This is one of my first pieces of artwork. I’m now offically a full blown artist.

Enjoy, do different colours, different shapes. You’ll be amazed at what these dots can do!!


Material

  • Tooth picks or skewers.
  • Paints (Thick paint)
  • Canvas

Method

  1. Clean and dry canvas.
  2. Set paints up, choose colouring to your desire.
    Create a story, paint anything you want
  3. Dip the skewer into paint, only the tip. Then press gently onto canvas board.
    Continue until you get preferred pattern.

    (Only call it Aboriginal dot painting if youre of Aboriginal decent. Otherwise, it is just a dot painting)

  • Looks great. When they are being taught this they start with 5 colours. The less colours on a painting the more experienced the painter!

  • your dots are bigger than skewer or tooth pick points. what did you use in photo.


    • This was the thick end of a skewer 🙂 The paint is thick and when placed down, creates the dot to be a tad bigger than the skewer itself 🙂
