Painting rocks is fun! Cool video!

[@sunn7045]

My 5th grade teacher's mom actually paints rocks and I remember being super amazed by them. I've always wanted to paint(in general) after seeing those.

[@yvonneost12]

I used to paint rocks about 15 yrs ago , just decided as my movement is sort of limited atm while waiting for a hip replacement ( yuk ) I'd take it up again , i'm just hoping i've still got it LOL as trompe l'oeil is my real love and wall murals ~ painted all my life but some of the rocks I see online ( you tube ) are absolutely brilliant just hope I can sharpen up my not so great skills again , thanks for the video ( I sub'd ) have a nice day regards Sydney , Australia.

[@simpleartideas]

Such a wonderful way to color the rocks... lovely! :)

[@frostedplanet9546]

This looks really fun! I've painted a couple rocks, but I was a lot younger, so I think I'll give it a shot again. Also, I'm really struggling with cast shadows, could you do a tutorial on working out where they would be and such? Lovely video & art as always!

[@rattusedits]

I have painted a rock a few weeks ago and I made a turtle, I like all of you videos Valerie, they really help me, thanks so much!😊✏️

LEFTY!! You are immediately in the lefty club

[@hamdan8516]

wow beautiful👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

[@marixx9848]

Awww that's really adorable I should put my paints to better use and try that. But what kind of sealant did you use to protect it?

[@gaehedgehog41]

I paint rocks and I use regular varnish but it can quite thick so a lot of people use spray selant

[@shadowkinder8184]

My class painted rocks for community day at my school!!

[@teya_aprilprincesses3472]

What paint did u use and I love your drawing ✍️

[@pratimashah5894]

Reply plz

[@moonknightproductions]

ooh, Blue morpho!

[@andreashomemade668]

what kind of ink / paint you use for painting rocks? thanks

[@ColoredMud]

I'm going to make hundreds of panda rocks now, I thank you for your creative insight o_o

[@SilverScreenJean]

Can you seal the rock in resin so it is nice and shiny? Also if one does a rock using colored pencils or watercolor, does it need any different sealant?

[@GlaciaGalaxy]

My mom actually suggested we do this a couple months ago!

[@ChildrensWorld57]

What spray do you use after it’s done ? Tp protect it!

[@judyhuffman4732]

Please can you do a Dragonfly Thanks Love your stuff

[@jamiefoley3718]

When I am rock hunting I choose rocks that immediately tell me what they want to be =)

[@lisatran4504]

I love this so much. Thanks for inspiring me. Also you should leave your name in the back so they know how to find you

[@guris871]

What if i only have poster colours will they work and how to make poster colour permanent can you tell me its an emergency

[@pratimashah5894]

Which color u used?acrylic paint?

[@meadowguard101]

Can you do a tutorial on how you drew the mermaid hair for mermay? I love how it look like there are a bunch on hairs together. But I can't seem to do it. Can you help??

[@Butwheredotheducksgo]

Its July

[@courtneymckeown4017]

Demons and Doodles No duh dipstick they wanted to know how she drew the hair

[@Arvaamaton]

I suppose I haven't paint any rocks since kindergrden so I need to try this.

[@emmy1rod]

How do you seal a rock you want to place outside?

[@Britneybuu]

For anyone wanting to do this you can use mod podge to seal it, but be aware I did this and it made my colors look a bit dull. It's an easy and accessible option though.

[@jamiefoley3718]

Do not use mod podge it your rocks will be outdoors!

[@cherylkemplen9072]

I love panted rocks

[@bugsyfreebury2631]

What is the best way to seal the Rock, once it has been painted. I have a friend who is struggling and I am trying to find a way to help her make money and I thought this would be a great thing for her to sell rock paintings. Can she pain Rocks out of home-made paint. Both her and her husband lost their jobs.

[@christineschmidt1025]

What sealant do you use? I tried Mod Podge which worked but it remains sticky. So I used Krylon Low Odor Clear Finish, but it was matte-I like shiny. The only thing is, that is considered toxic, not non-toxic.

[@laylar9240]

Christine Schmidt one tip for mod podge (I use it) is to use very very thin coats. I hope this helps you! Have a great day!

[@hansendesigns]

Mod podge is basically thick elmers glue. It is not a sealant for something that might be exposed to any amout of moisture, forget surviving the outdoors. :) so just go to home depot/hardware store and get a good spray sealer, ask the attendant if you are not sure of what you want. Something meant to survive the outdoors :)

[@mylamatthews7698]

DecoArt has a sealant and if you choose to use sharpie or gel pens(which works great) , the DecoArt sealant will not smudge it at all . totally recommend it

[@maroon1710]

The rock that would crack is called a mud rock. It's just compressed mud. Sometimes there's fossils inside them.

[@Gantorin]

They painted rock at my job (insurance)... Still not sure why, but that is how I feel about a lot of the things that go on here.

[@cynthiaalt6870]

Timothy Messer Sounds like THE OFFICE

[@djmidnightfoxpowergirl9895]

Hello Valerie! I love this video! Would u mind making a anime video? Ive been doing it for a while but can u help me out? God bless ya!

[@cherylsterrenburg2186]

Just a note of caution - many beaches/parks have made it illegal to take things away from there (hefty fines)

[@madelinemiller4839]

Painting rocks already left my town... I have like 20 of them

[@pilyglot3037]

And if you're really lacking rocks in your natural surroundings (or are too lazy to look for them), you can find small bags of them at Dollar Tree, or a craft store such as Michael's.

[@ArtalaCarte]

+christa627 great tip!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@nato-o935]

You should draw wings of fire dragons

[@emmabradbury6901]

BlossomHeart7704 Animation yes!!

[@nato-o935]

[@oriorchids]

Emma Bradbury At this time W.O.F 10 has been made

[@libbym1363]

THATS WHAT MY TOWN DOES!!!!!! WE HIDE ROCKS AND REHIDE AND PAINT AND EVERYTHING!!!! #IFROCKS

[@idkldk2179]

LibbyM13 Mine is #PensacolaRocks You have to write that on it somewhere, and most people draw the Facebook sign, (The white F in a blue box) and draw something else on it. So far my family has 3. We collect them.

[@kristenk1995]

I assume you are using acrylic paints. I follow a rock group and some were trying to use melted crayons etc.

[@clawrettadraws]

I just re-subbey!! Sry that happened Valerie!

[@ArtalaCarte]

+Clawretta 001 glad to have you back!

[@georgeschlaline2999]
