“If you love the idea of rock painting, but don’t know where to start, Rock Painting for Beginners is the book to get. Teaching a number of different techniques (e.g., try dot painting vs. mixed media decoupage) that yield great results, it also teaches skills that can be applied to other crafts (e.g., decorating a notebook). So, not only are you creating beautiful rocks, you will also improve your general art skills.”—Maggy Woodley, Author of Easy Paper Projects & founder of www.redtedart.com.

“Adrianne packed so many clever projects into this book that you will never get bored! This book is perfect for someone new to rock painting and even the experienced painter looking for a fresh technique. After following the easy instructions in this book, you'll be impressed with both yourself and the beautiful rock art that you made.”—Carissa Bonham, founder and lead painter at I Love Painted Rocks, www.ilovepaintedrocks.com

"Finally, a rock painting book that relieves stress rather than causing it. Adrianne Surian has created a clear, user-friendly book that encourages readers to have fun, cultivate creativity, and relax and recharge. As a mental health writer and speaker, I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to create art and wellbeing."―Tanya J.
