[@italiangirl2789]

Thank you, great tutorial!! I started painting rocks a couple of years ago, I can't even draw a stick person let alone paint one lol I'm no artist but, there is something about painting rocks, anyone can do it, painting is FUN & relaxing. You won't believe how many people love them!!❤ Edit: I always paint with brushes, I never thought to try the pens. Makes sense how so many painted rocks looks perfect and I'm always thinking "why can't my rocks ever look this good"? LOL

[@thaneeya]

Thanks for your comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed my rock painting tutorial! 😃 I like using paint markers on rocks because you can get consistent line widths AND there are no brushes to clean up afterwards! I really appreciate that convenience! 😁 Happy Rock Painting!! 🎨

[@thaneeya]

Thanks so much! 😃

[@surayasultana8590]

@@thaneeya Most welcome.

[@tealeadelmann3132]

awesome job! love the step by step instructions for a newbie. Can I use resin to protect the rock if I use stickles? Thanks

[@thaneeya]

Thanks so much for your great comment! 😃 Glad you enjoyed my video. I don't have any experience with resin, sorry! Stickles are essentially a water-based glitter glue, and I'm not sure if resin will fully cure on top of glitter glue? You could ask around on resin forums... Good luck with it all! 🎨

[@lindaburgess]

Do you paint all sides of your pebbles? Underneath as well I mean.

[@thaneeya]

Sometimes I paint a solid color on the bottom (underside) of the rock, but I usually just leave it unpainted, since no one will see the bottom. You can paint the bottom if you want to though! 😊

[@Pilonchis819]

I just discovered that I like to paint with a marker it's acrylic but I don't buy the poscas because for me they are very expensive I found other brands on Amazon thanks for the recommendation of the stones

[@thaneeya]

Glad to hear you found acrylic paint markers that you really enjoy that are within your budget! There are a lot of paint marker brands to choose from these days, which is great! Enjoy! 😃🎨✨
