HOW TO PAINT ROCKS , A SIMPLE GUIDE FOR PAINTING LANDSCAPE OR OTHER ROCKS FOR DISPLAY OR USE. MOST AGES OR WITH ASSISTANCE.
Materials
- River Rocks
- red, black, and white craft paint
- 1” foam, ¼” flat angled artist brush, and foam dabber.
- Krylon Clear Glaze .
Instructions
- Clean and dry the rocks.
- Paint the entire rock red, using the one inch foam brush. Then allow the rock to fully dry before applying a second coat.
- For the head of the lady bug, use the ¼” flat angled artist brush to paint it black. Also, use the brush to paint the line down the center of the lady bug to give the appearance of wings.
- Next, use the foam dabber and black paint to paint the spots on to the body of the lady bug. Carefully clean and dry the dabber. Now, use the foam dabber with white paint to make the outside of the eyes and allow the white paint to dry.
- For the inside of the eyes, use the foam dabber. Make a tiny dot of black paint in the middle of the white to finish the eyes. Alternatively, you can use a black marker to do this.
- Once the rock is completely dry, spray with Krylon Clear Glaze to seal the paint, and protect it from the outdoor elements.
