- Resin Your Art Rocks - No Experience Needed! Using this Easy How to Art Resin on Rocks Tutorial! I used Art Resin to finish 5 painted rocks in this video- there were 4 different kinds of paint on the rocks. I used Water color Pencils, Watercolor Pens, Fluid Acrylic Paint and Standard Acrylic Paint. Using the resin just makes each of the rocks colors show so much depth and richness. Give it a try and see if you love this simple technique as much as I do!
Art Resin is a lovely product that is mixed 1:1. It doesn't have any VOCs, has a very light oder that is slightly floral, no chemical smell to it in my opinion. I has about 45 minutes of open time and is really easy to work with. It says that it is non yellowing and that is really great especially when we are covering our art work with it.
Make sure to check out the Art Resin Coverage Calculator at bit.ly/ArtResinCalculator to cover these 5 rocks I used only about 1 ounce total of the mixed resin!

You will need a Fully dried/cured and painted projects
Any items colored with watercolor media I used the Krylon UV protecting spray gloss (it's not really glossy to my eye more satin finished. I used it to seal the watercolor media to the stones just incase it would be reactivated - It might not be necessary I"ll have to test that.
Disposable cup to mix the resin in
Stirring sticks (Anything that can be used to stir the resin that you don't mind throwing away.
Disposable Gloves
Small Butane Torch (Kitchen section - torch for Creme Brulee): amzn.to/2LsbI2W (The only time I use a torch with my art is when I am using Resin- It is recommended by the Art Resin company people to use a torch for the most effective bubble removal.)
Something to cover your surface (I used Reynolds Plastic Coated Freezer Paper)

If your rock has been resined can you paint over the resin to make your drawing? Do you just paint? What can you use...acrylic? Ink? Paint pens? Do you have to put a layer on the resin to prep for the painting? If so..what do you use/do? Thank you..I am a newbie and have looked everywhere for answers to these questions. I used leftover resin on a few rocks...now don't know how to paint them. Thank you for any help you can provide!
Oh my gosh! I just found this message- I’m so sorry!! Yes you can paint right on top of resin with acrylic paint and acrylic paint pens and the either resin over two top or spray with clear acrylic sealer. Have fun and experiment
Thank you for this video. My first attempt was dismal. Learned from this.
I’m so happy that you didn’t give up and you found my video to be helpful. Thank you for watching and giving it another try!
These are so pretty. Great rocks.
Your channel is such a joy - thank you for creating and sharing!
Can't wait until the mug tutorial! Rocks are awesome!😄
I use Liquitex High Gloss Varnish (waterbased). No smell, no risk and same shine after about 3 coats with 3 hours between each coat. It’s easy to work with, and it’s best to use a foam brush.
Thank you! Great suggestion
Great video! Easy to follow instructions. Thank you for sharing!!
AWESOME!!
Excellent drawing sister go ahead
awesome Steph. I so so love the them all, but the leaves and dragonflies
awe! Thank you Colleen! I really appreciate you watching and commenting! I love the leaves and dragonfly too!
So love your video's. You are so talented. I so wish I was an artist ♥️
How do you deal with the other side of the rock? I get sharp edges around the flat spot? I use my dremel to sand them or I put them on nail tips to dry. ( less contact surface) no one ever talks about the side it lays on or shows it.?
Can you use this technique with UV resin?
I don’t know- I haven’t ever used UV resin- I would imagine it would work but you would need to test it for yourself. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing the video. For me, there's nothing to beat a resin finish.
As I prefer the signed base of my pre-cast stones to be as glossy as the top, I apply the resin in two separate stages, base first and let it cure then do the same to the top. The main problem I have doing it this way is getting runs but the more I do, the runs are getting less frequent.
Your coffee & leaf rock, and your leaf rock...
How did you do them?
Did you draw them free hand?
What did uou use, paint, markers or pens?
Thank you from Ontario
Hi there! I used the Arteza Watercolor brush pens and drew them free hand. On the coffee cup I drew in with a Micron Pen and let it dry then colored with the watercolor markers. I was playing and didn’t record doing them. Thank you for watching and your question!
For the bright rock, the fluid acrylic paint.. I'm trying to find that kind of paint. I want those bright colors to paint my rocks with. The only thing I can find is fluid pouring paint. Is that the same thing?
Hi! Thank you for watching and your question-
If you mean the one that has the poured sunset landscape on the white rock that was Bombay Inks in Liquitex Pouring Medium. The combination of transparent colors in the clear pouring medium in the white surface is what gave that super bright color. Hope that helps!
