Artwork #978 – Leftover Paint Pot Challenge

In this beginner-friendly tutorial, I'll show you how I transformed leftover paint from previous projects into another unique piece of dot art. During filming, I accidentally missed recording part of the mandala. Rather than starting over, I decided to leave it in and simply walk you through the missing section. Mistakes happen, and I hope this shows that creating art isn't about perfection—it's about enjoying the process and learning along the way. This design uses leftover purple, white, and peach acrylic paints to create a bold, relaxing mandala. The base is matte black acrylic, and the tool sizes are shown throughout the video in the Red Maple Leaf, making it easy to paint along at your own pace. One of the goals of NobleArts is to prove that beautiful art doesn't require buying new supplies. Using leftover paint, recycled surfaces, and materials you already have is a great way to reduce waste while continuing to create. Every Leftover Paint Pot Challenge is unique because the colours are chosen from whatever paint is left over from previous projects. 🛠️ Materials Used • Recycled CD (donated by The B-Side Record Shop in Trail, BC) • 1 coat of FolkArt Multi-Surface Acrylic and 1 coat of DecoArt Crafters Acrylic – Black (base coats) • Leftover acrylic paint from previous projects • DIY Mandala Stone tools • Basic stylus dotting tools, and Dollar Store micro dotting tool • Happy Dotting Company 16-section template, Amazon mandala template, and a water-soluble pencil 🎵 Music from Pixabay. 🎨 Keep calm and Noble On! ▶️ Watch more in Dot Art | The Complete Collection    • Dot Art | The Complete Collection   💖 Want to Support My Work?
