Manual Colour wheels - These wheels are great when you are first learning about colours and what what happens when you add different colours and the names of basic colour schemes. If you are getting into mixing your own colours, these are a great starting point. |

" My best advice is - Be kind to yourself and be ready for LOTS of experimentation. Not all experiments are going to turn out well, but they can all be fun and full of information"

When and how did you get into dotting? I’ve been sitting for a little over 2 years. I started with drawing mandalas. I was at a very dark time in my life and I was watching content by a guy named Kyle Cease who talked about doing more things that we would consider 10’s (the things we really enjoy). Another member of his Facebook group was celebrating having just taught her first mandala drawing workshop. Everything in my body just went “I can do that. I WANNA do that”. After about 6 months of drawing, I stumbled upon dot mandalas during a Pinterest search, and the rest is history!
Why do you love dotting? I love how calming this art form is. When I am painting my breath slows, and my mind quiets. It is so easy to focus into the rhythmic designs. I find it very meditative, and very healing. I also like the endless possibilities with design, colour, and surface to paint on!
How has dotting changed your life? My life has completely changed. I feel like I’m a totally different person than before, in all the best possible ways, and I’m constantly learning. (I really should sit and journal out this question, I feel like there is a lot here). I’ve gone “corporate” to artist. I’ve learned SO much about social media and running a business, I’ve met some of the most incredible people, made lots of genuine new friends, I can’t keep up with my ideas, and most importantly, I look forward to getting out of bed every day to paint, I’m happy
Why did you start doing tiktoks? Honestly cause Gary Vaynerchuck said that not being on tiktok was missing the boat. So I thought why not. And if it wasn’t for tiktok I truly don’t believe I would be doing this full time!
How did you become so popular on tiktok? My honest answer is to post lots and dumb luck. Lots of experimentation and there is so much more I could be doing to grow larger and faster. Consistent posting would be my biggest advice. And then go live lots once you hit 1000 followers. Your people will find you
Do you sell dotting items/art? I sure do! I sell my hand painted items like mugs, necklace pendants, stones, and candle holders. I also take photos of a lot of my canvas work and use those images on items like clocks, tote bags, tshirts, notebooks, all kinds of fun stuff! And starting in 2022, I will be selling patterns for some of my favourite designs!
What is some advice in selling your art? Ok so this is advice that I’m only just starting to follow, and it probably sounds obvious, but you have to market yourself. I have a bad habit of posting content for a piece before it’s listed in my shop and then never posting about it again and wondering why it didn’t sell. (Ya I heard it haha). I’ve since changed my plan to only post content for pieces that are already listed in my shop or as sneak peeks for upcoming product releases. Oh, and if you can, have some finished pieces in the background during your 'lives' that you can show off!
What is your favourite dotting equipment? Other than my DIY Mandala Stone tools, my lazy Susan has been a game changer for working on canvas!
What have you discovered about yourself since you started dotting? Oh so many things!! I’ve discovered so much about how my mind works, what motivates me, and what I’m capable of! It’s almost like I’ve discovered the ability to recognize my strengths and talk about them, be proud of them! I could go on and on. This really could turn in to pages and pages of answers haha.
What is your biggest lesson you learnt while dotting? That almost every “mistake” is either fixable or will be camouflaged in the final piece. Even many of the big messes that feel so devastating in the moment can be fixed if you want to! And that’s the key, do you WANT to fix it? I’ve abandoned pieces because they just don’t do it for me more often than because of unfixable mistakes.
What piece of advice you would give your beginner? This goes back to following the fun. Really pay attention to how much fun you’re having. If you’re having fun, you’re going to want to do it all the time, so the practice comes easier. And the more you practice the skill develops VERY quickly. So follow the fun, the rest will take care of itself! Practice practice practice!!
