  1. Basecoat the Rocks:
  • Use a medium brush from the FolkArt Paintbrush Set to apply a basecoat of Lipstick Red on each rock.
  • Let them dry completely before moving on to the next step.
  • Paint the Ladybug Details:
    • Use Licorice to paint one end of the rock for the ladybug's head.
    • Add a line down the center of the rock to divide the wings.
    • Dot black spots on each side of the wings for that classic ladybug look.
    • Use Wicker White to add tiny dots on the head for eyes. Add smaller dots of Licorice in the center of the Wicker White.
  • Finishing Touches:
    • Allow the paint to dry thoroughly.
