Kindness Rock painting for beginners | 15 simple design ideas to get you going

Kindness Rocks, Happy Stones, Gratitude Rocks - call them what you will. These small painted pebbles which you hide in plain sight to be discovered, are a way of brightening up someones day with a gentle message or a splash of colour. Groups exist all over the world to share a little such act of kindness. It's a craft open to all ages - great to do with children, older folk or with friends over a glass of wine. You do not need to be able to paint or draw to make beautiful pebbles. Join me as I share 15 simple designs which will get you going. I will show you how to prepare the rocks, put a base layer on, blend the background and then add details and finally varnish them. The designs are simple, fast but effective. Of course you can do a great work of art on a rock, but this concentrates on small and quick ideas to get you going. I'm in the middle of a project to paint 100 to give out at our village show, so speed is of the essence for me. I suggest using acrylic pens (paint pens), but of course you can use paint and a brush. If you want to get a set of pens, take a look at Ohuhu or Arrtx here (Amazon affiliate link):https://amzn.to/3JxjzyZ. If you are in the UK check out The Range for cheap supplies. I aim to share a tip or technique every week - usually on Sunday at 2pm. I might throw in a few bonus films or shorts, so it’s worth hitting the notification bell to be alerted to the next one. Every like and comment tells YouTube to show this to more people, so please jump in and share with your creative friends.
