What Art Supplies Do You Need Besides Rocks for Painting?
Regarding low cost of finance to purchase the necessary materials is one of the key advantages of rock
painting. To create your own stone artwork, you will need the following materials:
- suitable rocks
- brushes
- paints
- markers
- primer
- fixative
- pencil
- stencil drawing
If you are an experienced artist, you can create a drawing right away, without using a stencil or pencil sketch. For painting stones, acrylic or gouache is best suited, but you are free to choose according to your taste. You can find, make yourself, or buy rocks to paint on. Primer and fixative are optional materials and will come in handy if you decide to prime an uneven stone or fix a design later. You can consult with an art supply store seller or browse our catalog to find the right brushes and paints for your artwork. Please note that our markers are also acrylic based, in which case you will not need a brush to create your painting. Even a child can paint stones with a marker. Sea pebbles are the best option for beginners in drawing and for creating ensembles of rock designs, since they do not require a primer.
