DIY Rock Painting Kit - Learn How to Paint Beautiful Flowers on Stones for Home Decor & Garden Art | Perfect for Beginners, Kids Crafts & Outdoor Decorations

I'm so glad I found this book on Amazon. I purchased it for more than painting rocks: I have followed the instructions for painting blossoms, though not on rocks but on heretofore unpainted, wooden, kitchen cabinet knobs. The woodwork in my new kitchen and all through my house is an off-white, and I decided to paint the cabinet knobs in a variety of bright colors and then painted a single blossom on each knob. For this project I used acrylics that can be found in any crafts store.For painting on rocks, which is my next project, I purchased the recommended DecoArt Patio paints. They are the paints used by the author of this book. I found a few of the small containers of this paint on Amazon.com and a huge variety of colors of the paints on an online Web site that I Googled to find and which begins with an H.I shall also paint tall flowers, such as tulips and daffodils, on large, broken pieces of my old clay pots. After painting them, I shall stick the bottoms securely into the soil in my garden and let the flowers "stand tall." Thanks to this great book, I am looking forward to a painterly summer and perhaps making some rocky Christmas gifts for family and friends.P.S. Added on July 11, 2012: I am using the white charcoal pencils for sketching out the blossoms and leaves. Because the rocks and stones scrape off so much of the charcoal from the pencils, I have ordered a dozen of the white, and they ARE much cheaper by the DOZEN from my art supplier online. The packaging for the white charcoal pencils advised that their white marks can be erased with white vinyl erasers. At my nearest "big-box" store I found white vinyl erasers in packages of ten white vinyl eraser caps for the eraser end of the white pencils. They work beautifully, because the charcoal pencils do not have erasers caps on them normally.
