How to Paint Water and Rocks

[@owleyes71]

Watching those rocks come to life was a learning experience for me.

[@armandzottola1626]

Armand Zottola : started landscape painting at 65. Now 80. It’s up and down. Self taught. Your work is so valuable to my eyes. Visual learner!

[@kenlyon7709]

good job,loved it

[@taniataito]

Its a pleasure and an honour to watch you paint, Thank you 🙏❤

[@gwendlyndomingo7215]

Beautiful painting as usual. I would really like to learn how to paint rocks under clear water. Hope you do that sometime in the future.

[@michelleoconnell6443]

Hi Chuck. I can hardly wait to start a painting similar to this one. Looking forward to seeing your completed one with the moose in the lake. I love your teaching method. You have great patience and I love your attention to detail. Thank you for sharing your awesome skills and abilities with the public. I am so lucky to have found your videos.

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

This is a beautiful painting! The water is phenomenal! Wow...eight hours to do the foliage and water. It would be some work to show this one in real time. Looking forward to seeing the moose go in. Really beautiful!!!

[@SparrowMountain]

That one is so helpful, it also taught me I prefer reference material paintings, even if they are mixed references. Hope you're staying refreshed buddy Dave from Canada

[@Ashley-pi5sq]

Amazing work! Absolutely stunning!

[@bobrutan4735]

Great! i enjoyed the process...... thanks for sharing.

[@trollgummaszauberwelt3530]

Wow, that's exactly what I was looking for: Painting with small brushes and working on details again and again even if it takes a long time. I love this technic and your advices are very helpful. Great job, thank you for sharing!

[@MrSnipper805]

I isn't just your painting that I like a great deal, it is also your unbridled enthusiasm, I am learning so much from you. Thank you very much

[@chuckblackart]

Thanks Peter!

[@gabrielsimons_artlife]

Enjoying this series Chuck, thank you for taking the time.

[@chuckblackart]

Most welcome and thank you, Gabriel!

[@katt8536]

Thank you for sharing. I subscribed a while ago and I always appreciate your talent.

[@juneduvanney5751]

Thanks again Chuck I was really in the painting as you went along fantastic talent and a great smile too!

[@autumnwest3687]

Wow. I am making a painting for my brother, he wanted a moose and ‘Bob Ross’ mountains. 😂 I was struggling with the water part so I was checking out videos. I thought it was really cool that him and I were painting that same thing! His definitely is on a whole other level but still thought it was awesome.

[@dorothyradley9391]

Beautiful painting Chuck. For me it's already amazing. Can't wait to see if completed. Thank you for showing how to paint rocks and foliage.

[@elizabethreems187]

You are an awesome painter!

[@sunnyboy4553]

Thank you, Chuck, especially for showing how to paint the smell rocks on the shore and the groundcover in the opposite corner,. I am working on a small 11X14 landscape now and I struggled with how to put some rocks on the shore. An art instruction book I have said to paint shadows under each rock, but because these rocks are so small, the shadows either went over parts of them, or seemed way too big and long. I also wasn't sure what color to use as the bhighlight on the rocks. So this video especially, is a big help to me. Thank you.

[@chuckblackart]

That's awesome! You are welcome, I'm just glad to see that the video can be of some help for you. Thanks so much for sharing and I appreciate the follow

[@sharbarigupta4326]

Chuck Black Art kindly help me to see the series to complete this landscape

[@burnished]

Just wanted to say that your color choices are spot-on. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@chuckblackart]

That's much appreciated!

[@mjjeter7169]

Another lovely tutorial! Many thanks for sharing your incredible talent, and making it seem easy. You encourage me to go for it, or to at least make the effort! You are so appreciated for all you do for the struggling wannabe artist!

[@sthorne526]

Thank you! I tried the techniques you demonstrate here on a landscape I'm working on. Scary at first, but as you often say, " trust the process." I did, and my river came out beautifully. I thank you again.

