Tiger Rock Painting

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare and sketch

   Wash and dry your rock. Lightly sketch the tiger face: a large circle for the head, small rounded ears at the top, a broad snout area, and guidelines for the stripe positions.

2. Base coat

   Paint the entire rock orange. Apply two coats for vibrant coverage. Leave a lighter area on the lower face and inner ears for the cream-white zones.

3. Add white areas

   Paint the lower face, chin, and inner ear areas with white. Blend slightly at the edges where orange and white meet for a soft transition.

4. Paint the stripes

   Using black paint and your fine detail brush, paint bold curved stripes across the forehead and cheeks. Tiger stripes radiate from the center - keep them uneven and organic-looking.

5. Add face details and seal

   Paint two green or yellow eyes with black pupils and white highlights. Add a pink triangular nose and black whisker lines. Outline the ears in black. Seal 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.