💖
Where do you find such big flat rocks ??? Love them
roberta wilkins oh so sorry I had it seen your question. I just did a search for Santorini stones on google and found sites that offered the stones for sale.
I love the mug too... Did you use a compass for the circle?
KM Crafts I used the Helix Circle tool. It’s really cool and I have been using it more and more. I’ll show it in the video when I do the cup with the pumpkin, leaves and cookies. Going to be a bit longer. I hope folks enjoy that.
My granddaughter loves your channel and wants to ask have you ever done a pour with that stringpull thingy! 😂😂😂😂 Those were her words! I’m thinking of how I could make up something for her to try it, She said she’d love to do it but it’s too messy. I’ll figure something out just to keep her interest in art
I put mine on a silicone mat instead of freezer paper.. it does not stick at all
Darlene Cheek great tip! Thank you.
I tried silicone mats and mine stuck, and the drips were awful to peel off before the next batch. Last night I used baking parchment paper and nothing stuck at all! I ordered a box of brown half sheet pan size. We’ll use them for cooking too. Thank you for this great video. No matter what I try I get bubbles and divots after some of the bubbles pop late in the curing. After brainstorming I thing I may be being too stingy with my top resin coat and putting my torch too close which seems to almost instantly harden the resin not allowing it to fully level out. Do you have any thoughts? Thank you.
Use a silicone pastry mat..no worries!!!
Thank you for another great, short video!! Have been thinking of trying resin.. and now, I am eager to get to Michaels to buy some!! Do you do this indoors? Do you have to have very good ventilation?
Carol McCollum yes, the art resin doesn’t have any VOCs and the scent is softly floral. I’m super sensitive to strong odors and the Art Resin doesn’t set off any breathing issues for me.
When she says "freezer paper" is that wax paper or parchment paper?
Hi there, freezer paper is a plastic coated paper - you can find it in a few places- In the kitchen storage wrap isle by the foil and plastic wrap. Or on the Canning supplies isle or in the Quilting supplies at the craft store. Finally you can find Reynolds freezer paper on Amazon. Good luck!
Can they be used outside now?
Thank you for watching! Yes they can be left outside they are perfectly sealed all the way around so the paint won't be affected by moisture.
Parchment paper is the trick, resin will not stick.
have you ever taken a painted patio paver and put resin on it? If you have, is it possible to get a very smooth finish on it? Pavers have all kinds of dips and holes in it, but just wondering, because I paint them sometimes with beautiful paintings, but sealer just does not cut it when it comes to putting them out on a porch or near a swimming pool in the summer, etc..I need a way to make them stay beautiful after I am finished painting them.
Very nice tutorial. You were recommended by Art Resin. Curious with the watercolor pencils what is the best “base coat” - acrylic or watercolors? Thank you.
Jane A. Thomas water colors are much easier to draw over with the colored pencils! So cool that you found me on the Art Resin Site! Whoohoo!
DeliberatelyCreative Yes, I just purchased Art Resin and sent them an email asking how to properly apply resin to an entire stone. They provided a link to your tutorial. I have now found your tutorial on the watercolor penciled rocks. Super cool. Thanks again.
Awesome video! I just started painting rocks and finding it a fun hobby. Do you keep your rocks outside at all? Our climate here in Canada is cold so just wondering how that resin will hold up in the outdoors.
You might want to watch Rachel's Rocks of a
Canada on CZcams. She uses Resin too. Her work is Awesome just like this lady.
Ok I’m kinda new to rock painting and have just been using a spray sealant. I’d love to try the resin but do you have to have the torch for it to work right??
Thanks for your helpful tutorial. Is your torch butane, propane or is it a heat gun? Which would you recommend?
It’s a butane torch that I only use with my resin projects. Thank for watching!!
Is it necessary to do a layer of dried/cured mod podge or sealant before doing the resin?
C. Matsudaira the only time I would do a seal coat if if there are bits that would float up and move. Otherwise I just put the resin on right over the water color pens and acrylic paints none of them re activate with the art resin.
@@DeliberatelyCreative what about metallic paint pens? Also thank you so much for answering my questions.
I tried asking for help in the rock painting group on FB and everyone just kind of ignored me. :/ Like resining is some big secret or something. Haha
C. Matsudaira I think that sometimes in the different Facebook groups folks don’t want to give the wrong information or they think someone else will answer it better so they just go past with out any answer. It can be a bit frustrating. Glad I coup
D be of some help. As for the metallic paint pens. I don’t have any experience with them and resin so my answer would be to put some in a simple pattern like a heart or star on a roc and mix up a tiny amount of resin like 1 T of resin to 1 T of hardner mix for the 2 minutes and then put it on the rock and see what happens. I personally would rather “ruin” a simple rock than one that took several hours to complete. And if it works you can still hide the simple cute rock too!
