The 16" Pink Mirror Mandala
Soft pinks melting into rich magenta, flowing leaf swooshes, white walking dots and little textured accents, all on a pale violet background. Paint it with me from start to finish.
Watch at your own pace. Pause, rewind and paint along.

Hi, I'm Lina
I'm a Ukrainian-born artist in Northern California and a certified art therapy practitioner. I've been dotting since 2016 and have taught more than 1,000 students in over 30 countries.
I don't want you to just copy me. I want you to understand why each dot goes where it does, so you can make your own designs.
My lessons are calm and unhurried. I explain everything as I paint, including my little mistakes and how I fix them.
Good to know
Do I need experience?
Yes, some. This is a project class: we paint one piece together, and I don't teach the basics step by step. You should be comfortable with dots and have tried a few brushstrokes. If you're new, start with Level 1: Confidence, or with Brushstroke Mandalas (Level 4) for brushwork.
Do I need the exact same supplies?
No. I share exactly what I used and where to buy it, plus easy alternatives. Use what you have and experiment.
What size is the piece?
It's painted on a 16" wood round around an 8" mirror.
Do I need a stencil?
No. I show you how to create the leaf shapes with a compass.
Can I use different colors?
Yes! Go more purple, lavender, red, or even green or blue. Just keep your gradient going smoothly from light to dark.
Want more brushstroke practice?
My Brushstroke Foundations worksheets are printable practice sheets. The full Brushstroke Mandalas (Level 4) course goes deep into brushwork, surfaces, color and large pieces.
