Hi all!
Recently my grandchildren came over and they asked to craft with Nana. So, of course I can't say no. We decided to make some painted rocks for our newly freshened up flower bed. While we were painted I thought I would give some Perfect Paints a test drive on rocks! I promise you there is no base that these paints cannot be used on. I have literally tried everything!
Products used:
Smooth River Rocks
Perfect Paints White Stucco
Perfect Paints Polishing Plaster in Jack Frost
Perfect Paints Shimmering Matte Acrylic in Rain Slicker and Rainstorm
Misc Paint pens
To start off with I used a knife and my fingers to sculpt my flower onto the rock. At first it doesn't appear it will stick but trust the process
Once I have it layered like I want...then I just smooth up the edges a bit and let it sit to dry overnight. The wet look is normal and will dry.
The next day all I really needed to do was to paint the rock. I started by using various paint pens to add dots around the flower. Get creative with this...use different colors and sizes of dots.
Now to paint - I started by using the Polishing Plaster, with a paint brush, and just dab it on in between the petals. I am just going for a slight shimmery look. Then I used the Shimmering Matte Acrylic Rainstorm more towards the center for some shadows. And finished off with Rain Slicker for the center.
The possibilities are endless and the stucco adds a 3D effect to the rock. I sealed mine with Rustoleum Clear sealer so that they will last longer.
