For those of you who can't get Craftsmart local and don't want to have it shipped I used Folkart "Camel" Folkart "Cinnamon" Folkart "French Vanilla" Folkart "Medium Grey" Folkart "Winter White"

[@thesinaclwon]

I want my entire back tattooed exactly like that wall you made.

[@camy252camy3]

GW or Vallejo equivalents?

[@flowersflowers5070]

I came across you tonight and I too don't do gaming... I'm a 68 yo female but I have a Christmas Village and all the accessories are so expensive so I thought I would make my own and I found you. Thanks so much and your stone work is so realistic.

[@artfan101]

Dude, I'm not even into table top games and I love your channel. I'm an art teacher that was so inspired by your videos that I have started rewriting my curriculum to include more crafting and diorama making. Thanks!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

That's wonderful!

[@keithhorning7753]

Why couldn't I have a teacher like you, art projects in school kinda sucked donkey balls.

[@kittylitteral5417]

That's so cool, I am a student myself studying art but also homeschool 3 kiddos and we have played fart quest with the 5 and 11 year old. But also would love to do more diorama making.

[@seachangeau]

Oh my kids would have loooooved that

[@manweller1]

Thanks much appreciated 👍🏾

[@killerpinkart6173]

Great video as always! My 8 year old son watched this with me and said "now i want to watch all his videos". Oh and my son (Nolan) told me to add "Hi. You're the best. I want to be an artist when i grow up."

[@Antipolicestate]

Convince him he can be an artist AND a tradesman at the same time. Art school was not a good investment for me haha

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Hi Nolan 👋 Yup, solid advice is to practice art but learn a trade. They each offer valuable overlap of skill but one is much more reliable as far as work goes. Cheers

[@killerpinkart6173]

Yes....i too went to art school..... lol.(sigh) Thank you both for the kind words. He will be really excited to see you responded. Thanks for taking the time!

[@FindMeInKurume]

I absolutely cannot stand how much time this video takes away from my other stuff, because I think I've watched it about 6 times. This is by FAR one of the best stone detailing and painting videos, and I have learned lots from it. I need to watch it again next time until my techniques are down. Thank you so much BMC! dang I have to change my YT name to match my twitch and IG!

[@smd1uk]

Brilliant tutorial, thanks a million.

[@johngrasso2124]

That is so awesome, plus it works out so well with the individual glued stones

[@ImKsrSze]

I love the slow motion shot between steps. Really shows off the difference from one step to the other. Thank you. Keep it up dude!

[@WilSisney]

I have only recently started crafting (and DM'ing), so I have watched a ton of videos in a very short time. I feel like the crafting DM community has graduated from the basics and now we're getting into some very sophisticated techniques. This brick technique is perhaps the most sophisticated example of brick I've seen so far, and shows how just putting in a bit more work can go dramatically further in enhancing the realism of your work. And the end results are stunning! I am definitely going to put this to use in my brickwork, and see if I can figure out how to adapt it to my stone slabs, too. Really sensational tutorial!

[@mistac5050]

Just followed this identically on my action figure diorama using the exact same colors and it looks absolutely fantastic! The wash is the MVP!

[@FavoriteCreations]

Love it 👏🏼will definitely apply in my art work

[@TheQuinian]

subtle color.. that's it, that's what I was missing. I knew grey/grey/lighter grey was lacking something but I didn't know what. Thanks!

[@honieebean]

What a great idea with the green wash too! 😍

[@jude1515]

Looks great. I am going ro try this.

[@bradywomack9751]

Excellent basic video. I really liked that you talked about getting out of the comfort zone. It's the only way I've ever been able to grow my skill because I learn something even if it doesn't work.

[@simmerfreek3501]

So glad I found your channel. I'm a veteran crafter but a novice at table top game terrain! You have some of the best tutorials and advice for beginners on KZbin! You've definitely made a subscriber and patron out of me. Keep up the great work my man!

[@palexanderrice]

man i love your vids. it’s made terrain building soooooo much easier and cheaper

[@phil7556]

Wow! Fairly new to all this. I thought the black gray and white was all there was to it. But you demonstrated the artful perfection of the multitone muted colors effect. Its perfect! Thankyou for your tutorials!!!

[@lsmithctr]

Thank you so much! This is a wonderful tutorial!! I am very excited with how my stone walls turned out!

[@scottismail6311]

Great video! Love seeing the individual steps AND especially what the wall looks like up close after each step. That’s super helpful. I will definitely be trying this. Thanks.

[@NeonFrameProductions]

Hi Jeremy, first i wanted to thank you for sparking back an interest in model building. I used to do this this in high school, but gave it up for a bit. Ive been following for under a year now and hope to one day soon at least become part of your patreon subscribers. *Love the black paint/mod podge mixture. Has saved a ton of my projects. Its funny that i happen to come across this video today as I'm starting to paint an Old West store front. I was thinking that the grey scale would fall a little flat (or at least look like most my simple paint jobs) and wanted to get a different scheme as things would be a little more dusty than inside a cave. Cant wait to try this out.

[@ActeonEtharius]

Incredibly helpful, just built my first diorama using you painting techniques and it looks great, thank you!

