Just found your channel! Very nice tutorial! You have a nice voice and presentation. 🎨🖌️

[@alwayswanderingart]

Thank you! I hope to add more tutorials as time goes on.

[@indigo_diary]

Thank you! Something I don’t understand is how long you're supposed to wait in between different shades of colour so that they don't completely bleed into each other/cancel each other out because the bottom layer of colour is still too wet?

[@alwayswanderingart]

If you don’t want to combine / blend colour then you can feel the paper and if it is cool to the touch then it is still wet. Usually it takes about 5 minutes to dry completely, give or take, depending on temperature / humidity.

Really nice

[@briangilbert3884]

Very nice video, thanks for making it. I've always struggled with rocks. Question for you(in a somewhat related area), would you do something similar to suggest architectural stone textures? I love to paint when I travel to Europe, and I'm always attracted to old buildings, houses, squares, etc., and I'm always looking for good ways to suggest these surfaces. Thanks!

[@alwayswanderingart]

Thank you! Yes, I think that similar concepts apply. For example, a palette knife can be used to create texture in brick or other architectural stones if showing those stones up close, but if they are further away they would not have as much detail. Having a light and shadow side can also help enhance the painting.

I did would like to see more I subscribed

[@alwayswanderingart]

Thank you. Tomorrow, a new video comes out. I don’t want to spoil the title 😊

[@romypie3725]

@@alwayswanderingartlooking forward to it🙌

[@Debnfl]

Great . Do you let any other colors dry while doing the rock or are you wet or wet the entire time?

[@alwayswanderingart]

To create hard edges I wait for the paint to dry. Soft edges are best done wet on wet but can also be diffused later with clean water.

[@Belcih]

Wauhh video, what colors did you use in the last rock? Thanks ❤

[@alwayswanderingart]

raw sienna, burnt sienna, and ultramarine blue

[@Refl3x2077]

Very nice-what color do you use?

[@alwayswanderingart]

Mostly raw sienna, brunt sienna, and ultramarine blue

[@sherryscoloringandpaintingcorn]

[@Ashevillein]

Do you leave the pencil marks?

[@alwayswanderingart]

Most of the time I do leave pencil marks. But, if I’m painting certain things like clouds, I would try not to.

[@sherryscoloringandpaintingcorn]

how wet? like mostly but not quite dry?

[@alwayswanderingart]

Yes, it takes a bit of practice not bringing in too much or too little water

[@franciscocarmona1975]

Can somebody explain me what is the mistake of overbrushing? Imagine I’m a dog so i could understand

[@billgrandone3552]

Solution #2 pretend its a gold nugget!
