TOOLS & MATERIALS

Before you begin painting your stones, you need to have the correct materials and tools. Most of these items can be found at your local art and craft store. In time, as you paint more stones, you can decide which materials work best for you.

Pencils & Erasers

First you need hard lead pencils (at least 2H) to sketch your designs onto the stones. To correct any errors on your sketch, use soft art erasers. You can use a compass for basic circles in mandala designs.

Paintbrushes & Sponges

You will need synthetic round brushes with different sizes to begin. Use tiny ones (sizes 0, 00, 000) for details, and sizes 14, 16 for larger areas. Always wash your brushes with soapy water after use. Use sponges to create bright backgrounds and special effects.

Paints

Acrylic paints are the best choice for stone painting. They are easy to apply, have brilliant colors, and cover the surface easily. You can find them in tubes, jars, or plastic containers. These paints dry very quickly, so keep their containers closed when they arent in use. Alternatively, you can use water-based craft colors.

Paint Pens, Markers & Fine-liner Pens

When you want to draw or paint more detailed designs, you can use water-based paint pens and markers. Fine-liner pens are useful when you want to detail designs on your stones or pebbles. They have archival indelible ink, and extra-thin sizes are useful to work with tiny details.

When you want to paint rocks as a hobby or for your craft projects, first you need to search for the right rocks. Along the shores of beaches, you can find stones of different sizes, shapes, and forms. Rivers, riverbeds, or lakes are also wonderful places to collect stones; but take care, it is often illegal to remove stones from public beaches, rivers, or lakes. Be sure to ask permission before removing any stones from their natural environment.

As an alternative, a variety of rocks can be purchased from rock suppliers. In these expansive yards, rocks are sorted according to size and type. You can also find flat flagstone in a variety of colors, thicknesses, and textures. Locate a rock supplier by searching your local area for Landscape Supplies.

Size & Shape

Smooth and flat stones are ideal for working with ink or markers. You can paint or draw directly onto their natural surfaces. Rough and textured stones also work well if they have the desired shape. Try choosing your stones by shape: oval stones for owl or fish designs, round for mandalas, irregular shapes for other bird or animal designs. Stones have different colors that can create special effects when you paint them. For example, naturally dark or black stones are great choices for monochrome designs using white, gold, or silver ink. White, smooth stones are ideal for painting bright colors. Even rough stones with a special shape can look great after applying a few layers of paint to them.

After collecting your stones, leave them in a bowl of water for a few hours to soak off any excess dirt or sand particles. Next clean them with a soft brush and mild soap. After rinsing with running tap water, leave the stones to dry for at least one day out in the sun or in a warm place inside.

Once completely dry, your stones are ready to paint! If your rocks are rough or porous, you can make them more smooth by adding a few coats of paint. Apply one or two coats of white acrylic paint, and once the paint dries, rub the surface with very fine sandpaper to help smooth the surface for your design.
