International Drop A Rock Day

A Rock Day on July 3rd inspires creative inspiration. Paint designs on small rocks and then hide them for others to find. If you find them, your artwork will bring smiles of delight to whoever discovers them.

Every year, a new theme is chosen. Both the artist and the finder instills kindness, creativity, laughter, and joy in both the artist and the finder, regardless of the subject or our artistic abilities. The day brings a new sense of surprise to artwork by bright colors and endless patterns..

& Preparing Rocks is a new and Preparing process.

  • The best rocks to paint fit in the palm of your hand
  • The best surfaces for designs and photographs are smooth rocks with a flat surface
  • Before painting, the stones were washed and scrubbed dirt from the surface of the rocks
  • Acrylic paint is the best acrylic paint to use. Acrylic paint works best
  • Depending on the style of techniques you're looking for, you can try a variety of brushes
  • When you are finished seal the design when you are finished
  • Your finished rocks, Hide!

After you've established your style, try new colors, colors, and applications. Both artists and rocks should not be afraid to experiment with new themes or rocks. Try a makeup sponge or tissue if one type of brush doesn't do the trick. Paint markers are also available. After you've mastered a technique, share your mad skills with others.. To paint and celebrate the day, join a rock art club to learn even more ways to paint and celebrate the day.
