If you follow these simple steps you will be creating your own dot paintings in no time! Jump to tools you can use by clicking here

Set out a blob of paint. Test doing dots with the tools you will be using, thinning out the paint with water if necessary. Dots should have a solid colour and have a flat finish.

Reload your tool with paint after each dot - this will keep the dots all the same size. When you finish at chain of dots do not reload the paint as this will allow the last two dots to taper off.

If you are using a match, just wipe the end of the match stick and you can change colour immediately.
Bird tracks can be made by using a flat screwdriver. Test first on some scrap paper before applying to the boomerang.
