Bichon Dog Rock Stone Painting
Over the past few months I have been extreemely unwell. I am not sure what the cause of this is. I have a number of health conditions including Adrenal Insufficiency and serious deficiencies of vital minerals and vitamins and as a result I have had no energy and have been feeling pretty down in the dumps. It’s true, being unwell can cause you to feel quite rubbish at times.
A friend suggested I take up rock stone painting. It’s something I tried about a year ago and it did not work. So I decided to try it again. This time I made sure I researched the best paints and tools to use and it has helped me to slowly improve my rock painting skills. Today I am sharing my recent painting of a Bichon Dog.

So the things you need for painting a rock are simple. A rock, posca paints and a pencil.
I bought a bag of rocks from a local Garden Centre and got some lovely Posca Paint Pens for my birthday.
You can use a number of different painting options but I liked the pens.
Uni-posca Paint Marker Pen – Medium Point – Set of 15 (PC-5M15C)
Margo 30lb. Decorative Pebbles River Rocks Colored Stones Medium Snow White Pebbles 1 in. to 2 in.BIC Pencil Xtra Sparkle Mechanical Pencil, Colorful Barrel, Medium Point (0.7 mm), 48-Count
The first thing I did was to draw the outline of a dog on the stone.
Once this was done I was ready to paint.
I painted the dog white and then added some red for the tongue.
I painted the mouth black however I did not like the look so I painted over this when it was dry with white.
I then used a thin black pen to draw the outline of my Bichon Dog.
Finally I added a dog bone to add a little personality to the stone. Do you like it? I sure do!
I am really looking forward to making more rock art and sharing it here on the blog.

In our town we have rocks hidden all over. My daughter finds them everywhere and then rehides them for someone else. She wants to do some to hide too.
I haven’t tried rock painting yet, but it looks like fun. I have tons of paint pens and paint, so this should be an easy project.
I love pet rocks! And this is really a cute touch to it. Reminds me of the Native Tribes!

The little doggies is cute. We like to rock paint here. THe kids in the neighborhood hide them and when we find one we replace it with one of ours. It’s fun for them and a good way to get them outside too.
You did a fine job. I always find crafts therapeutic. I prefer crochet though.

That dog looks adorable, I sure do like it. Rock stone painting would be a great idea to do with the kids, I’m sure they’d like it too.
This is such a cool project. I know my daughter was doing some rock art very recently. And I would love to find some great paints to do some more. Thanks for the good info here. And your painting is adorable.
Such a cute idea, love the idea of painting on rocks. Would make a nice hobby or even a nice idea for a professional artist.
Yes I agree. It is a great idea for adults and kids.
Cute drawing. My kid loved to draw animals and she has done painting it in the rocks. I kept it so that she’ll be reminded of it when she grows up.
This is super creative. I love it and this is a fun activity for kids.
Thanks Kiwi. It was very fun to paint.
