Easter is the perfect time to get creative and make some colorful and fun easter painted rocks. The best part about painting rocks for Easter is that it’s a craft that can be enjoyed by kids and adults. How fun would it be to set-up a rock painting table for the family to enjoy before an easter egg hunt.

Or maybe you can do some easter rock hunting with easter egg painted rocks that you can hide. You can also just paint cute easter designs like an easter chick or peter rabbit. See below for the best supplies for rock painting, how to paint rocks and get some easter rocks design inspiration.

How to Paint Easter Rocks – Tips and Tricks

1. Sketch Your Design

Start by sketching your designs in a sketchbook or on a piece of paper. I find it’s much easier to figure out your design on paper first.

2. Draw the Outline on the Rock

Using a pencil, lightly sketch the design outline onto the rock.

3. Paint a Base Coat

With acrylic paint, paint the basic design. Don’t worry, you’ll fill in the details later.

4. Fill it the Design

Once your white design is completely dry, use your paint pens or acrylic paint to fill in the design. Let your rock dry completely before the next step.

5. Add Details

Using a black fineliner pen outline your design and add any details. This final step is what really makes your design pop.

How to Make Painted Easter Rocks – Quick Step by Step

1. Sketch out your design on a sheet of paper.
2. Outline the design on your rock lightly.
3. Apply a base coat of white paint covering your sketch and let it dry.
4. Fill in the design with color.
5. When that’s dry, add fine detail with marker.
