Roses And The Moon - Dot painting

Roses And The Moon dot painting at night

Roses set against a full moon, the flowers dark and the sky darker. Almost everything depends on how heavily you fill the background.

Dark backgrounds sound messy, but dot painting keeps it clean: markers instead of paint, and printed circles instead of guesswork.

What is in the dot painting kit

Everything you need comes in one box:

• Printed canvas: sturdy, with the petals cleanly drawn.
• Guide: a handful of notes on a page.
• Double-tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the sky and the petals.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the thorns and the rose centers.

Long quiet stretches

Filling a night sky is the most meditative work in the range. The hand keeps moving and the evening slips by.

Late hours suit this one; fill the dark sky while the house sleeps and let the quiet do the soothing. A dot art painting kit with everything included.

A moon left untouched

Leave the moon's disc bare and darken everything around it. The moon then appears without a single dot inside.

Deep, densely filled sky makes the blossoms glow by contrast, giving the finished piece a dramatic, nocturnal look.
