How to Make Owl Painted Rocks
I shared the tutorial for these owl painted rocks on a Facebook Live which you can catch here. Or if you prefer the photo tutorial, continue reading below.
Mix a bit of black paint into some white to create a light grey. Paint the rocks with the light grey and let dry.
Create a darker shade of grey and paint wings on the sides of the stones. Let dry.
Paint two large white circles for eyes. Let dry.
Add two black dots in the eyes (a bit towards the center). With the back of the brush add a couple of white spots to the top right of each eye.
Add a little diamonds shaped orange beak and small orange ovals for feet.
And just like that, in a few simple steps, the painted owl rocks are complete! Aren’t they adorable?
