Rock painting is always fun! What could be better than to draw your favorite animal for Valentine’s Day as a gift for someone or even for yourself! 😉
Materials & tools:
- rocks
- acrylic paint (and a primer to prepare the rock surface)
- pencil and paint brush / or acrylic markers (if you are not using paint)
- clear top sealer spray / or liquid varnish for safe exterior use afterwards
- jar of water and a soft cloth to clear your brush
- Palette for blending colors.
Step-by-step instructions:
- Wash the rocks if you found them outside and let them dry (for 10-15 mins).
- Second step – is to paint it with the primer if you want it to have a background color – it can be All-purpose primer, or acrylic paint or chalk paint. Otherwise just keep if natural color, if you prefer it this way.
- After the primer is dry use pencil to draw the preliminary shape of the animal of your choice. I had a dog, a cat sitting on a tree branch and a Polar bear :).
- Then start coloring them, you can blend acrylic colors on a palette to achieve a smooth transition from one color to another, or just use a bright color if you shape is simple!
- Once you are happy with your design, let it dry for about 30-40 minutes and finish with the top coat! All set and done!
Enjoy!!! 🙂
