F. Sehnaz BacThe Art of Stone Painting: 30 Designs to Spark Your Creativity (Dover Crafts: Painting)

Just love this book. I am pretty creative but this book really gives you step by step visual photos and instructions. I made the cactus rocks and I think they look great. Perfect book for a beginner or someone who likes to see vibrant results.

The pictures are beautiful, the quality of the book is very good. It has step by step directions on how to do the paintings. I had never painted rocks before purchasing this book, and now I have a whole rock garden. I recommend it!

Book was shipped fast. I'm going to enjoy learning this.

I highly suggest getting acrylic paint pens in fine tip to do the artwork details. It’s a bit harder then it actually looks. This author was / is talented. I thought it be a fun snd EASY HOBBY as I’m stuck hone 24:7 almost every day unless Drs fir last 3 years plus. At ghis point it’s been so long ifk exactly anx ive binge watched everythibg. I miss excessive so much but it’s not an option. Either way if you have steady hands and patience it’s fun. But I don’t. So noe I bought crochet kit for idiots. But I csnt even figure out how to start it. Being stuck hime insude for years at 49 w a very RARE outing (1-2x a month for Drs exceot during sons graduation I did my best to get courage to face society since my illness has changed my appearance more then I care to accept or be seen. I did it for my son). But finding a hobby to keep me busy Thst I can physically do has been a bug struggle. I just got crochet in w books but I think I may need to watch a you tube tutorial. Comprehensive skills are not what they were. I’ll try anything but can onky afford these attempts so much. Quarantine on & off for past several years has truly been a testament to the ability of being alone a lot. I’m about ready to get a Spaulding volleyball and mend it Wilson like Tom hanks. Lol. I have to laugh and just keep trying to find my niche Thst I can afford and actually do. I’m really not good at anything but maybe someday I’ll find my niche since traveling & being a mom was my biggest passion in adult life and kids are adults now anx travek is not an option right now. So I’ll keep trying. But if you have a steady hand or are liking fit an art activity for a party I would suggest this but maybe larger rocks.

I know Sehnaz Bac from her Facebook page “I Sassi dell’Adriatico” and I’m a devoted fan of her colorful and uplifting creations. I’m also an artist and I like to collect books from fellow artists I admire. I love her three color-by-number books and I was thrilled to find out that she published another book on the art of stone painting.This is my absolutely favorite book on the subject which I’ve been fascinated with since childhood. It offers a selection of 30 different designs that are very engaging and quickly ignite your creativity. The subjects range from trees and flowers, butterflies and birds, sea creatures and animals, to whimsical hearts, abstract motifs, and amazing mandalas. There’s something for everybody and every taste.The book begins with an introduction to rock painting and detailed information on how to find the right stones and how to prepare them. Sehnaz explains which tools and materials are needed and gives an overview of her techniques. The step-by-steps that follow are beautifully photographed and her process is clearly illustrated with easy tips and instructions.I can’t imagine anyone opening this book and not wanting to try some of the projects that are included. It’s perfect for the beginner and the advanced stone painter. From simple projects to sophisticated designs, this book offers challenges appropriate to everyone’s skills. I highly recommend it.

Really has helped me with my rock painting and everyone gets ideas, my new obsession

Once I got the book my confidence level increased. Good instructions and easy process for a beginner rock project. My friends have purchased the book also after seeing my projects.
