Classic Halloween Designs

The designs cover all the classic Halloween icons, including grinning jack-o’-lanterns, eerie ghosts, and tangled spider webs. Many are simple and beginner-friendly, while others offer a challenge for more experienced painters.

1. Classic Jack-o’-Lantern: Start with a bright orange base and add a black triangle-eyed, jagged-toothed grin for an instantly recognizable pumpkin face. Ideal for first-time painters.

2. Cute Ghost: Paint a smooth white base and add a wavy-bottomed ghost shape with tiny black dot eyes and an “oh!” shaped mouth – gentle enough for younger children.

3. Spider Web: Paint the rock black and use a fine brush to draw thin white lines radiating out from the centre into a web pattern. Add a tiny painted spider for an extra creepy touch.

4. Black Cat Silhouette: Paint an arched-back cat outline in black against a moonlit background. A quick and striking design that’s easy to master.

5. Candy Corn: Paint three even bands of orange, yellow, and white to recreate the classic treat shape. These cheerful rocks are a fun, easy project for kids.

6. Haunted House: A haunted house design brings a touch of storytelling to your rock painting, perfect for slightly more confident artists.
