If you think you can't paint flowers onto a rock, think again!
With the flower stencils that are available today, anyone can paint realistic looking flowers onto a rock and make gorgeous rock paintings.
One of the methods I use to get a base flower image onto my flower rocks is what I like to call my "black background method".
your black background using the method outlined below. |
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 smaller flowers such as pansies.
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.
3. To stencil the flowers you will first need to have a stencil on hand. You can purchase many flower stencils through Amazon, they have a great selection.
You can also purchase many different stencils through The Stencil Smith where you might have more even more of a variety to choose from.
