Rock Painting Ideas 1.0

Whether you’re hoping to create some simple, cost effective decor for your home or just hoping for fun crafts to do with your kids, rock painting is an awesome option. It’s also easy to do! As long as you can access to good all-surface paints, some paint brushes, and a rock that you like the look of, you’re pretty much set! The only thing left to get is a little inspiration.

We love the rock painting of giving friends and loved ones handmade artwork for Valentine’s Day! Why not paint them a brightly colored heart that they can set next to their alarm clock as a reminder of how much you care about them? Seal the paint with Mod Podgy like Blooming on Bainbridge did to give the rock a glossy finish and stop it from chipping.

If you’re looking for something heart-themed that still catches the eye but in a classier or more muted way, these painting ideas detailed little heart designs from Inspire Bohemian are the way to go. We love how the turquoise (or whatever color you choose) contrasts with the stark black fine details.

Simple is sometimes best! A little, solidly painted rocks colored heart on a nicely marbled rock is an easy way to add some flair to a decorative piece. If you can’t find a rock with a base color you like, pick a solid background color that complements or contrasts nicely with your heart! These ones are an easy idea for kids.

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical of painting rocks as a craft and decorative rocks but Pickle really enjoyed it and actually so did I (it’s very calming)! I tried to get Chops involved too, but he was far more keep on sucking paint off the brush than using it to paint with interior paint ideas.

As an art activity on its own, rock painting is an inspiring and creative thing to do. You need to start by choosing your rock or pebble. Smooth rocks are easier to paint with a design. Or be creative and choose an unusual shape to turn into something else, like stone painting ideas

Poster paints work fine for younger kids - or use acrylic paints for better results. A good way to start is to paint a base layer in a light color over your stone, then rock crafts for kids will help your painting to show better against the lighter background.
If you are not very good at painting then check out some drawing tutorials before you start. Stencils help to get a bold shape onto your pebble. Even simple stripes or polka dot designs can look beautiful.
