I purchased this book, as an artist, to encourage and inspire my grandchildren in rock painting. I am so impressed with it ,I may purchase another copy for them to use when visiting, considering I live near the mountains and rocks are plentiful.I'm verified satisfied with this purchase.
I purchased this book as a jumping off point to paint rocks with my kids. It's a wonderful book. The author goes over types of rock, tools needed, making "rocks" out of polymer clay and using wood filler to customize your rock as needed. Just a lot of great tips to help make your projects turn out for the best. Not all of the photos of painted rocks are broken down into steps, but I don't feel that is necessary. I appreciate more how many ideas for pretty painted rocks that have been included. Plus the photography can't be beat. It's just a really nicely done book.
This is a really neat little book that I will share with my granddaughters but there are some lovely ideas for adults as well.
Nice pictures and easy instructions. The paintings are simple but great for someone like me that's just starting out.
Excellent product, great seller! This book is full of fun rock painting and lots of tips!
Was a Christmas gift for my 5 yr. old great nephew. Be aware that this is the book only, but the paints, pallet brushes and rocks are very inexpensive at a craft store.
Bought this as a gift for my mom, she LOVED it. Good photography, good design ideas and I like the layout of the book. I'm borrowing it when she's done!
Lots of cute projects here. Plenty of ideas for adults and children alike. I bought this book as a guide for painting rocks to dress up my garden without spending a lot of money.
