EASY ROCK PAINTING TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS - Hearts (Part 1)

Easy Rock Painting Tutorial for Beginners - Hearts (Part 1) This is a step-by-step easy rock painting tutorial for beginners. I began the painting using this background    • EASY ROCK PAINTING TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS ...  . I chose to paint hearts because they represent youthfulness, our hopes, wishes, and dreams of a better life/reality.

This is Part 1. Part 2 is an easy to follow, step-by-step tutorial on how you might like to enhance your own rock painting using Posca and Micron pens.

I used craft paint. I like craft paint because they're self-leveling (which means they dry flat).
-- CeaftSmart (Michael's brand) Teal Sea
-- CeaftSmart Lime Green
-- CeaftSmart Bright Gold

I also used Liquitex Titanium White, Primary Red, and Burnt Umber.

I used a white Posca Pen to write out "Love Grows".

Once you've completed your painted rock, allow the acrylic paint to completely dry before going onto the steps outlined Part 2.

Once you're completely finished, allow everything to completely cure (one to two weeks) before you varnish. I like to apply 2-3 coats. Make sure you use a UV protected varnish to resist fading from the sun. If you're going to have your stone outside, bring indoors in bad weather (rain, snow, freezing or hot/humid temps). Varnish makes your painted rock water resistant not waterproof.

If you do the painting, tag me at my Instagram account. I'd love to see it and give you a shout out. I'll post your pic using your first name in a future video.