[@janey2562]

Beautiful beyond compare. You are a real artist.

[@flooklh]

Oh that water looks so real.... Can I dive in for a quick swim please? We have drought conditions for going on 3 years now... Some of that water flowing in our rivers would be simply awesome.... I can't wait to see the wildlife in that setting... This is going to be one of your best paintings. Congratulations!

[@chuckblackart]

Thank you Lindy!

[@vickierich4075]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing the details of the process. This is a beautiful painting.

[@MsMamaCyn]

Think this one is shaping up to be my favorite so far. Gorgeous.

[@kalpanap9826]

Wow, that’s why I love your videos, and follow you closely. Simply love your work, and the way you teach , and go about your paintings in detail. Awesome.

[@Shifter21000]

A really Beautiful painting! Glad I found your channel. Also I think you are also blessed that you have wonderful references to work with.

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Hi Chuck, Wow.. that water looks Stupendous!, along with everything else too.. 😊. The movement and splashes came out perfect. I’m not sure if I would have tackled that before you shared your approach & now I want to try that on a painting of mine that’s in the strategy stages. Again , a big thank you for sharing.

[@elizabethmullaney5266]

You have made my day showing me how to master a fabulous picture thank you

[@roseannerainwatersmith12]

My Goodness. It's looking so beautiful! You get down to the microscopic level. Can't wait to see the moose. Mooses? You hold your brush like a thousand different ways. Learning from you. Thank you!

[@chuckblackart]

Thank you! Yes I suppose I do hold the brush a lot of different ways! Just have it so I pick up I guess, anyways great to hear that and thanks for the kind words

[@muhammadowais3314]

i am loving this series of PaintLife

[@chuckblackart]

Great to hear that! Thank you!

[@osvaldomacedoneto9592]

OMG you nail on the tones. So cool, as always. Congrats Chuck!

[@artbyconniedawn9680]

Fabulous. I have never attempted a landscape but you are inspiring me.

[@margad6115]

I wish u were my teacher, ur techniques are really helping me improve u make it look so easy. Thanks for making these videos. X

[@thomasbenian4701]

Thank you. It was very helpful.

[@pigjalstifeni7031]

Very beautiful paintingand the river looking awsome.

[@Debbyiamme]

I hope it is a moose and her baby; I've been wanting to see you paint one. Anyway, I absolutely love what you've done so far; it's amazing. The reason you are my favorite is because you get such detail on everything and your paintings just remind me of my brother's fantastic love of and talent that he had of painting. He also loved the outdoors and mountains. He lived in Tennessee and made beautiful paintings. Don't get me wrong; you've got your unique talent and even your uniqueness in every way; it's just that your final paintings look so much like his. My brother also loved flying and there was one painting of his of an airplane that I couldn't figure out what it was. Years after he passed, I realized it was his view in the airplane when her flew upside down. Of course, I was the last of my beautiful large family that got it. LOL That's my uniqueness, I guess. LOL But I never said it out loud; so unless they see this confession of the one secret that I kept about not understanding what his painting was then they won't know. LOL Okay, I"m going to go look to see if you've uploaded your moose yet. Good Luck, I know it's a lot of work and I appreciate that. Thank you, thank you so much for sharing your gift.

[@chuckblackart]

As always thank you so much Debby, fun to read through the story of your brother as well. Would love to see some of his work sometime. Also I did end up going with a moose and it's up now!

