Wide range of techniques & coloring mediums.
This is one of 4 books purchased for our class project (1 for each group). This is the most advanced. We enjoyed the variety of designs (simple to advanced); full range of coloring mediums from pencils to Sharpies & alcohol; glitter; paper or fabric; marbling, watercolors to decoupage. Author offers recommended brands for the specific mediums as well which was helpful. The 4th book I purchased at Michaels, Rock Art! by Denise Scicluna, had more “face art” options for people, critters, monsters, bugs, sun, moon, trees, ocean waves, zoo faces, etc. was more for beginners/kids and laid out instructions in more detail with each chapter providing a “You Will Need “ list. I could not pick one book over the other as our class gravitated toward the book commensurate with their skill level and interest. We used acrylic pens for our kindness rocks project.

Un buon manuale
Il libro è in inglese. Anche con la mia non eccelsa conoscenza della lingua sono riuscita ad usare questo manuale che insegna le varie tecniche per dipingere i sassi. L'ho trovato molto interessante.

absolutely the best of this kind of books
This is a really nice book! I bought also ¨The Little Book of Rock Painting from Bac, F. Sehnaz¨ but that one is NOT that good. We got a lot of inspiration and now we need more stones to paint.
