Giraffe Rock Painting

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base coat

   Wash and dry your rock. Paint the entire rock with yellow or golden paint. Apply two coats for rich, even color, letting each coat dry.

2. Add giraffe spots

   Using brown or orange paint, dab irregular polygon shapes across the rock - these are the giraffe's distinctive patches. Vary their sizes and leave yellow gaps between each patch.

3. Sketch the face

   On a taller rock, sketch the face at the top - two long oval eyes, small nostrils, and two short ossicones (horns) on top of the head.

4. Paint the face

   Paint large almond-shaped eyes with long eyelash lines in black. Add small oval nostrils. Paint two small horn bumps at the top with brown tips.

5. Add details and seal

   Outline the spots with a slightly darker brown edge. Add white eye highlights and a gentle mouth curve. Spray with sealant when fully dry.

6. Add RoxGeo Code

   On the bottom or back of your rock, write ROXGEO.COM followed by a slash and your rock’s unique code (e.g. ROXGEO.COM/ABC123). This lets the finder go directly to your rock’s profile page and log their discovery. If the rock is too small for the full address, write #ROX followed by the code without spaces (e.g. #ROXABC123) — it’s short, easy to search on Google, and leads straight to your rock’s journey page. Use a fine-tip permanent marker or acrylic paint pen, and seal it with clear varnish so the code stays readable through rain, sun, and adventure.
