Painting on Rocks!
I am starting a New Hobby: Painting on Rocks!
I have recently discovered the enjoyable craft of decorating stones. I will just purchase a bag of stones from Michael’s Crafts and simply start.
What can you do with your finished, painted stones? Lots of things!
- Wall decorations
- Fridge magnets
- Yard decoration
- Paperweights
- Gifts
- Inspirational messages
- I will wash and dry the stones. Depending on the shape of it I will pick a picture and first draw it on the stone with a pencil.
- I prefer oil painting or acrylic paints since I have some experience on how to use those. I guess the trick is to be patient and wait for each layer to dry before starting to paint the next layer.
- Once I’ve finished painting my design, it’s time to seal it! I will use a sealer (acrylic spray for indoor decorations, spar urethane sealer for outdoor decorations) to make sure my art lasts for a long time.
I will share the results in the coming days.
