Dover Art of Stone Painting: 30 Designs to Spark Your Creativity

Valueless content

I love this book and so glad I purchased it. Instructions and photographs are very clear. I've spent endless hours making my own characters and find it very peaceful and relaxing.

We didnt pick this book by accident.We hoped it would help with a community project in Wales and it really has. To cut a long story short basicially there has been an iniative called Torfaen Rocks where children and adults have began painting and leaving stones to be found, then photographed and uploaded to the Facebook page "Torfaen Rocks" which has been hugely successful in getting kids outdoors. As someone who used to do a lot of art, my daughter Eden, has been nagging me to come up with some semi decent designs to help encourage it to really take hold in North Torfaen - Blaenavon where we live. We've seen that some of the more unique rocks have been taken further afield and photographed in places like Hong Kong for the children who really get a buzz out of it. Hence looking for a book like this for inspiration. This book definitely fits the bill for simple yet effective designs. It's a low cost hobby and in all fairness to the guys at Torfaen Rocks it's been lovely to see children away from the I pads and out sharing designs and getting excited about finding others art work. I suspect after over 6 weeks during winter, that this trend Will keep up and design books like this will grow more popular. The owls and animal designs are really cute and the simplicity of the ideas, make them ideal for giving of gifts - who wouldn't appreciate the effort into finding just the right rock and then the hour of drying and designing? A lovely book. A lovely kind of activity.

Les modèles sont magnifiques, le livre est en anglais mais les photos de réalisation "pas à pas" sont très explicites. Je recommande!

Molto bello. A me serve come fonte di ispirazione per i miei lavori e per attività didattica. In inglese ma con illustrazioni chiare tecni he intuitive.

My grandchildren, love to paint on anything that will not run away from them. We have lots of rocks we collect from the creek and this book is very inspirational. The instructions are clear and the pictures are self-explanatory. I enjoy the designs as much as the kids! Great book for all ages.