[@joeyburke3047]

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for putting so much content out there for us, your channel is the reason i got into crafting. Cheers mate 🍻

[@ImaginerImagines]

Outstanding tutorial. I have a chi ton of Dragonlock tiles to paint and caught this video before starting paint. So helpful. Thank you!

[@alexchaviramusic]

Two Thin Coats! I love painting my stone off color, I have a bunch of stone terrain sets (tiles, walls, castles, houses), and I've painted them all different shades of brown, tan, and even sometimes green. Thanks for showing your take on this!

[@markhayes789]

I've come back to this vid several times. I think it's the best stone painting vid I've seen. Nice work, bud!

[@daviddreher8588]

Great video! Yes, it's quite amazing how many colors you find in rocks if you take the time to look. Ive taken to using at least 5-6 colors in my stone work, playing with value and temperature to get the result wanted. Keep up the good work!

[@PhoenixArk123]

The textures and highlights look sooo good. Helpful as always, thanks.

[@jennifersierra6696]

Thank you! Video helped me bring my D&D board to a whole other level

[@epicdungeontiles]

The end result is awesome, I like it. I'll have to try it when I'm not feeling so lazy!

[@zerakielvmark]

That was basically the only critique I ever had on your earlier projects where the masonry looked like something from Dark Souls but not perse real life. As a painter I just use whatever acrylic I have on hand (although model paint would be the best choice) and I gotten used to mixing various colors for my stones. And ofcourse looking at a lot of references online helps! This video is great and I hope you have many more to come! I especially love your videos about making monsterfigurines and I can't wait for the next one!

[@timraup4888]

That paint work looks absolutely gorgeous. I will have to give this technique a try some time.

[@boskostoybox]

Thank-you for this. I just started airbrushing and working on a few projects including some brick walls to go with those projects.

[@claudegagne2805]

I just taught my cousin this technique yesterday. I had to show him as he's french and didn't quite understand all the subtleties. I just built my first bridge myself and I'll send you a pic offline.

[@itscrawford]

I followed this tutorial and it turned out perfect! Fun project, great video!

[@claylewis8233]

terrific video. REALLY liked the close ups showing the texture/color. very nice!

[@Yoshi1_rc]

Barely finding your videos but you’ve helped me so much already being new to the hobby Thank you

[@adamwiley7625]

Love it, absolutely going to use this technique.

[@TarotVylan]

I used this to paint some custom bricks for a miniature base, and this worked amazingly! I was shocked by how much better it looked, after just the first coat of tan paint

[@CrimHawk]

I'm definitely looking forward to using this technique on my dice tower!

[@nicoleashworth5319]

This was fabulous. Thank you so much for your easy directions!

[@gerardvandermeulen62]

Brilliant stuff. Short, sharp, and to the point. Makes me wonder, who are those 70 guys that did NOT like this...

[@LaynieFingers]

Suddenly I see a new use for the thousands of interesting texture photos I've taken!!

[@a.mackrous7664]

Love your video. I can not believe that I found a d&d crafting video. Great idea and love the amazon linking good thinking.

[@DeanPark]

I’m a railway modeller in the Uk. And looking to do some sand stone, as seen at Waverley station in Edinburgh, Scotland. You’ve given me so top tips! Thanks. Dave

[@rottenreason35]

Thank you for this video I am working on a piece of stone and I did the lazy way (Grey, Lighter grey dry brush) and your right it looks boring and uninspired. I plane to take the information you provided and kick up my stone work! Thank you thank you

[@negotiableaffections]

Great tutorial - i'm making a faux 'heavily weathered' stone boss [a 'chiselled' sheild motif that's supposed to have fallen from the buildings facade]. The piece I'm making the mold of, was naturally weathered but I think it may all be lost when I de-mold. [should have taken pics, I know]. Your little video came to me at just the right time - I'm well passed the 3/grey effect, and your techniques are good source material saving me some trial and error. Cheers my friend, and success to your channel.

[@nathanielvanvliet9837]

Thanks for the dry brushing tutorial. I'm a newbie and was doing that step wrong, getting too much on my models :D

[@ModelRailroadCardStock]

Many thanks for posting this video, great take-aways for use of Mod Podge, mult-colors for realistic stone works, and use of washes!

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

After each step I thought hey that looks great then you did another step. Looks great walls foundations or anything stone. Well done Jerome

[@kerriwatts4195]

Thank you for sharing!! Great tutorial.

[@terrainbytrigue8935]

Thank you for this vid. the timing was perfect....coming home tonight from work staring at 4 buildings in a medieval village build, everything was painted except the stone blocks....I'm thinking 'I need to do something special with these...hmm.. let me go on youtube and get some inspiration'....I luv it. Trying this method out directly :D

[@marcmagnier]

I just followed your technique, it's incredible! Thanks!

[@ironwill1964]

Thanks for sharing!! I want to use this technique on my HO-scaled module layout to paint the retaining walls from a bridge.

[@milesimagination.4525]

This is so unbelievably helpful. I do minitures I done a practise run with painting brick work and it looked so cartoonish I will definitely be using these tips and hope I can do as much justice as you have.

