Directions

  1. Lay down newspaper to protect your workspace and put on clothes you don't mind getting paint on. Make sure the area has plenty of fresh air circulating.
  2. Wash each stone thoroughly using a scrub brush, soap, and water to get rid of any grime or loose particles.
  3. Apply a base coat or primer to create a smooth canvas that will make your detailed artwork pop.
  4. Add your background hues and patterns, letting each section dry for about 15 to 20 minutes before applying the next layer.
  5. Allow the painted surface to cure for several hours before attaching any extra embellishments.
  6. Protect your finished piece with a sealant choice that matches its intended location: matte spray for inside, glossy spray for inside, or outdoor spray varnish for outside use.
