Rock painting. This has become a popular activity, and I am intrigued with all the different designs being painted so I thought I would check this book out. I was hoping to see some unique and fun ideas inside the book vs. what I am finding online.
The book begins by talking about getting rocks, maybe even making your own rocks, preparing your rocks for painting, and then finishing the rocks up after you have painted them. Next, there are about 20 different designs explained with step-by-step directions, plans, ideas, and variations. Each of these designs is spread out on 2 pages and they even give you a detailed item list for each design. I did like the following the step-by-step directions complete with photos and word directions as it helped to get layering and the details just right on each rock. I think for the beginner rock painter, this book is perfect as it is simple and thorough. It gives a lot of details, and the colorful illustrations are a great help. I think the designs were simple and not too difficult to follow also. If you need a beginning rock painting book, this would be a great one to use. 4 stars
