Your garden rocks might be transformed into turtles if you have the imagination. If not, this might be a good time to give it a shot. An instructional video from the Woodcock Nature Center in North Carolina may be found on YouTube. Several stone turtles may be made from a few simple components. Imagine a dozen of these in your yard as a centerpiece. You’re going to have a very unique living place. In addition, this rock-painting pastime will allow you to relax and unwind in your spare time.
Materials:
- rock
- Acrylic paint
- Brushes
Directions:
After painting the rock-solid black, go to the next step. Completely encircle. Make a face for the turtle in the rock when it has dried. In a lighter shade of green, draw a circle on the turtle’s face. Using the same color paint, paint the rock’s edges to resemble the shell’s contours. Then, using the same pale green paint, cover the whole shell. The light green should be used to cover the whole shell. Allow to air-dry.
White paint and a finer brush are needed for the final step, which is to paint the shell’s outside lines white all the way around. Start painting another outside line on the shell once you’ve painted all the way around. Dot the shell with little dashes of paint after you’re finished. It’s possible to construct your own shell. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Simply have a look at several designs.
After that, using white paint, draw the eye circles on the skull. Draw a mouth and a nose on the face. This is an opportunity to be inventive. It’s entirely up to you how the turtle’s face should look like. You’ve got a turtle now. After the first turtle dries up, you may start a new one.