[@Debbyiamme]

Yep, I just watched you paint the spectacular moose and her baby about an hour ago. I had actually been waiting for you to paint one. I did look through your previous paintings from before I started learning to paint, myself and found your male moose with the night sky behind him. That's amazing, too. I adore the mother moose with her baby. It's beautiful; the whole painting is. I'll get some pictures of my brother's paintings to email or message you through facebook. My older sister is coveting them. LOL It was first come, first serve, I guess. She lived in TN near him; while I am in NJ near the University Hospital for my son's sake. My son was born was hydrocephalus and has had 27 brain surgeries. His last surgery seems to be holding up; God, I pray it does. She keeps promising me to get a copy of, at least, one of his paintings. She has her own problems and trying to run her own business; but I'll get a hold of something at our family reunion this summer. It's supposed to be in TN this year. LOL I'll get pics of them, at least. My brother had given me some really good brushes quite a few years before he passed away and kept telling me that I could do it but I was so intimidated with paintings on canvas/paper, etc back then. LOL Now, things seem so much calmer in my life and I'm trying to learn with my brother's picture beside me. I know he would be proud that I'm even trying and a couple of them aren't that bad. I'll keep trying to get better, though. Thanks again, Chuck, for all your tutorial videos and sharing your beautiful paintings. I really enjoy them a lot.

You are just a crazy awesome artist. I am a beginner, and realize, wow, there is so much to learn about painting. You have inspired me to try oil paints over top of acrylic paints. Can you pls tell us what brands of acrylic and oil paints you use? Thank you so much Chuck!

[@curtriceennis2924]

[@chuckblackart]

Thanks Guy! Always very appreciated

[@abhijaps7015]

I studied a lot.. from your videos.. Thank you!

[@peggysterling57]

Beautiful video, can you please tell me what paintbrush used for small rocks?💗

[@ad6607]

Amazing

[@LCNazarene]

Do you ever mist your paints on the palette or mist the canvas? Do the fluid acrylics stay moist on the palette throughout the painting sessions, as opposed to heavy body acrylics?

[@chuckblackart]

I don't ever mist my palette, the soft body or fluids I think do tend to stay wet longer. Not a huge noticeable difference however, but mostly I just learn to work with the quick-drying properties

[@elenaalmeida4163]

Vc show .Trabalho fantástico. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩

[@snoopjog5060]

Talenteeeddd

[@ЭляЛевина-л6в]

Super! Masterpiece!However, as always!!!

[@nastashacarizal2646]

Is there a step by step tutorial on how did you do this painting like with the trees and bushes?

[@munnjean]

I've noticed this in a number of your posts ,, according to the description you state " I show you how to paint some amazing water and rocks " ,, actually all this shows is you painting. This is not " showing " the viewer anything at all in the way of instruction ,, the majority of your video posts are the same. That being said your work is delightful ,, you are very talented.

[@anamariamoya8844]

MUY HERMOSO PISAJE

[@huchenPersonal]

nice tutorial!!!!!!! can I ask: where can I download the reference file ?

[@cherylwatts1009]

What brush do you use to get that fine detail?

[@chuckblackart]

Its the round brush listed in the description

[@aynuraydogan1669]

Beautifull !

[@katestewart7749]

I just recently visited your website, how do you determine what price you sell your originals for?

[@chuckblackart]

I think it just comes with time. It's hard to figure that out early on, but over time selling my work has taught me what I need to ask for it. I like to tell people to start low and raise when it feels right. There's no straight forward answer I feel I can give on this .. Hope that helps!

[@fafhkkhjjj8293]

Which company colour ( oil or so on.) Plzzz tell us

[@matthewlabbylabbe]

@just artist I believe he uses a combination of Liquitex Soft body acrylics and Golden Fluid acrylics.

[@maribarnett6888]

Wow! 8 horas...Hermoso!

[@tussharindian8380]

awesome

[@zaidalmymoni6902]

Oil color or Aclryic

[@juanmorato3421]

nice painting, like.

[@smartix9899]

Very useful

[@aislinngraves4291]

Chuck, about how many hours can we expect to spend on that water for that level of realism? I can't imagine that it is a quick process. :)

[@chuckblackart]

Probably took me about a full day to finish the water and the rocks in the foreground. It definitely take a fair amount of patience

[@aislinngraves4291]

Patience indeed, but the hours fly by when you're in the zone. :) ( at least they do for me, I lose all track of time when I'm painting. )
