What this course actually is

Dots you can feel.

Regular dot art is beautiful. Textured dot art is something else entirely - dimensional, sculptural, deeply satisfying to look at and to make. This course teaches you the full toolkit: puffy 3D mixtures, squeeze bottle technique, raindrop effects, and more.

This is Lina's most advanced and most requested course. Some of the techniques here - including the raindrop method - were developed exclusively by her.

The raindrop technique

You may have seen it.
This is where it came from.

Lina developed the raindrop effect - clear, dimensional dots that look like dewdrops on your mandala - and has been teaching it since 2016. If you've ever wanted to know exactly how it's done, this is the only place to learn it from the person who created it.

Lina, dot art instructor
Your instructor
Hi, I'm Lina.
"I was the first to develop 3D raised dot techniques using squeeze bottles."

I've been completely immersed in the world of dot art since 2016. The techniques you'll learn in this course - the puffy mixture, the squeeze bottle method, the raindrop effect - were developed and refined by me over years of experimentation.

As a Certified Art Therapy Practitioner, I design all my courses to be skill-building and calming. Learning should feel good. So should making art.
