HOW TO PAINT REALISTIC ROCKS!! LEARN HOW TO PAINT LIKE A PRO!!

[@yourubehours]

Hearing my HS art teacher in my head as I watch this "make your darks darker and your lights lighter!"

[@ChrisKempter]

Yep! Good advice!

[@nosa47]

This is one of the most helpful videos on painting realistic rocks. Thank you very much for this.

[@ChrisKempter]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@lesrylett636]

As a new starter to painting, I find your in-depth explanations of one part of a painting helps me more than watching an artist showing their style on a complete painting. Your way gives the groundwork needed to help create your own style. Thank you for your help.

[@ChrisKempter]

Thanks! I appreciate that. Let me know if you would like me to make another video about a specific topic.

[@lesrylett636]

@@ChrisKempter Thank you for the reply. I am trying to capture rocky outbreaks on a steep hillside. The colours (color) is predominantly white, grey and black streaks, similar to chalk with grass and small shrubs interposed. These steep hillsides are in the distance behind trees. Have you done anything similar to this in your tutorials? My attempt appears flat and no depth. 😶

[@ChrisKempter]

@@lesrylett636 well I would have to see I picture of what you're reference photo looks like. I'm do sure I'm thinking of the same thing.

I like your comical critique of yourself. My first painting I ever did was rocks. Who knew they were so hard but I liked how it came out. I surprised myself. Now I’m Trying to do a abstract landscape-yikes challenging

[@gwendalynselfshakir2008]

Very nice.thank you..

[@ChrisKempter]

[@papaherms63]

You should be on the stage. You’re talented, interesting and funny. Best video on rock painting I’ve seen so far. Great tips cheers 👏👏👏

[@ChrisKempter]

Thanks!

[@TheWolfgangfritz]

Excellent tutorial! Please make more. I'm a 72 year old with lots of time on my hands. Got together with my "Rembrandt girlfriend" and am starting to do stuff I missed out in my childhood!

Right off the bet I love your sense of humor

[@ChrisKempter]

Thank you!

[@marialamasmiron1804]

Hola, me gustaría pintar con esa facilidad,muy buen vídeo gracias 🙂

[@sicjes1]

Ok, the most important take away from this video, so important that I paused it to come comment, is your words about never giving up and pushing through to the end, even when something looks horrible. I started painting last week after decades of wanting to. I have been stuck on painting #4 for days now. I keep fiddling with this or that, become happy with something, screw it up, fix it, screw it up some more, fix again...but I haven't given up! I will conquer this inverted cereal box I've converted into my canvas. I will finish my snowy pond, and move on with my life! Thank you for this video. I needed rocks, and I needed to hear your words of encouragement. Subbed.

[@ChrisKempter]

Wow! Your comment is the reason I keep making videos. So glad you enjoyed it!

[@GeezerDust]

Now, those are rocks ! Makes my rocks look like mere pebbles. Kidding aside, video was very, very helpful.

[@ChrisKempter]

A well executed pebble will render my pathetic attempts at rocks to mere dust.

[@ChrisKempter]

Nothing worth having comes easily. Only hard work and dedication.

[@michaelklein5242]

His personality does help things crackalate around nicely. Sometimes, with the best of intentions, artist tutorials can be arduous affairs on KZbin--you can get near comatose on some I've watched!

Best ever explanation of painting rocks. You are young, yet complete pro. Another lesson I’ve learnt here is never to get rid of.the old palette. Thank you young master.

[@TerryPaulson]

Thank you very much!!

[@Kieran87048]

The round rock painting reminded me of The Creation of Adam. Also the use of the brown/grey colour in the other definitely worked. The colour gave the painting depth and composition. Great tutorial.

[@ChrisKempter]

Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement!!

[@robaustin4050]

Hi Chris, thank you for the lesson. I do like your methods including your editorials, keeping it light. I hope you continue to produce videos and show the less talented how to do something. I like, "You must never give up, you just keep painting".

[@ChrisKempter]

Thank you sir! I appreciate that!

[@michaelpatrick7888]

This is my second time watching your videos, and both times you said you were adding texture but I couldn't see how or what you were doing. But you're a marvelous artist and teacher.

[@ChrisKempter]

I can't tell if you are be satirical, but I'm working on a video that I actually explain how I put the texture on. So I'll try and be more specific lol.

[@JULIET_AF]

@@ChrisKempter I’m cracking up. I don’t think she meant to be satirical but it definitely came out that way 😂

[@meganbrekelmans5842]

Good video. I especially like how you kept your errors and explained what was going on - I think a lot of beginners can benefit from seeing that when they can't figure out where they're going wrong. Not everyone is good with showing errors and talking about how to correct them, so good on you.

[@chenebowen2863]

Loved this...have to go find your parrot painting now since you mentioned it

[@ChrisKempter]

Thanks! The parrot painting video is one of my favorites, as is the painting. It's for sale on my website as well.
