Zebra Rock Painting

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. White base coat

   Wash and dry your rock. Paint the entire rock white. Let dry and apply a second coat for a bright, solid white base - this will be the zebra's background color.

2. Sketch the stripes

   Lightly pencil in the zebra's stripes - they should run vertically on the sides and curve across the face. Vary their widths and angles for a natural look.

3. Paint the black stripes

   Fill in the pencil-marked stripes with black paint. Use your flat brush for wider stripes and the detail brush for finer ones near the face. Keep edges sharp.

4. Add the face

   Paint two large dark eyes with white highlights. Add a black nostril area and a soft mouth line. The black mane at the top can be suggested with short upward brush strokes.

5. Finish and seal

   Let everything dry fully. Clean up any stripe edges with white or black as needed. Spray with clear sealant to protect your zebra rock.

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.
