Decorate stones with flower designs in POSCA Deep Colours

Decorate stones with flower designs

Stone art is so much fun, but it can be a messy process. Here’s a clean way to decorate stones with flower designs. With POSCA paint markers you can avoid the mess by using your pens to write directly on the rocks.

The paint markers work effortlessly over the pebbles. The great thing is you dont have to faff about with pots and paints. And of course you can blend your POSCAs while they are wet and overlay the markers when they are dry, allowing for a wealth of possibilities.

Easy Easter project

We’ve used POSCA paint markers in new deep colours to create a lovely little stoney spring scene of flowers. POSCA deep colours are great for spring projects and a great alternative to pastels for Easter. And you don’t have to be an amazing artiste to whip up these seasonal stone designs. In fact, this project is great for kids as it’s so easy to accomplish.

Follow our super easy step by steps and see how simple shapes can be used to create colourful, beautiful blooms. We’ll talk you through a simple rose motif here…

Decorate stones with flower designs, step 1

Paint pebbles with POSCA

Select your favourite colour from your POSCA deep colour set and use it to create a base colour on your stone. Leave it to dry. Once it is completely dry, select a contrasting deep POSCA to your background to decorate stones with flower designs.

To create your stone rose, draw little dashes to create a centre. Add larger marks around the central lines and use them as markers to create curved shapes. Then use this technique to layer of shapes around each other until you are happy with the motif.