Did you use a rock under the rocks while curing to level?
my table was really level. You can use some small rocks but if the resin flows under it could attach the rocks to the bottom. Then you have a heck of a time to get them off. LOL
Did you seal or treat the rocks in any way before you colored/painted them?
Hi there! Nope! Just did the Inktense pencils made sure they were dry really well. They don’t rewet so they stay put. I didn’t prep the stone before the pencils either- just washed the dust off the stone.
Loved the video. It was very helpful. I work in either acrylic paint or water based pens, or a combination of both. When I resined I noticed spots that looked slightly pitted. Hard to explain exactly but I did notice on your poppy rock you had some of the same. What is that caused by and what do I need to do to prevent that or fix it? Thank you.
The pitting can be caused by a couple things-1 it could be imperfections in the rock and the resin settles into the lowest spots. 2 it could be air bubbles that surfaced an popped and it was late and setting up a bit and didn’t fill back in. 3 it could be dust settling on the surface and creating an imperfection.
In rocks- I don’t worry about the imperfections - but if I wanted a perfectly smooth surface I would sand and wipe and then do another coat of resin and repeat until it was acceptable. Remembering that you have to let it cure at least 24 hours(or more depending on the thickness of the resin)
Thanks for watching!!
@@DeliberatelyCreative Thanks for the quick response. I had the rocks covered so it was not dust but could be either 1. or 2. Is it possible to take a tab of Mod Podge or similar and dab that into the spot? I might give it a shot just to experiment and see. This is a learning opportunity for sure. Thank you.
these are beautiful and you make it look easy..but isn't it expensive to use resin for kindness rocks? Or are these rocks you save/sell?
I haven't ever sold any of my rocks yet. I have been thinking of doing that though. I love how they look and just think how special you would feel if you came across a beautiful resined rock. It would be like finding a gem or a gold coin. The cost of of 1 ounce of mixed up art resin is a bit more than varnish but the effect is worth it to me. :)
Could you use a hair dryer instead of a torch?
People in my rock group do.
Hello, those are beautiful stones! I have been experimenting with putting resin on my rocks and have a difficult time with the bottom of the stones. Even putting them on silicone mats leaves a little mark on the bottom from where they sat on the silicone. I just tried from someone else's comment to resin the bottom first, wait 24 hours then resin the top, so am trying that now. There has to be a better easier solution!?
That didn't work either! I did the bottoms of the rocks first and after 24 hours, I did the tops of the rock being careful to use the smallest amount of resin and being sure to smooth the sides of the rock with a gloved hand. After 24 hours, the bottom of the rocks still had little marks where they sat on the silicone mat even though I didn't put any resin on the bottom on the rocks as well a few drip marks where the top and bottom of the rock met. What did you do differently that you didn't get any marks on the bottoms of your rocks even though you coated the entire thing in resin? Angela from The Happy Dotting Company coats her entire rocks in resin than rests them on 3 nails driven through a wood block to dry. She does get little marks from the nails though. This is driving me crazy!
If you painted your rocks with jjust acrylic paints, will you still need to do a light spray with another sealer before you apply the resin? Or can you do straight resin to acrylic painted rocks?
Naturally Sierra thank you for watching! You can just go ahead and resin right over acrylic paint no problem.
@@DeliberatelyCreative thank you!! New to this and can't wait to try!
What type of torch is that?
Hi, what is your policy is someone uses a tracing for example of yours and paints something and wants to sell. it?
Believe 3.0 hi as long as it is being hand drawn or hand painted in a limited quantity I don’t have a problem. If you want to draw something or paint it for someone and can get paid for it awesome. Please give credit to me as the designer of the image or that you were inspired by my image.

I looked at one of your images and it is a PUBLIC image. I don't know how you took credit for someone else's image And want me to give you credit... @@DeliberatelyCreative
Where do you buy the resin?
I got on Amazon
Instead of using the freezer paper try using one of those silicone cooking mats
Coleen Taylor oh that is an awesome suggestion! Thank you for watching and sharing!
Please…….please…..use a mask when you use resin,!!!!!
Thank you for watching. Yes always take safety precautions based on the materials safety information
NOT FAMILIAR....
No fumes?!???!
Yes! Art Resin is the brand and they are not stinky at all. A very light almost floral scent.
