Good Morning! Today my tutorial is all about that annoying wee green tree frog that lives on my back deck .
It pops inside our drainpipe and croaks…. and croaks…. and croaks. How lovely that the drainpipe acts as an amplifier and that sound is LOUD !
SO I figured instead of being annoyed at him or letting it get to me I would just dedicate a rock to him . If I look at the problem, I can understand that if the frog is awake and croaking it means we have rain … and we need rain ! We live on tank water – no town water… so guess my wee green frog is just singing and celebrating.
And now he has a rock !

Use a black colour Acrylic Paint pen and outline  the image, I use Posca,  Tooli-Art or Artistro brands in 0.7m pens.

And if you want to add a touch of highlight –  pop on a few dots and dashes of white paint .

Colour on your rock – I have just painted a nice even layer. You do not want to paint it to thick. The more layers on the rock the more chance it has of peeling off later as the water in the base evaporates. Click on the image below to find out how best to paint on rocks!

Shading makes all the difference to the end result. Adds depth to the Image.
I use clean water and a size 2 or 4 filbert taklon paintbrush click on the below image to learn the technique – or head to YouTube to watch how I do the shading.
