When we moved into our house 2 years ago we found this large rock near the garage. But I did not just see a rock, I saw an art project! There was one side that was pretty flat so I thought it would be perfect to paint our house numbers on. Now that we are having some sunny days I thought it would be a good idea to get started on my project. The first thing I did was to wash the rock with dish soap and water and then let the sun dry it.
After it was completely dry I painted a base coat of white. Then I sat down to sketch out my ideas.
I decided on painting our three chickens: Oreo, Lily and Buttercup around the house number. To add a bit more detail I added hearts and little chicken foot prints. Then I started the painting. I did a few coats on everything to make it dark and make it stand out. I used acrylic paints.
How do you think it tuned out?
