Dot painting

In our assortment, you'll mainly find products used for dot mandala painting. We have:

• Ready-made kits - these contain everything you need and more to create beautiful artworks. MDF boards serve as the base for painting. They are first primed, and then you use a stencil to sketch the design. The tools used are called dotting tools, which are acrylic rods and smaller sticks. Pre-mixed paints are included in small cups.
  
• We also sell MDF boards individually, in various shapes and designs. There are also MDF boards that include stencils.
  
• Dotting tools are packs of instruments that really make painting easier. These include acrylic rods of different thicknesses and sticks with metal tips with a ball at the top.
  
• The acrylic rods should be dipped in paint after each dot; this ensures the dots are consistently the same size. The sticks with metal tips with a ball at the top are used for smaller dots. You also dip these in paint each time if you want the dots to be the same size.
  
• You can also create "walking dots" or "walk the dot" by dipping the metal-tipped sticks once and making several dots afterward, causing them to gradually become smaller. They are also used for swooshes, where dots are dragged out.
  
• The paints generally used are acrylic paints. However, these often need to be thinned with a pouring medium or water. In our assortment, we recommend checking out the small tubes of Amsterdam acrylic paints, with a multitude of beautiful colors.
  
• We have refill cups that are perfect for extending paints. Six small jars that you fill with different colors and thin slightly. If you're using Amsterdam acrylic paints, we recommend thinning them with Amsterdam Pouring medium.
  

Hope this helped clarify what is used for what and why!
