Tropical Turtle Mandala on Wood Shape ~ Sea Turtle Art by Miranda Pitrone ~ Dollar Tree Wood Cutout

Описание: REBRANDING: 2025
RENEWAL IN PROGRESS 🙂
After 11 years of teaching Dot Art on here and in person, I have seen an explosion of other people painting mandalas and starting channels. My initial focus was to teach the art and then find products to accommodate this, either for people who could not get tools or just helping to understand techniques.
The world is in such chaos now. People are angry and rushed. I am hoping to bring a bit of peaceful, calm reflection to the mix of daily life. Art is so relaxing for me and I want to help create this calm for others, whether you want to just watch and be at peace or if you want to paint along and enjoy an art therapy journey, this is where I want to go now. My short videos will not always be instructional and they are meant to enjoy seeing a snapshot of the process. I call them MINDFUL MOMENTS. I am hoping they will be a welcome break to our noisy days. Welcome to a renewal at... Still Waters Art Studios.
Please feel free to follow along the new parts of my journey.
New Videos Coming Soon Painting a mandala in a confined shape looks challenging, but it does not have to be. Through this step by step tutorial I show how to use the newer Happy Dotting Company tools to create a colorful Tropical Sea Turtle Mandala.
The dollar tree really has stepped up their crafting game. I found so many great shapes of wood to use for painting ideas from magnets to ornaments etc. Come and relax, sit and watch or paint a long with me for a fun adventure today.
