Rock Art Supplies and Tips
Supplies include but are not limited to:
Rocks!
Pencil with eraser
Pens
Paint
Paint brushes
Sealant
Glue
Any fun decor that you’re gluing
Tips:
- Rocks can be found outside but should not be taken from protected natural areas.
- If you are having trouble finding rocks, you can always purchase them on amazon, a local garden center, or at a local landscaping company. They will usually sell them by the bucket-full.
- We do not recommend purchasing the smooth stones/river rocks from craft stores. They come with a coating on them and your paint/pen will not stick very well.
- Make sure your rocks are clean and free of debris before starting your art.
- If you need, you can lightly trace your design with a pencil first.
- If you plan on painting, acrylic paint works best.
- If you plan on using pen for your art, you can use paint markers, artist pens, gelly roll pens, markers, highlighters, etc.
- If you’d like to glue anything to your rocks, we recommend the E6000 brand. Note: it is important to seal your rock with sealant prior to gluing items!
- We also recommend sealing your rocks after you’ve finished decorating them. You can use whatever finish you’d like (glossy, matte, etc). These can be found online or in your local craft stores. Our suggestions: Rust-oleum and Krylon brands.
- Rock art is relaxing and fun. Let your imagination run wild!
