This is for the people who love painting rocks, you can post pics of your rocks, tell others designs you have thought of etc.You can see some of mine in my signature.

I started rock painting a a year or so ago and loved it! I do mostly animals, but occasionally flowers from time to time.


It took me a long time to get this turtle right!





These are just a few of the many I've painted.

I certainly didn't start out that good though!

Reading an animal rock painting book was how I first got inspired to paint rocks. I had painted on rocks before, but never thought of painting animals on them. It is a very satisfying medium to work with, as I have found out over time. For some reason, I paint well with acrylics on rocks, but I fail badly when it comes to painting on canvas.

What are some of your tricks for detail? I use a toothpick sometimes.

A thin linear brush or detail brush that can be found at craft stores. Long, sweeping strokes with a linear brush create crisp lines; a detail brush helps with tiny fur strokes or a spark of white in the eye.
