Lion With Flowers - Dot painting

Lion With Flowers dot painting, mane and blossom

A lion framed by flowers, the mane and the petals running into each other. Two kinds of fullness on one canvas, which is what makes it interesting to dot.

Follow the circles and the lion appears, mane and all. Dot painting keeps this a tidy, handmade project from the first dot.

What is in the dot painting kit

Everything you need comes in one box:

• Printed canvas: firm, richly detailed.
• Guide: one short page.
• Double-tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the mane and the petals.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the face and the stamens.

Weeks of evenings

There is a great deal of canvas here. For most people that is the attraction rather than the drawback.

Give the easy petals to a young helper and keep the mane for yourself, or tuck in an unhurried hour alone. A dot art painting kit with everything included.

Keeping mane and flower apart

Hair runs in long directional strokes, petals sit in smooth curves. Follow each shape with your dots and the two never blur together.

Mane and petals seem to run together once it is framed. Lean in and each dot shows; step back and the lion simply glows.
