Monkey Rock Painting

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base coat

   Wash and dry your rock. Paint the entire rock brown and let dry. Apply a second coat for even coverage.

2. Paint the face area

   Paint a large tan or beige oval in the lower center of the rock for the monkey's muzzle and face area. Add a slightly smaller circle above for the forehead highlight.

3. Add ears

   Paint two round brown circles on each side of the rock for ears. Add a smaller tan or pink oval inside each ear.

4. Paint face details

   Add two round black eyes with white highlights above the muzzle. Paint a small black nose and a curved smile on the muzzle. Add eyebrow arches in dark brown.

5. Finish and seal

   Add thin dark brown outlines around the face features. Let everything dry completely, 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.
