Wooden Cross- How to dot paint with Kristin Uhrig

This tutorial is intermediate in difficulty. I show you how to draw guidelines and paint a 12 inch wooden cross to look like stained glass, or jeweled, using dotting tools. The style and colors are based on the beautiful, old churches I visited on a trip to Jerusalem. All tools and paints are listed below.
