Cat Watching Birds In Snow - Dot painting

Cat Watching Birds In Snow dot painting on a cold morning

A cat at the window with snow falling behind it and birds on the branches outside. Snow is mostly bare canvas, so this design shows how much you can say by leaving areas untouched.

Think of dot painting as diamond painting minus the tiny gems and tweezers: markers, printed circles, and a tidy table.

What is in the dot painting kit

Everything you need comes in one box:

• Printed canvas: sturdy, with the window scene clearly drawn.
• Guide: practical notes for a confident start.
• Double-tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the cat and the window frame.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the birds and the snow-laden twigs.

Made for dark evenings

A winter scene is a fitting thing to dot in winter. The canvas comes out when darkness falls early and goes back in the cupboard when the days lengthen.

Phones stay in another room while snow falls on the canvas; the empty areas let your hands rest as much as your eyes. A dot art painting kit with everything included.

Snow made of nothing

Every flake is a gap. Dot the branches and the sky around them and the snow appears by itself, the neatest trick in the whole technique.

Bare canvas around the cat and birds gives a quiet, spacious look, and the dotted areas stand out like fresh frost on a pane.
