Paint ROCKS That Look Realistic #1 (Real-Time WATERCOLOR Tutorial)

[@sabbiemv]

Not even 2 minutes in and I’ve learnt something, thank you! Just seeing how you made the different consistencies of paint is brilliant! I’ve often struggled with the watery, milky and creamy consistencies always adding way too much water, so thanks so much for that demo. I shall be hunting out my pipettes 😁

[@TheDevonArtist]

Thank you very much Sabrina for both your lovely comment and of course for watching my video. Paul 😀

[@OliviaAndOlive]

[@TheDevonArtist]

This is fantastic! I've been having trouble remembering whether it's pulling things forward is for darks or pushing back for lights. Now, it will be an easy rule to remember. If I want to make a thing farther away or smaller paint it dark, because the part of the rock that went away was dark. If I want to make something closer, or taller and bigger add highlights, or add less dark. When you put a highlight on that small rock in front it actually looked taller and bigger. We will just have to learn by experience just how much dark or light to use. Thanks for this lesson. I told my husband that I'm gonna paint some rocks 'cause I can't fail at that. He thinks I can draw anything lol.

What a lovely comment you have just left, thank you so much. The good thing about painting rocks, is that to me, not one is the same, so you have a free rein to get creative with every rock you paint. Make them up as you go along, change the shapes, sizes and colours. Thank you for your kind words, Paul 🎨

[@Ashevillein]

Fantastic. I am popping off to do myself.

[@TheDevonArtist]

[@Ashevillein]

@@TheDevonArtist I have seen dozens of explanations of washes and never one as straightforward as this one. Thank you.

Thank you so very much ... your tips & tricks are brilliant! You know, I think being a Phenomenan is not for always. Real Talent however, like yours, is pur sang... eternal!

[@TheDevonArtist]

That's a lovely thing to say, thank you very much indeed. At least you can see that the way I like to simply play with the paints and paper, it's amazing what you can create when you don't think too much. LOL Paul 🎨

[@katepanthera7265]

I see what you're doing there at the beginning, but I use pan watercolors. Still, I see how preparing the different dilutions of paint beforehand is super-helpful. Love watching you do this. I see artists do the wet in wet all the time, but I still can't get the hang of it. How is the paper staying wet long enough so you don't get dry paper and hard edges? When you did the second smaller rock and sucked up some of the darkest paint - when I've tried to do that, it just sucks every bit of the color back up. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[@TheDevonArtist]

Thanks for watching Kate. 😃

[@tma4446]

Thanks for the technique. I’ve been trying to do rocks for a while and they turn out looking like large raisins or a potato. I’m going to give this a try. 🌸

[@TheDevonArtist]

You can do it! I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Paul 🎨

Do not confuse accents with poor grammar.

Thank you Judy, my accent can be tricky to understand, and I have to admit my grammar isn't the best, but I do what I can with my videos here. 😊
