Jane & Sonja
Learn how to paint an adorable owl, fox, and bear on rocks! This easy woodland animal rock painting tutorial breaks down each cute design into just 3 simple steps.
Be sure the paint dries fully between each step of the painting process. Use either a blow dryer to speed up the process or let the paint air-dry.
How to Paint the Fox Rock
Paint a triangular shape for the fox face in the middle of the smooth surface of your rock using orange paint.
Using a fine tip brush, paint the sides of the fox face starting part way from the top to the bottom tip of the orange using the white paint.
With a fine tip brush, paint the ears, eyes and nose using the black paint. Add one small white dot to each eye for a highlight (this step not shown here).
How to Paint Owl Rocks
Paint the face shape in the middle of the rock using the gray paint. Start with two circles side-by-side and then add little ears to the top.
Paint two larger sized circles as shown for the owl’s eyes using white paint then add a little diamond shape underneath with orange paint for the beak.
Finally, paint the small circle shaped pupils using black paint. Add white dots for accents.
How to Paint the Bear Rock
Using brown paint create the bear’s face in the middle of the rock by first painting a large circle and then two small circles at the top for ears. Extend the large circle to form the top of the head.
Mix a bit of the brown and white paints together to create a light brown and use that to paint on a snout and inner ears with simple circle shapes.
To finish, paint the eyes and nose using black paint with a fine tip paint brush (or a paint pen). Add a small dot in the centre of each eye with white paint for a highlight.
