Lion Rock Painting

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare and sketch

   Wash and dry your rock. Sketch a circle for the lion's face and a larger fluffy oval around it for the mane. The mane should extend beyond the face on all sides.

2. Paint the mane

   Paint the outer mane area with brown paint, using short dabbing strokes to create a textured, fluffy look. Add darker brown at the edges for depth.

3. Paint the face

   Fill the inner face circle with yellow-orange paint. Apply two even coats and let dry fully. This is the lion's golden face.

4. Add face features

   Paint two round black eyes with white highlight dots. Add a brown triangular nose and a curved black mouth line below it. Paint small white whisker dots on each side of the snout.

5. Detail and seal

   Add ear shapes at the top of the mane with yellow-orange paint. Outline the face and ears with black for definition. 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.
