Hi. Kristin, I love to watch your videos; I been collected some stones to start soon, you are my inspiration in this field. Earlier I had no idea about 'Dot painting'. Your all dot painting are pretty and gorgeous. 🙏 Zz from Canada 🇨🇦.

it's so beautiful, kristin! like a cactus mandala or a succulent 🌵 you're so talented, thanks for sharing your amazing art!
WOW! lovelovelove this color combination
Thank you my dearest Kristin for another beautiful, fantabulous tutorial video... I don’t know how you do it ... but genuinely appreciate your patience with putting it all together for us to enjoy and paint along with you. As usual... the heck with house cleaning. I found an elevated lazy Susan/ turn table in the “ Wilson” cake making etc isle at Michaels ...
Beautiful! 🌿💚🍀✳️🍃🌲🦎🐸🛶📗💚❇️
Thank you, Kristin, for this excellent step-by-step video. I LOVE your design and am just about to sign off and go try it out. Wonderful instruction, thanks!
It is so soothing that I watch them again n again. Your kind voice & lucid narration never diminishes the charm. I tried some patterns with pencil n chopsticks on glass bottles ,turned out fab!
Beautiful....I’m in awe of your talent....thanks for sharing
Kristin I could sit and watch you create these rock beauties all day long and listen to your very calming voice. You have an awesome talent and you use it for good and that says a lot about you as a person. I need a hobby to do so badly as I suffer from grief and depression and a few other health issues as well. I lost my only grandchild in 2014 to a drunk driver who was 3X's the legal limit and my life hasn't been the same since. My husband and I raised him as our very own because our daughter just couldn't get her life straight to be a mother until about 12 months before the crash happened. So I tell folks that we didn't only lose a grandson but rather we lost a son as well and our sweet precious little boy was only 4 years old and he was such a happy little boy too. The only comfort I get is just knowing I will see him again one day soon and everything will be made right and I won't ever have to be without him in my life again.
Where do you find/buy your beautiful rocks you use when you do rock painting? Maybe one day soon I'll get brave enough to give it my best shot and try to create something pretty. Thank you again for being so giving of your time and talent for those that either just love to watch or those that are here to learn from the master so to speak. God bless you always Kristin and your awesome creations. Take care!!
Someone said to get them at a landscaping place. They have beautiful round stones for less than anyone and certainly easier than trying to find river rocks in nature. Prayers for peace and comfort. I know you are going through a difficult time but like you said, you will be reunited with him one day.
Beautiful color choices! Thank you for sharing your art. :)
Love this!!! I know I can do this one!!
J’adore 🥰 Merci pour ce magnifique partage 🙏🙏

Gorgeous! Thank You
I've watched a few of your videos now and your work is so beautiful! I have been painting rocks "the old fashioned way" and can't wait to try your dotting technique. Remember when pet rocks were a thing? Lol 😃 I love rocks and love your work, especially the tips and tricks like the blowdryer and candleholder. Also the way you choose your color schemes is very inspirational. Thank you for sharing your skills!
Very Beautiful as always Kristin!! Tfs :)
Lovely!
Just awesome. You make it feel easy...😉
Magnifique !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial, i especially like that you showed how to mix paint colors and tool sizes for this project. I have watched many tutorials and very few show how to mix paint colors. I am grateful for your detailed instruction. I read your bio. I hope your husband is well, my husband and I are both cancer survivors. Subscribing to your channel.
Excellent artwork! 👌

I'm just beginning, this is an excellent video, thank you. You can get a small set of dotting tools in beauty supply stores (or even Walmart), they are used for nail art, great size for small rocks.

