Whew!  You made it through this gigantic list.  Let me know if your favorite word or phrase isn’t listed and what it is in the comments below.

Here are some ideas on how to get started on rock painting:

1) Rocks

You want smooth flat rocks to create your masterpiece unless an unusual rock acts as the body of your art piece. Keep your artwork ideas in mind when selecting the perfect stones.

Make sure you’re able to remove stones from where you find them. Removing stones from National and state parks isn’t okay. Taking rocks from waterways can also be against the rules. It’s also illegal to take rocks from railroad tracks.

If you live in an area that it’s hard to find rocks, head over to your nearest home improvement center, landscape supply store and garden centers to purchase some.

2) Wash

Paint won’t stick to dirty rocks.  A smooth surface is what we’re aiming for, so washing your rocks in warm water and soap will ensure that.  You might want scrub it with an old toothbrush to make sure all debris is removed.  Allow rocks to dry before painting.

3) Sand

If there is any light bumps or grit on your rock, you can sand using 150 grit sandpaper.  

4) Primer

For best results, you’ll want to prime your rocks especially if the rock is pitted.  This gesso primer is perfect for smooth results.  You can find out more here.  

5) Paint

Use acrylic patio paint for best results if you will be hiding your rocks outside. Adding a white layer before painting the color you want makes it pop.  Let each layer of paint dry before applying the next layer.  You can find acrylic patio paints here.

Shift paint is paint that shifts color as you look at what you painted.  Shift paint can be found here.  

6) Paint Brushes

A selection of various sized paint brushes will help you create the perfect look you are going for.  This set has an amazing variety of sizes.  They say watercolor paint brushes, but work wonderfully with acrylic paint.  You can find them here.

7) Markers

Adding text with markers is easier than painting words.  Through trial and error, I have found that Posca Markers work best for rock painting.  Make sure you look at the tip size before purchasing to make sure you have the right size.  I use the Ultra thin tip for outlining and writing words.  You can find them here.  

You could also buy this amazing set on Amazon.  It’s the BUNDLE SET.

8) Fineline Applicator

This Fineline Applicator lets you control your artwork. You can find a set here.  

These Fineline Applicator tops easily screw on to your paint. You can find them here.

9) Dots 

Dotting tools make perfectly round dots.  You can find a set on Amazon for an AMAZING price.  

Here’s an inexpensive set of dotting tools and paint brushes combined.  You can find them here.  

10) Seal

This is one of the most important steps to rock painting.   All that hard work that you put into your stone would be wasted with any type of moisture.   You want a seal that won’t curdle if the stones are subject to the outdoor weather.  Krylon Colormaster Spray is what I use.  Two thin coats works best.

You could also use Krylon Low Odor Clear Finish.  You can find it here.

For a non-toxic sealer, you can use DecoArt Varnish.  You can find it here.  

11) Brush Cleaner

How many have us have been guilty of not cleaning our brushes right away and throwing out a rarely used brush because of it?  Soak your paint brushes in this and you’ll never have to do that again.

12) Brush Stand 

It’s important to stay organized while you’re painting rocks.  This wonderful paint brush stand will have your brushes ready when you want to paint.  You can find it here.  

13) Display Stand

If you have a special rock that you want to display, you’ll need a display stand.  You can find the three prong tulip display stand here.  (The price is for 6 stands.)

14) Techniques 

Here are my favorite books on rock painting.  You can’t beat the price and you learn so many different styles.  The Art of Stone Painting is a treasure chest full of amazing art that teaches you to create them too.  You can find it here.

Mandala Stones will teach you how to master your dotting. You can find it here.
