Painting with Nature: Why Painting on Rock Develops Your Art Style

Updated: Jan 23

Have you ever seen beautifully painted rocks and wondered how they were created?

Are you looking for a new and creative way to express yourself artistically?

Have you ever wanted to explore a unique art form that combines nature and creativity?

If yes, then my new art class 'Rock Painting: Turn Stones into Garden Art' is a good stepping stone to develop your art style. Read on to find out all about how rock painting could benefit you and about my new class that will go live very soon. You will gain a link to a special offer very soon: stay tuned!






Learning to paint on rocks with acrylics can provide several benefits for artists. Here are five significant reasons why:

  1. Exploration of new medium: Acrylic paint offers a versatile medium for artists to explore. By learning to paint on rocks with acrylics, artists can experiment with a unique canvas and expand their artistic repertoire. Rocks provide a different texture and surface compared to traditional canvases, allowing artists to explore new techniques and challenges.

  2. Enhanced creativity and problem-solving skills: Painting on rocks requires artists to think creatively and adapt their painting techniques to the irregular shape and surface of the rock. This process can enhance problem-solving skills as artists find ways to accommodate the natural form of the rock into their artwork. It challenges artists to think outside the box and find creative solutions to create a visually appealing design.

  3. Natural beauty and durability of the artwork: Rock paintings created with acrylics can withstand various weather conditions and maintain their beauty over time. Artists can create durable and long-lasting artwork that can be displayed both indoors and outdoors. This durability allows artists to share their creations with a broader audience and extend the lifespan of their artwork.

  4. You can have a change and paint on a non-traditional canvas: Fancy a change from painting on canvas or paper? Stone offers a lovely and strong surface to paint on and comes in a whole variety of natural colours and textures.

  5. You will explore a unique art form that combines nature and creativity: Find yourself connected with nature even more by painting your artwork on to stone. The variety is endless due the different shapes, colours and textures.


By learning to paint on rocks with acrylics, artists can not only explore a unique medium but also foster their creativity, problem-solving skills, and create lasting artwork.


A note: always make sure you choose stones responsibly: different countries have rules about where you are allowed to take stones from!


More information about my new class will be available very soon. I can't wait to share all the details and link to my Skillshare class. I have been working hard to create my second online class but am loving every moment of the process.
