For those of you who couldn't get enough of "The Art of Painting Animals on Rocks" this book is the answer. After painting most of the animals in the first book, I wondered about the best way to paint a skunk, squirrel, or wolf...and here they are in this book! There are especially good step-by-step instructions for painting bears, cougars, tigers, lions, and wolves. When I sell my rocks at craft fairs, I can never have too many frogs or mice! All three of the author's books have been a great inspiration to me, and I highly recommend this one if you are looking for more animal painting ideas.

Another amazing book! Lin Wellford makes painting animals so easy. Everyone can make these adorable rock creatures. This book, Painting More Animals on Rocks, is the second 'animal on rocks' book. I really hope she comes out with more because these books are great!

Painting More animals on Rocks shows you how to make very cute mice, bears, wolves, wild cats, penguins, cows, and so much more. Your rock creatures nearly look real when you are finished painting them. I made some frogs for my flower garden, a few mice, and a penguin so far.

Even if you have never painted before, you can do these projects. The book has full color, nearly step by step photos with the step by step instructions. I just love it.

I had been interested in Lin Wellford's books for a long time, but never really painted an animal rock. I bought this book, ready to try it. First I did a frog, which was very simple.
The furry animals use a script liner, and that is not my favorite paint brush, so I was a little nervous that I couldn't achieve the fur strokes.
I went ahead and tried a squirrel, and I was so surprised at how easy the fur turned out to be. I've painted a few more animals since then, and they are very easy to do. Very watery paint and a #1 script liner (the shorter one) makes it very easy.
If you are looking to start painting rocks, don't hesitate...this is the perfect book! I would recommend it to everyone who is interest in painting!

I really liked the first Painting Animals on Rocks book, and I bought this one specifically to learn to paint frogs. As always, Lin's instructions are crystal clear, taking you through every step. I like crafts but have never been good at anything representational (something that's actually supposed to look like something). However, with this book, my rocks came out looking just like Lin's--how satisfying. I am amazed at her generosity in sharing her techniques. I was also happy to see her give detailed instructions for some of the animals from the gallery in her first book, such as a panda. I'm looking forward to trying mice, and I'm hoping to gain the confidence to do a tiger. Lin's introduction in which she shows you one of her earlier rocks is really an inspiration--even the 'real' artist has improved. If you want to try a fun, relaxing, rewarding, inexpensive craft that wows everyone, follow Lin's step by step model and you'll even wow yourself.

This book has so many ideas for a craft person. The instructions are very easy and the rocks are fun to make. My 5 year old grandson found it easy too. He made a Lady Bug. This book is worth having if you are loooking for a project that doesn't cost much money, and is really fun to do. You can take the whole family out on a hike looking for rocks, this was a nice outing too. Have fun and enjoy.

I stumbled upon this hobby by accident. I was an art minor in college and have done a lot of oil paintings. When a friend told me about painting animals on rocks, I had no idea what she was talking about. I have painted my first animal (a leopard) and it turned out great. I gave it to my cousin and she raved about it. The author is wonderful in her ability to inspire and direct "the student." My only disagreement is with having to draw the outline on the rock starting out. I think that may add a certain difficulty. I just go ahead and paint, making slight adjustments when needed. I find doing it that way to be much easier. I am really loving my new found hobby and hope to possibly sell some animals on rocks in a craft fair held annually here where I live. I am 67 and retired.

I found Lin's new book full of wonderful ideas for painting on rocks. Her direction,photos, and detailed instruction helps beginners of course, but even us seasoned painters who are trying out a new medium. Loved her first book on painting animals, loved the second, when's the third coming out? By the way, loved the animal grouping at the end of the first book, missed it in the second. Maybe something to consider for the next one?

I thouroughly enjoyed this latest installment of Ms. Wellford's art books. I had received her second book about paining houses on rocks as a gift from my husband. After being so impressed with this one, I bought the first book on animals and now just finished the latest. Thanks to the author for kickstarting my creative juices!

This book has so many ideas for a craft person. The instructions are very easy and the rocks are fun to make. My 5 year old grandson found it easy too. He made a Lady Bug. This book is worth having if you are loooking for a project that doen't cost much money.

I purchased this book along with the first one, "Painting Animals on Rocks" as a gift for my father who loves to paint. He really has enjoyed them. The details and the "how to" descriptions are great for learners and those who enjoy a challenge.
