Como pintar mandalas con acrílicos #16 - Puntillismo paso a paso con pincel

Hello, welcome to my channel, today we are going to paint this very colorful mandala that we started. We are going to use a canvas of size 15 x 15 centimeters that I previously painted in black and now we are going to make diagonal marks to get the center. point, with the help of a piece of adhesive tape, we fold it with the adhesive side facing outwards, we put it in the center and this way when we nail the point of the compass we will not make any holes in our canvas and now let's make some circles to guide us.

Let's use round synthetic brushes of different sizes and acrylic paints from the Decoart Americana brand in different colors. Let's start painting the center. This time we will not do it by making a point, we will paint with a brush that has a fine tip. Let's start from the outside, outlining the entire edge. and then filling in I will show you before each part of the video what color I will use and what size brush I will use well, here we are going to make very small dots everywhere and now we are going to make dots a little bigger equal to everything that is around now We change to a larger brush size and we are going to make dots a little larger.

The trick to make it look good is to load the brush with a lot of paint. Whenever we make dots with a brush, it takes much more paint than if we made them with the brushes. points tools with the manicure stylus or with wooden sticks, etc. and here we are going to make two points between the points that we have made now we are going with the orange tones and we are going to make points everywhere now we will use a much larger brush size and we are going to make much larger dots, as you can see, I load the brush a lot, it is not enough to dip it once in the paint, you have to dip it.

We press it several times so that the brush can absorb a lot of paint, then you let the drop fall carefully and with the same We flatten the brush and the paint expands and thus the dot becomes larger. Now in this part we are going to make very small dots here we are going to make three dots with white paint and now we are going to use two colors, green and white. and we are going to mix them to have a lighter shade of green and we make dots around here we are going to make dots a little bigger too.

Do you see how I dip the brush into the paint a lot? It is the only way for the dot to come out well, you have a lot of paint and then you press little by little and the dot becomes big, you have to do it very carefully and with a lot of patience, that is the trick, a lot of paint and gradually bit. and with patience you get the perfect point here you will see I only have four guide lines, that is, the diagonals that we made at the beginning so I am doing it more or less by eye but I recommend that instead of making only four lines you divide the canvas into six or eight parts and this way it will always be easier for you to do it by eye and here, as we have done before, small white dots between the dots, we have made the first dot a little larger and the other two smaller and here we are going to make dots a little smaller around it, a tip is that when you put the dots be careful not to be too close together because if you can see the first two that I have done the painting has come together because they were too close together and this paint is quite liquid always keep in mind that they are together but not as close as so that the two drops of paint come together and here again, large equal dots, I still put a lot of emphasis on how important it is that the brush has a lot of paint, it has a lot of paint, that is the trick so that the dot looks good, you drop the paint. drop just supporting the brush and then carefully with the same brush you flatten it little by little until the drop expands and the dot becomes larger here we are going to do just as we have done in the round of green dots the same three dots between each of the points the first one is larger and the other two are smaller and here we are going to make small points everywhere now let's make large points again I always take a larger brush and I want you to observe very well while I load the brush it has to be well loaded I repeat it many times because let's say that it is the fundamental thing for the points to look good with a brush, the brush has a lot of paint, I am doing them here one next to the other more or less careful but of course sometimes they are not always at the same time. the same distance then I recommend you draw more guide lines well and now I wanted to show you how I clean the brush every time I have to change the brush or I have to change color I always have two containers with water in the first one I always remove as much paint as possible and in the second, let's say I rinse and then with absorbent paper I remove the excess water from the brush and we have it ready to use again when I have finished working with them.

So if I clean them with warm water and soap and let them dry until the next one. time you use them but while I am using them that is the process, rinse two containers with water first in one, rinse again in the other and remove the excess moisture and that's it, here we are going to make dots everywhere Ah! And I also wanted to comment on a very important thing for the conservation of the brushes: that they always try to dip into the paint so that the paint never reaches the metal part, only the hair of the brush that gets wet with paint because if it reaches the metal, it starts there.

It is already very difficult, the paint stays inside and then hardens and the brush will be damaged, so try to only let the hair of the brush come into contact with the paint, the metal part. No, here we make another little dot in the little hole that is between each purple dot. what we have done before and now with fuchsia let's make points everywhere we don't have a guide circle but what we have to try for the circle to turn out as best as possible is to get as close as possible to the points we already have data so that it is a well made circle Here We will also make dots everywhere but a little larger in size and here the same, but with a little smaller dots and here again dots a little bigger but right in the corner and we will continue like this until we complete the entire canvas.

We will make dots, sometimes bigger and sometimes smaller and changing the color. Now that we have the paint almost dry we are going to make smaller dots on the ones we already have made, always in a lighter tone. shade than the one with the dot that is already done and now we have the paint very dry, partially dry then with a wet cotton swab we are removing all the lines well we have practically finished it we just need to give it a coat of varnish although I would wait a few days until that the paint was well dry because although it feels dry to the touch the spots are not dry so I recommend leaving it for 15 or 20 days then I recommend leaving it for 15 or 20 days and wait no more. you really liked the video and see you in the next one see you soon goodbye