[@mistac5050]

Man, so glad I found your channel... I use your tips for my action figure dioramas

[@edwingarcia7720]

Im paining a Gargoyle miniature and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@drightenneugebauer33]

Love this video been using it every time I need to do stone

[@bethanygraham427]

Great video. I paint mine in a very similar way, however, I also add a touch of some bright colour in the washes stage, a purple or crimson here and there. It does not stand out, but leaves a nice subtle variation.

[@JagerKreig]

I've been waiting for a video like this!! Thank you so much.

[@ShipWreck68]

Perfect. One of the most useful videos I've seen.

[@dyrckhughes2463]

Thanks for the 'new' brick coloring. I was thinking of using the techniques that you used on the gallows for bricks as well for wood, but this seems about the same idea and looks much better than just the modpodge, grey, white scheme .

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

The the principal is the same really dont paint things the "obvious" but unrealistic colour....don't paint wood dark brown and don't paint stones with a grey that has no colour undertones. Both should be a variety of shades and tones.

[@ReflexologyFTW]

A fantastic technique, Jeremy. I think the bricks look stunning with or even without the black wash. :)

[@randykowal3397]

Everytime you improve a build or unique its so exciting. I love how you keep improving and want to do better. Your commentary is excellent too. Keep up the good work. I'll use this instead of your last method I love using a bucket and rocks. Also my boss is a commercial electrician and he's color blind D:

[@sabaton445]

Never done stonework before until I got a martello tower for Black Seas. This tutorial helped me greatly.

[@Miniinish]

Best video on this yet, thank you soooo much!!

[@scorpionwins6378]

Thank you for the tutorial! This piece I'm working on will go well with my Kool-aid man figurine

[@kymwilliams8301]

Absolutely love this painting video!!

[@xSHAD0WENx]

I like how you are using a little Vlog filming into your videos. it's a nice touch.

[@richardmc3781]

Brilliant concise tips, thanks!

[@Ratel90Gunner]

Dude, that's awesome! Going to start using your technique right now!

[@tomfowler4501]

Not started crafting yet but beginning to think I can after watching many of your brilliant vids

[@droberts1664]

That is so cool. Ive never done anything like painting tabletop stuff. But i want to get into it. It looks so fun, i hope i can do it.

[@ModerateHipster]

Gorgeous work, as ever!

[@sebmoutray-read5407]

Love watching your vids every week!

[@arniecoons8248]

very well done and very well presented. Thank you, Sir.

[@guylawrance2216]

Great Stuff Buddy ! Very Professional Camera work too. Best Wishes From London 👍👍👍

[@jeffrichards5106]

Great tip, looks awesome, thanks for the video!

[@BrickBakery]

I really like watching your videos. Even though my creative medium is something else that the things you use, it still gives me a lot of ideas! Thanks for sharing your wonderful advice and your creativity! You are a wonderful craftsman. Keep up the good work :-)

[@oliverkemp7747]

Very very instructive video! Thank you so much, it helped me a lot!

[@CTTH100]

Amazing!!!! Looks so realistic!

[@kalachivan158]

Bonjour de la France et merci pour tes vidéos qui sont toujours super sympa

[@stuartfarrell6729]

thanks i have been off with the just grey tone paint now ill try this on my old broken keep that I have had for over 20 years

[@johnwagner308]

Nice close up video. Very realistic brick work.

[@davideck3635]

Wow. That looks fantastic and you explain it so clearly that you give me the confidence to try this myself. Thank you! Love your videos. I use your tips to work on horror miniatures!!!

[@Vonfluff]

That was awesome mate - thank you,

[@jeremydailey]

Excellent technique brother!

[@robsonribeiro7552]

Color Blind guy here following all the steps lol. Thanks dude!

[@h.p.4839]

"Just a wall of bricks" I thought. But a really awesome one! Found it, by searching for your video how to weathering bricks/stones ... and couldn´t end to watch it until it was finished. :)

[@LearnCentreOrg]

Thanks. I leant a lot from this vid.

[@InkDropCustoms]

Excellent… thanks for sharing

[@psychotimo]

dear god, this is just epic, i've been bingewatching these vids lately... i've always been a fan of dark fantasy so these builds really fit my style and dear god that detail 0.o saddly i suck at the detailing and painting stuff, (having aphantasia doesn't help there) but i'm pretty good at crafts, luckily i have a friend that sucks at the crafty parts but is really good at the artsy parts, so i'ma just link him these vids and together we'll make 1 fine arts and crafts team :3

[@DMInsomnia]

Very nice man, this will definitely up the quality of my future builds

[@Maxippouce]

Awesome skill

[@mikleman996]

This is cool! exactly what i was after for basing new army

[@brabopainter8282]

Awesome work, love too try it out.

[@DrumDudeMatt]

You've really outdone yourself on this one. I never thought I would say this but, that is one fucking beautiful wall.

[@2121toso]

Great video. Thanks

[@dwyerd4532]

Tried to do this same effect on your pillars but all the subtleties were lost in the wash. Seeing how "cartoony" it has to be for it to show up afterwards really helps. Thank you for this video, as simple as it is. My next pillars I'm sure will be majestic.
