Rock Painting

Rock Painting

This time of year brings us indoors which brings out the creative soul and artist in lots of us. I’ve wandered outside of coloring to painting, and crocheting and collage decor, so many fun things to do while you are staying warm and safe inside your home and in your yard which led our family to do some rock painting.

Stone Painting Time

A ton of people have turned to stone painting to beautiful their own yard and to leave words of hope and happiness scattered around for others. It’s also a fabulous family fun activity to share with your kids of all ages.

A Year of Stone Painting: 52 Mandala Designs to Inspire Your Spirit 

The Art of Stone Painting. F. Sehnaz Bac, an artist, and seasoned archaeologist presents step-by-step instructions for fifty-two projects creating mandala designs on rocks. Her easy-to-follow rock painting guide will show you how to transform ordinary stones into inspirational works of art. Click to Order US, UK or Canada

Rock Art Handbook

Techniques and Projects for Painting, Coloring, and Transforming Stones from Fox Chapel Publishing. This book contains 30 Step-by-Step Tutorials using Paints, Chalk, Art Pens, Glitter Glue, bobbles & bits. Click to Order US, UK or Canada

Rock Painting for Kids

Kids learn step by step to make all sorts of creatures, and fun shapes out of rocks. Great gifts to drop off at the grandparents house too. Click to Order US, UK or Canada

Rock Painting Supplies

The best paint to use on rocks is one that will last with weather, you can also seal them if you already have lots of acrylic paint sitting around the house that you’d like to use up.

We love using paint pens best. You can get the most detail and more vibrant colors and of course lots of them have glitter so that’s always a plus. It looks so pretty when they shimmer in the sun in your yard.

Acrylic Paint Pens

POSCA PENS

My favorite acrylic paint pens for all art projects are Posca Pens. They are the sort with paint in the barrel and come in different sized nibs and they need to be primed but work brilliantly on rocks and other hard surfaces as well as paper, canvas and fabric. This is a great variety pack but Blick’s also sells them individually and with assorted nib sizes.

Sharpies

Sharpies are of course the least expensive markers around and everyone probably has several already floating around their house. The different sized nibs make detail work easy too.

Don’t have any nice smooth flat rocks at your house? No problem, you can even buy those.

Flat Rocks to Paint

Finally, you will need a sealer for your pretty painted rocks, this video shows a few techniques. You can choose matt or glossy finish, that part is up to you.

Sealers for Rock Painting

You have 3 options for sealers, Gloss, Matt or Satin. This is purely a matter of preference as they all work the same. Blick’s Michaels Amazon
