Koala Rock Painting

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base coat

   Wash and dry your rock. Paint the entire rock gray and let it dry completely. Apply a second coat if needed for full, even coverage.

2. Sketch and paint the ears

   Sketch two large round ears at the top of the rock. Paint them gray with white inner ovals. The inner ear should be slightly pink - koala ears are their most distinctive feature.

3. Paint the face

   Paint a large oval gray nose in the center of the face - koalas have a very prominent, leathery nose. Leave the area around the nose lighter gray.

4. Add eyes and details

   Paint two small round eyes above the nose with black pupils and white highlight dots. Add a small curved smile below the nose. Shade the face edges slightly darker for dimension.

5. Finish and seal

   Outline the ears and face with a slightly darker gray for definition. Let everything dry fully, then spray with clear sealant.

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.
