Instructions

  1. Clean rocks with soap and water and let dry completely.
  2. Following basic instructions on FolkArt Coastal paint tub, basecoat two rocks with Sand Dollar. Let dry.
  3. Basecoat a third rock with Ocean and let dry.
  4. Apply second coat of Coastal paint to each rock: for the rocks basecoated with Sand Dollar, apply Poseidon on one and Ocean on the other. For the rock basecoated with Ocean, apply a coat of Sea Mist. Let dry completely.
  5. Sand down rocks to reveal both paint colors and create a weathered look.
  6. Using paper stencils, stencil Nautical Animals as shown using Multi-Surface Paint and stencil brush. Let dry.
