Rock Painting FAQs
Why Painted Rocks?
I’ve always loved to make things out of natural objects that I have found or collected. I particularly enjoy painting on stones because each is like a little blank canvas just waiting to be picked up and transformed into a cute animal ready to bring happiness to someone! It's also an interesting challenge to work with a 3d surface rather than a flat piece of paper or canvas.
How do you select the stones you paint on?
This is always inspired by the stone's shape, and what animal it brings to my mind when I see it. I put a lot of time and thought into this selection process as I like the animals and birds I paint to look as realistic as possible from all angles, as they would be in real life.
What is your painting process?
I don’t begin the actual painting process until I have the animal’s posture, colouring and expression clearly visualized in my mind. The next step is to gradually build up many layers of paint, using very tiny brushes to acheive the finest details such as fur and whiskers, and finishing the eyes at the very end. As I paint, any irregularities or fissures in the stone are carefully included to merge with the natural shape or texture of the animal.
For examples of past work, see the Gallery of Painted Stones
How do I care for my rock pet?
Each animal stone is painted with professional artist’s acrylic and coated with uv protective varnish. However, it's not recommended to keep them outdoors (unless under a covered area such as a porch) as long-term exposure to sun and rain may eventually fade or damage the surface. Keep indoors and preferably out of constant direct sunlight. If needed, the stone can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth.
Give your animal rock a nice place to sit, and maybe even a companion or two, and it will reward you by being the easiest pet to care for, ever!!
How will it be packaged and shipped?
Your rock pet will travel comfortably in its own little box with plenty of bedding, and will be securely packaged for shipping.
If it is to be a gift, I can include your own message to the recipient, printed attractively on note card and attached to the box – let me know in the order notes at checkout.
