About

Welcome to my blog about dot painting!


My name is Patty Donathan. I live in a rural area of Southern California, half way between Los Angeles, and San Diego. My husband and I live with two little dogs that love their stroller when we travel in our RV.

I discovered dot painting in Dec of 2017.  I researched the subject for months before I bravely painted my first rock. I've been collecting info on things I've learnt in a notebook that helped me to get better at painting dots. That's what this blog will be about...helping the BEGINNER dot painter. Info I wished I could have found all in one place without having to search the Internet, Facebook Groups, Pinterest, YouTube and websites. I will do a resource page with links to the best ones I found. They are very helpful to continue learning.
