What a great book!

Excellent teaching tool for beginner painters, this book is very well-written and the pictures show step-by step direction along with the written instructions. I would recommend this book to anyone even if they have never painted before. These painted rocks will be a beautiful and creative addition to the rock garden I am working on.

Unbelievably easy and so much fun

I never painted before and this past month I've painted eight rocks with results just like the photos in the book. I always knew that I had a talent for art, but never nurtured it because quite frankly, drawing or painting on two dimensional paper was very boring to me. However, this method is more interesting and fun. You paint on a three dimensional surface, rocks, that are free for the taking, and you can produce colorful, interesting, fun, and permanent pieces of art so quickly and easily. The minute I saw this book, it clicked for me, and I knew I had to give it a try. If you ever had aspirations to make art, but never did, try painting rocks with the help of this book. You just might surprise yourself with the results.

The Need for More Lin Wellford Books!!!!!

I can't wait for more books from this author! Painting Flowers On Rocks is an awesome book! This book goes through different flowers, such as roses, tulips, primroses, petunias, etc. It demonstrates how steps are done to create the painting, with wonderful colored photos and simple instructions.I was very surprised that it really is easy. I started out painting tulips on slate and they weren't looking like much of anything. When I finished I was astonished to see a great looking painting in front of me. The tulips looked REAL.I really do like this book. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys flowers. If you are new to painting, this is the book to start with. The wording is so easy to understand! These rocks, and this book would make a great gift for anyone. Along with my real flowers, this summer I think I am going to have a section for a rock garden!

IT'S THE BEST EVER

I always like to come up with something new to do and paint and this is perfect. Some how to books are not always the best at showing you how to. This book goes in step by step and shows you great pictures of finished products.

This is the best how-to painting book I've ever used

I have found this to be a very satisfying pasttime especially while camping where rocks are plentiful and soooooo cheap. A fabulous outlet for my rather modest talents.
