Why I built Beautiful Brushstrokes
I know how tedious and often frustrating brushstrokes can be.
Even with two decades of experience as a painter, I still struggled with them in the earlier days of my painting practice.
Other artists made them look so effortless, while I felt unsteady and unsure, only able to truly master a single direction of stroke for months on end.
What I didn't understand at the time, was just how much of a role factors like wrist movement and bristle strength played.
Inside Beautiful Brushstrokes I break down the step-by-step formula for becoming masterful at beautiful brushstrokes, so that you too can elevate your mandala painting practice to new heights, new designs, and new price points.
Meet your teacher
Hi, I'm Lauren
Former high school art teacher turned full-time mandala artist. It's not an exaggeration to say that brushstrokes exploded my mandala practice and practically built my business.
There's just something so magnetic about incorporating brushstrokes into your mandala designs, whether your goal is to sell more, grow an audience, or simply fall even further in love with your own meditative pieces.
I'd go as far to say that I am literally obsessed with the feeling that executing the perfect brushstroke brings, and inside this one-of-a-kind curriculum I'm breaking down my process piece-by-piece, so that students of mine can experience it, too.
Inside BB, you'll master every tiny detail involved in executing the perfect stroke- from bristle strength to brush grip to hand placement to wrist/finger movement, and everything in between.
The curriculum
A 5-part brushstroke curriculum
Two things make a brushstroke click: understanding the tiny movements that make up the perfect stroke, and lots of guided repetition. This curriculum is built around both.
Pre-Course: Brushstrokes Mastery Mindset
One of the biggest factors in becoming truly masterful at something is your mindset — this module busts through the blocks and limiting beliefs standing between you and beautiful brushstrokes.
Module 1: Paint Consistency & Mixing Mediums
Getting your paint to the right consistency before a single stroke even happens — the foundation everything else builds on.
Module 2: Brushes & Bristles
The best brushes and bristles for different kinds of strokes, and how to know which one to reach for, for the easiest, most beautiful results every time.
MODULE 3: THE ART OF THE PERFECT STROKE
Hand placement, posture, brush grip, pressure points, anchoring, and finger and wrist movement — and how to combine all of it for a perfect stroke.
Module 4: Must-Know Brushstrokes, Step by Step
Close-up video tutorials of the essential brushstrokes with accompanying practice sheets, repeated until each one becomes second nature.

Beautiful Brushstrokes
Real feedback from real students
@sandy_private_design
Six months ago I entered the magical world of mandala dot painting. After a few weeks of intensive practice, I was drawn to the "swooshes" I saw on YouTube. No matter how many you tube tutorials I watched, I just couldn't get the hang of it.
And then I found Lauren's account on Instagram.
I loved her style and technique. She came across as very personable and authentic. I became an avid follower. A while later I signed up for one of her courses, and that's when everything changed for me.
Her teaching method is easy to follow, she explains very clearly how to hold the paint brush, when to apply pressure and when to ease up.
She shares your thought process during the painting as well as how she approaches the art itself in terms of mindset. Lauren's teaching are so much more than just technical.

FAQ
When can I start?
Immediately! You'll be sent access to the course materials as soon as you sign up, to work through on whatever time frame works for you, and refer back to for years to come, should you so choose.
How long do I have access to the course content for?
You have lifetime access to the Beautiful Brushstrokes curriculum!
How does it work?
We start by breaking down the different components of a beautiful brushstroke — paint choice and consistency, brush size, bristle length and flexibility, then hand placement and wrist and finger movement. From there, the workbook section gives you guided repetition across 20+ paint-along designs, so you don't just learn the swooshes, you become genuinely practiced in them.
Are there links for the recommended supplies inside the course?
Yes and no. The two main brush sets I use and discuss come with purchase links for Canada, the US, the UK, Australia and India inside Module 2. Beyond that I discuss the paint brand I use and recommend, but it's up to you to source it in your country.
Is there any support from you provided inside the course?
There's a questions section below each module that I keep active, so students can ask questions as they work through the material — however this isn't an included, guaranteed feature, and I'm not able to provide feedback on the brushstrokes you paint. BB is a DIY course and I'm able to offer it at a very accessible price point by not offering an official form of support. That said, if you ask a question there I'll do my best to respond.
English is not my first language. Are there subtitles or translations available?
Yes! Every video has the option to turn on captions and translate them into whatever language you need, right from the video player.
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the nature of BB and the content inside, there are no refunds available after purchase. This protects my digital products and helps ensure my business attracts those who respect the time and effort that's gone into creating it. Please be sure you're committed before signing up — if you have questions first, reach out any time.
I have more questions, can we chat first?
Of course! Send me an email with any questions to hello@loveanddots.com, or message me on Instagram @loveanddots.
