Here is a video that shows an easy scribbly way to create the waterwash look.
Everything will be Okay
This is a fabulous Rock to leave in your community, just a little reminder for someone – who knows who is meant to hear this.
When you create thick layers of paint and other products on your rock there is a high chance of it peeling off. Keep to nice thin layers, I have achieved this here with a technique of dipping your pens in water and getting this waterwash look. Read on with an easy way to add your text to this rock !

Use a black colour pen and outline the images and write your text which you can faintly see through the waterwash., Great pens for outlines are Posca 1m, !mr or the 0.7m size in Tooli-Art or Artistro.
And if you want to add a touch of highlight – pop on a few dots and dashes of white paint .

With a regular pencil, draw some even lines on your rock and write your message on the lines – I use the top and bottom lines to get an equal-ish size to my text. Take a fineline acrylic paint pen and write over the lines you wish to keep.
Let this dry then erase the pencil lines so you have the image below – Click on the lets learn graphic below to learn how to draw on Rocks
To get the waterwash background – Dip your pen in water and scribble on your rock over the text. Create thin watery scribbles, being wet they will bleed together. Also as it is thin & watery you can always see the text shine through to go over later.
Colour on your rock – I have just painted a nice even layer on the flower and leaves. 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. Add a touch of shading to the flowers and leaves.
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.
