I couldn't wait to have a good look at this book as I draw and paint wooden items with similar designs.
Wow, what a lovely, colourful and well laid out book, full of beautiful ideas, tips and help. The projects are very well described and shown in stunning colours.

I absolutely love this book. Even though it is marketed towards beginners, they spare no detail and truly do transform rocks into works of art. I am inspired.

I received an electronic copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I love rock painting. I'll have some as markers for plants that might go completely dormant in the winter or to mark a special spot so 'Rock Art for Beginners' by F. Sehnaz Bac caught my eye. It has a beautiful cover and inspired ideas.

It is brief only 49 pages but in those pages there is inspiration. My favorite was the owl rock designs but I would have liked o see more diverse ideas. The book does cover prepping rocks and materials needed. It is a pleasant book on a fantastic art project idea for all age ranges.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review Rock Art for Beginners by F. Sehnaz Bac.

I’m not sure I’d consider this “for beginners” necessarily as some of these feel a bit more advanced, i.e. I cannot draw well but for some of these it would definitely help to be able to draw. I did enjoy it though and look forward to trying them out, the mandalas section was my favorite and the great explanations and the bright colors used throughout the book make for a fun, vibrant feel.

Wow - this book is even better than I expected! The images in this are really just spectacular and I was surprised by how vivid the images were. I was also happily surprised at how in depth this guide is for beginners. It has a ton of useful tools and tricks for being successful at rock painting. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Everything about rock art (rock painting) that is, how to start, which paint to choose, what kind of brushes we can opt for and several pattern choices for different rock shapes and sizes are given in this book.

It’s so beautiful. I find the book quite useful as a guidebook. Go for it. You will be thoroughly encouraged!

Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group - Quarry, for the advance reading copy.
