learning what not to buy.
Acrylic mediums are confusing. The labels lie. The YouTube tutorials skip the ratios. And the art store has 47 options with no explanation of which ones actually hold shape on a rounded surface, stay clear after curing, or blend without turning gummy.
Lina tested all of them so you don't have to. The result is a plain-English guide that tells you exactly what each medium does, what to mix it with, and whether it's worth buying for dot art specifically.

"I bought a gel medium and my dots turned gummy. I have no idea what I did wrong."
"My 3D dots looked perfect at first, then flattened out completely as they dried."
"My raindrop effect went completely cloudy overnight. I thought I was doing it right."
"I varnished a piece on stone and it got this horrible white halo ring. Lost the whole piece."
"I stood in the art store for 20 minutes trying to decide between three mediums and still got the wrong one."
"I spent over $400 testing mediums before I knew what I was doing. I built this course so nobody else has to."
— Lina West
The course costs $47. One wasted bottle of the wrong medium costs $15-25. Most people have thrown away four or five bad purchases before finding this guide. The math is simple.
I've been painting dot art since 2016 and teaching it for over 10 years. In that time I've worked through more failed medium experiments than I care to count - slumped 3D dots, cloudy raindrops, surfaces that rejected varnish entirely.
I started keeping records. Then testing systematically. 47 bottles later, I had something worth sharing - a plain-English guide to what each medium actually does for dot art specifically, not for oil painting or pouring or any of the other techniques the packaging assumes you're doing.
As a Certified Art Therapy Practitioner, I know that creative frustration is the fastest way to abandon a practice you love. This course removes the frustration so you can get back to the part that's actually calming.
