The final painting will appear a lot nicer if you have a rock with a smooth surface. Rough-surfaced rocks will frequently cause your design to split up, yet this isn’t entirely worthless.
In fact, rocks with rough edges work well for acrylic pouring techniques where you can either plunge the rocks in acrylic for a solid colour or spray them with metallic paint for a stunning finish.
Before starting any rock painting, give your rock a quick rinse under the faucet to remove any grime.
You’ll see that rocks collected outside are typically fairly dusty and disorganised, so using soap to remove the dirt may be necessary.
When the rock is prepared, you might want to apply a thin layer of sealant to the rock. Using a couple coatings of mod podge can significantly improve the way your painted rocks are preserved when it comes to sealing painted rocks.
In order to ensure that your rocks can resist the elements and general wear and tear, sealing them is essential. When treated with a suitable sealer, they also keep their colour and lustre.
