Best supplies for rock painting

After six years of Word Rocks Project, I always get emails asking: How do I get started painting rocks? Or What are the best supplies?
Here is another guide of some good supplies!
Markers and pens
I always struggle to write words with paint so markers became my best friends when painting rocks. I've tried a lot of them and these are some of my favorite.
Poscas Pens are so far my favorite. Paint comes out easily, tips are resistant and perfect for details. They are a good option for a smooth, paint-like effect. Depending on your style you can choose fine or extra-fine point.

For creating a black outline around finished designs, I use Micron Pens or Tombow Mono Twin. Micron offers a variety of sizes for different thicknesses (also, different colors). Tombow comes with two different size tips on the same pen (0,4 mm and 0.8 mm) and is very practical. It has a long lasting permanent ink. You can draw over ink with other markers instantly while Micro paint needs completely dry before usin…

Spray and stencil for rocks

Since the first time that I laid my eyes on the tiny Testors Craft spray cans at Target, I was anxious to try it.

I used them with a stencil and it was so easy and fast to create a couple of rocks. Then I added a few details with gelly roll pen and ta-da! Cute #wordrocks to spread around.

I made my stencils with Silhouette but you can buy very cute ones at Amazon.

I suggest using flat rocks as it's easy to fix the stencil on it.
