Today's 3 FREE lessons are courtesy of Patty Donathan.
All of Patty's free PDF rock painting tutorials include:
- A list of the supplies you'll need
- How to select the rocks
- Detailed illustrations and instructions for painting both simple and detailed bee, ladybug, and frog rocks
How to Paint a Bee
Every artist has their own style and you'll see a slight difference between my painted rock and those in Patty's lesson. I also added something extra to my painted rock bee - a toothpick painted gold became the bee's stinger.
How to Paint a Ladybug
This simple,
ladybug how-to guide is perfect for those round rocks in your yard and easy enough for children to do. At the time I painted the ladybug, I did not think to take a photograph of my finished product.
How to Paint a Tic Tac Toe Frog & Koi Pond Game
This
tic tac toe painted rock project is more involved, however, it's a very clever idea.
Instead of playing tic tac toe with X’s and O’s on paper, two sets of frogs are painted on rocks - one set of frogs with orange spots and the other set with yellow spots. Patty also includes instructions for painting the pond tic tac toe board. One day I hope to complete this tutorial for myself.
Thank you, Patty Donathan for generously sharing your free rock painting instructions and giving us rock painting ideas and inspiration.
The free projects mentioned in this post along with their links were
viewable on the date of this post. I cannot guarantee how long the
projects will remain free and available online.
