If you’re looking for an easy craft to do on the weekend, I suggest you try rock painting. Or if you plan to go to the beach, lake or river and want to make art with your family or friends, this is a great way to bond and do something creative. Painting on the beach with the beach in the background sounds like a good idea. Just remember to bring your own rocks as it is illegal to take them from the beach in most places. Also, be sure to check the weather before you paint outside, as this can affect drying time. You certainly don’t want to paint outside if it’s snowing, raining, or windy. If you are not sure about the weather, it is better to paint indoors.


Painting is absolutely fun and relaxing. If you have no drawing experience, don’t worry. The steps are very easy to follow. Continue reading for instructions or watch the video below. Happy painting!
Tips for painting stone

- Allow each layer to dry completely. To speed up drying time, use a hair dryer.
