never imitate human handmade art. That's why handmade items are more precious. They are all unique. I could say as if they were handmade haute couture costume. 🌞
Thanks Lydia! I have learned so much from your videos. I have only been painting mandalas on rocks for about a month and I am getting better with each rock! Your tutorials are a perfect learning tool for this craft! Thanks so much!! Keep up the good work! 😎
Thank you so much for showing this technique. Your tutorials explain things so thoroughly and make it easy to follow. Thanks for all that you do to help all of us out here to make such beautiful creations and learn so many techniques so easily!
Thank you Lydia for amazing tutorials and for sharing your priceless knowledge. Me and my daughter (16yo) are venturing into this art and your videos are soooo inspiring and helpful! Grateful Hugs 🫂 to you from me!!
Please do tell me what you would like to see. I am always up to hearing what anyone would like for me to cover in a tutorial. I make them for all of YOU, my subscribers. XOXO
I’m brand new to this art form and these artists make it look so darn easy lol.....my dots were all kinds of sizes and running into each other, but I’m getting there, with a lot of practice! Thanks to all you folks making these tutorials! 👏👏👏👏
I have and idea. For someone who may not have the tool, a circle stencil can be used. I have one with various sizes. Bowls of various sizes could also be used. I think I’ll try this. A winter storm is headed for the east coast. (16 December 2020) Glad I watched this again. Any viewers reading this comment: watch the ads. It helps her channel. Or just walk away or silence them. -a long time forever subscriber. (No, I do not personally know Lydia.)
Your videos are why I was confident in starting to try this! I actually found one on Pinterest! And your voice is so relaxing to me❤️ thank you so much
Thanks Lydia for taking the mystery out of these mysterious mandalas! And....just in case you haven’t figured it out yet...RED is definitely your color! Hugs from WV!
You make this look soooo easy! I just might try this! I really appreciate how you explain as you go. Sometimes I almost expected you to say stuff like Bob Ross. 'You can have anything you want in your world' etc. Lol

Wow that was so much fun to watch ,your great at teaching there may be hope for me lol,i really wanted to start out on canvas and not a rock ,going to start mine first thing tommrow, thank you 😍
I must say, the quality of the materials that I purchased and received was top notch. You know, it might be nice to add a link from your Etsy store to the TH-cam video you are referencing around certain products. Not necessary, just a value added kind of thing. Keep up the great work and keep on painting :-)

Hi Lydia
How thin should the acrylic paint be? And how do you thin it down?
This was fun! Thanks for sharing each step and allowing others to copy your work if they would like to. You are very generous!!
Very nice video, nice learning pace.
I’m brand new to this art form and these artists make it look so darn easy lol.....my dots were all kinds of sizes and running into each other, but I’m getting there, with a lot of practice! Thanks to all you folks making these tutorials! 👏👏👏👏
Your paint could be too thin. Try giving yourself more space and see how that goes. XOXO
Wow!! So pretty
I have and idea. For someone who may not have the tool, a circle stencil can be used. I have one with various sizes. Bowls of various sizes could also be used. I think I’ll try this.
