How to make rock art
Habitat bright ideas with Fleur Thorpe – DIY projects
Create your own rock party with a collection of foraged rocks.
You will need
- Stones – one big stone and a handful of little stones
- Paint brush
- Resene testpot paints in your choice of colour, Fleur used: Resene Kingfisher Daisy, Resene Jurassic, Resene Paddock, Resene Frontier, Resene Black and Resene White
- Water resistant silicone sealant
Instructions
Top tip: Paint the rocks in different rainbow colours using Resene testpots to add extra colour to your rock party.
Step 1
For this project you will need a big flat stone. If you can’t find a stone, a brick or a broken concrete paver or block would work just as well.
Step 2
Start by painting the big stone in Resene Kingfisher Daisy. Split the little stones into three equal groups and paint one group in Resene Jurassic, another group in Resene Paddock and the final group in Resene Frontier.
Step 3
Once the paint has dried, glue the little stones on top of the big stone with some water resistant silicone sealer or industrial strength adhesive.
Step 4
Finish by painting on some eyes with Resene White and Resene Black.
