In order to paint stones, prepare your workplace. Place an old newspaper on the table, wear old clothes or an apron. Prepare wet wipes.
Cover the stones to be painted with a layer of white acrylic primer. Let it dry.
Step 2
You can paint the stones with any paints: watercolors, gouache or acrylics. But it is better to prefer acrylic. They are denser and more resistant. Apply the background of the picture if necessary. Sketch it out on paper. And then, using a soft pencil, transfer it to the stone. Apply acrylics in layers, letting each layer dry.
After you have colored the drawing, you can add decorativeness to it. Select individual details with a contour, glue various decorative elements.

Apply several coats of acrylic varnish so that the painted stones retain their decorative effect longer. After the varnish has dried, the stones can be used for their intended purpose.