Do you take supplies when you travel or go on vacation? If so, how do you pack and what do you take?
Ty:)
It has been a few years i first saw this dotting art on Etsy. I was (and still am) mesmerised by this simple idea and yet so effective. In all the videos i watched no one is talking about the preparation of the stone itself. Where do you get them? they are all so almost perfectly rounded. Do you apply the basic coat under the black satin layer? Have you ever tried other backgrounds than black? Thank you.
After watching just about every video out there on dot painting, and trying my hand at it, I discovered that there are better paints than others to use. Of course the paints I have, are really to thin. But I don't want to spend an arm and leg to replace them just yet. I can use them for other thing The medium that you are using, is that what I would use to thicken them up? I love your work and I really want to master this technique.
👏👏👏🎨
Dear Kristin, I really adore your work and I’m very inspired by all your art! I am a beginner and I want to know if I can use nailpolish to make the dots? I used to be a nailstylist and still have a hugh amount of polish left. With kind regards, Wendy
Hello....so beautiful as always. Where can I find theses 3 inch smooth flat stones? Thanks.
Im new to this. What do you use the pouring medium for in your paint?
Wonderful work. Very inspiring. Do you ever finish with an epoxy resin pour?
If you find a small turntable or lazy susan, you can hot glue a glass or votive candle holder to it. A few drops of hot glue around the rim of your glass and it will provide a nonslip grip for your rocks as well.
Can you tell me what your satin spray is?
Thank you
HI Kristen, is that a stone or a poured stone using a mold? If it is a mold, where did you get it? Thanks, piece is beautiful.
When putting ur colors into the palette, do u have to use the medium?
U are beautiful... thx for share your experience...can i ask you the name of tools That u used for make big points?
Greetins lady
This one for m'y sister that are Her favorite colors
Just beautiful as always! Kristin, I can't find your facebook page. Could you send the URL? Thanks.
Where do you buy these stines? New to crafting.
I have not tried painting on anything but canvases. I definitely want to try coffee mugs and I would like to make coasters. What material would you suggest. Kindly b advise. New to dot painting. Thank you.
Hello! Gorgeous! Absolutely amazing!! I must give this a try! Can you tell me, what is the purpose of the Liquitex Pouring Medium I noticed you blended into your paints? Is that what keeps the acrylic paints looking wet and glossy when dry?? In my limited experience with paints they always look more matt or chalky when they dry. Any suggestions?
The pouring medium actually makes the paint more fluid and less thick when you dot it. I've found that certain whites are very thick/viscous and remain raised after you dot them, and then they actually can crack when they dry. If you're into rock painting, I would suggest looking up pouring rocks, where you also use the pouring medium, to make beautiful fluid designs! That and mandalas are my current favorites in the rock painting world right now!
Hi Kristin ! May I ask what finishing spray you use ?
Again! I love your voice! Where do you buy your paint?
What does pouring medium do? I guess it dries clear? I would have thought it would dilute the color, but it doesn't! Weird stuff!
Lois Hoffer it thins and makes the paint flow smoothly.
Can I buy one of these stones from you? They are amazing
You're very talented and I like your interpretation of the colors. The details are gorgeous!
I have but one time used paints, so may I ask a few questions?
* Why do you need a pouring medium? Is the paint is too thick?
* What is the name of the substance you are using to make the paint thick enough so it doesn't slide down the side of the rock?
* Are you sealing the rock before painting the design and if so, with what? Only a black paint?
* Can you use the same paint for glass as you do for rocks?
Thanks in advance for your time answering questions and also for the video.
Ekim Yazici I’ll try answering them for you
* Yes, the acrylics in tube are thick. Also they dry super fast & are expensive. So for better flow & less wastage.
* You can use any good acrylic medium.
* Yes, black acrylic paint coating is sufficient for coverage.
* Yes the same paints work very well on glass.
Thank you so much for doing these amazing videos for us. I have a question where do you get your stone's from and what are they called they are all so perfectly smooth and oval do you buy them in bulk? I live in Indiana know have seen people get them near water but have no idea where to start here. Appreciate if you could let me know want to start making them. I have saved hundreds of videos most are yours because you explain everything so well and tell us exactly what to use to create our own. So many do a fast videos no talking nothing in the comments what they used. So truly appreciate your kindness for taking time out of your busy life to do these for us. Keep forgetting to ask you where you get your stone's. THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU COULD LET ME KNOW. 😃 ❤
Landscape companies usually sell the river rocks by the pound.
I buy my white river rocks at my local Lowes hardware for a huge bag its around $10.00 and I get about 50 too 70 various size rocks.
*to, sorry I didn’t catch that grammar error!
Hi! Beautiful Stone! You're looking for a 'Banding Wheel', available on Amazon. Karen
Aww that's so very sweet of you to give that info to Kristin and I'm sure she will appreciate it as well. God bless and take care!
Hi Kristin...another great video. If I had not watched all your I would never know how to do dotting. You my friend tough me everything I know and I want to thank you..I also want to know what happened to your earlier videos ? The one that showed how to make 3 different stones in one video.. I need to see that one again,but can’t find it..help me please.
Message me on my facebook page and I can send you the link.
Very nice:)what kind of tools can i get to make this?
lisa krupsky Hi - you may find the list what you’re looking for under her description.
maybe someday there will be a paint option of similar properties that is not harmful to the environment.
"Some of the commonly added acrylic mediums also release formaldehyde as they dry....Propylene glycol, for example, is safe enough for use in the food and cosmetic industry, but has a disastrous effect in aquatic environments, meaning that pouring acrylic waste water down the drain is damaging to waterways."
Esta trabajando el internet muy lento
