Hello)
Few people know about this direction of art as a "rock painting". Today, it is not much of this popular form of art will be discussed ...
My family is very creative. My mom teaches a master class of kiddies "painted on the rocks." This is a very different technique of printing on a different size and shape stones. This handmade technology and requires utmost care and accuracy when drawing. As a result, poluchaetsya good gift, souvenir, or just decoration for your home or yard. I am genuinely sorry that this area is underdeveloped in the world.
And now a bit of history.
The ancient art that originated thousands of years ago. Man has always wanted to share my experience and feelings through drawing, decorate your home or to protect against evil forces with the help of a magic stone totem.
We are talking about ordinary pebbles lying on the ground. Not every stone can be the basis for a picture. There are too porous rocks to climb on himself all the paint, there is a small break in the stones with sharp edges. Therefore, for creativity must be chosen smooth stones with a dense texture.
Tips for emerging artists:
As the material for literally lying under your feet, should be thoroughly clean and dry before starting the process selected stones.
creative field very tiny, so the paint on the palette should be poured quite a bit.
Acrylic paints dry very quickly, turning the brush in hard scraper, so while drawing brush must always return to a glass of water.
For the same reason, when changing the color brush should be thoroughly rinsed and dry napkins or paper towel.
Drawing on a rock - a process sufficiently specific.
To avoid unpleasant surprises related to the paint gets on clothing, painting the stones with his hands better to produce in an old T-shirt and jeans, or wear a large apron that covers them all. Even a small drop of ink dried on his trousers immediately spoil the thing. You can certainly try to scrub it in fresh form, armed with an old toothbrush, but it is better to exclude the very appearance.
The same applies to the entire workplace. Faithful Assistant to protect the table surface from the meetings with the paint and the water - it is an old newspaper.
But simply correct the error - the paint is easily erased from the surface of the stone, if necessary, or is painted in a different color after drying.
And now let's try to paint the stones ...
- Prepare the desired amount of rounded stones, quick-drying paint, flat brush and masking tape.
- Stick an adhesive tape across the workpiece and paint one side of the stone. This is done to ensure that the joint line of the two colors was perfectly flat.
- When the paint dries, stick adhesive tape on the opposite side and paint this piece of stone contrasting color, and then repeat it as many times as filling in all segments.
- Here's a simple geometric pattern decorate your stone.
Regarding the selection of paint ...
This may be a set of watercolor, gouache jars or tubes of acrylic paint.
Each artist works in the manner he likes, although the rocks painting for beginners gives you the opportunity to try their hand at all kinds. Skilled craftsmen prefer to deal with all the same colors of acrylic. The whole palette of bright colors perfectly falls even on unprimed surface. And if you use acrylic paint type "metallic", the image will get a nice soft glow.
More bright and shiny stones can become after painting paints intended for porcelain or ceramic. Fix them as possible, putting the stones painted in an ordinary oven for roasting. But even without this procedure, images acquire a beautiful view.
I suggest that after the completion of all stages of the stone cover with a thin layer of lacquer. This will give shine to your creation.
