Realistic Rock Animal Paintings

Animal shapes dictated by the configuration of the stone they end up resting on.

The following is how Roberto Rizzo introduces himself on Etsy: "I am an Italian Creative and Painter inspired by Animals and Nature. I paint in acrylic on canvas, stones, paper, wood panels, sand, clay, etc."

Today we are going to have a look at his animals on rocks and stones.

These paintings are not just a gimmick, but a seriously good painting. The shape of the rock/stone and the animal work in unison to end up with a perfect fit. Add to that the quality of the piece and wheat you end up with is a real impressive animal portrait.

The post includes: Examples of the before and after, WIP step by step and so many more impressive animals to see. (we have more stone art see on this LINK)
