Format:Paperback
This is the third of Lin Wellford's rock painting books to focus on animals, and as in the other books, her instructions are clear and easy to follow. This time around, she focuses on common pets: tropical fish, guinea pigs, parrots, cats and dogs. She shows how different rock shapes are suitable for different animals and includes mini-guides on how to turn the guinea pig into a hamster, mouse or rabbit, and covers different colours and breeds of cats and dogs. This book is definitely a keeper.
For beginning rock painters, I also recommend her first book, The Art of Painting Animals on Rocks (not sure what the British version is called), as it covers some easier projects like ladybugs, snakes and turtles, as well as more advanced creatures, such as racoons, cats and foxes.

I Wish I Had Thought of This
10 Dec 2000
Format:Paperback
I am the least artistic person in the world. Stick men are really deserving of a place in a French museum if you ask me. So when my wife and kids said we are going to do some painting as a family project I laughed and figured we were changing the color of the bedroom.
But alas, we started to pick up ballast on the beach only to be transported home in a bag to be transformed into cute little rock pets. Amazing, simply amazing. Although mine looks like a toad with a tumor everyone else in the family followed the guide of this terrific book and created creatures that look like they could crawl away.
We have since purchased other books by this author and I am presently deciding how to re-support my house as a result of the additional 4000 pounds of rocks in the living room. I have tried to do other rock art but have decided to watch my kids or browse through the book. I could look at these pictures all day. They are amazing. Boy I admire people who can do this kind of stuff. Get this book to create but get it to simply say WOW what an imagination some people have.

A Fido that you don't feed
5 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
A new meaning to the words "Pet Rock":
Lin Wellford has out-done herself again! I just can't get enough of her books! For those of you who have not read any of Lin Wellford's books, let me tell you, IT'S TIME TO START! In "Painting Pets on Rocks" you learn how to paint your dog, cat, fish, and even your pet bird! The book doesn't just show you one type of dog, or only one cat. Lin gives you instructions on how to create many different rock pets. From Dalmations to bulldogs, tabby cat to siamese...this book has it all.
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. As with all Lin Wellford books, her instructions are written for the beginner and it is amazing how well your pet rocks come out.

All "How-To" Books Should Be So Clear!
4 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As in her other books, Lin Wellford's love of animals and painting shines through her work. I enjoy just looking at her photos of her creations, so full of the spirit of the animals she has painted. This book focuses on cats and a variety of breeds of dogs. Rather than being repetitious, there are so many variations that each project presents additional techniques and ideas. Her clarity and easy-to-follow instructions inspire confidence - a "Gee, I can do that!" attitude in even those that doubt their artistic abilities. Although painting on rocks is especially charming (and inexpensive!) these animals can also be used as decorations on other surfaces, such as boxes and glasses. But the multi-dimensional rock painting gives the user a grasp of what is really going on in a way that flat painting doesn't. I only wish she had put in more information about how to paint the chimpanzee, iguanas, hedgehogs and ferrets. (Perhaps next volume) Really a splendid book!
