If Facebook and Pinterest are any indication, painted stones are extremely popular, particularly mandala stones. I took a look at YouTube to see if there were any tutorials on how to paint mandalas on stones and rocks. Here is what I found. Enjoy!

I look forward to your thoughts and comments!
I want to give this a try with the only well working body part I have (right hand)! I have ALS and can’t do photography anymore. All the river rock I can find seems more rough than yours. Is there a place I could purchase a few or you may have a better idea. Thank you.
Hi Lisa,
I don’t paint rocks myself. These videos were by other people who do, and since so many people seem to love the idea of painting rocks, I put this blog post together. Please contact http://zendoodle.magicgrove.net, http://www.elspethmclean.com, or https://sehnazbac.wordpress.com for information about where they purchase their stones.
Blessings to you, Atmara
Lisa, you can buy nice rocks from Lowe’s or Home Depot. Here is a link, there are others:

Thanks, Mary!
You can buy river stones at big home supply and garden stores. Very reasonable in price and smooth. People use them for landscaping.
Thanks, Gladys!
I am wondering what type of pen/brush was used?
You could ask the artists. Elpeth Mclean’s website is http://www.elspethmclean.com. Zendoodle Art and Stuff is found at http://zendoodle.magicgrove.net. I couldn’t find a website for Sehnaz Bac, but I know she is on Facebook. Happy painting!
Is there a special brush I need?
I don’t know since all my work is digital, but I’m sure you can contact the women who made these Youtube videos and ask.
