1. Select an appropriately sized rock for your painting. i.e. a tall rock flat rock is best for painting sunflowers, and a short wide based rock would be best for impatiens.
2. With a foam brush, paint the whole rock in a thin coat of acrylic black paint. Wait at least 45 minutes for this to dry thoroughly.
