I very much liked the lifting technique for depicting scars and spots! It gave me a whole new world of possibilities! Same for the splattering with water! Thank you so much for the useful tutorial!

[@FannaTurano]

Brilliant & beautiful! I initially learned a vastly different (and fun!) rock painting technique from Birgit O'Connor, but yours is so much easier in execution as I see it. I've forgotten how to create divots & dings, so your tutorial is a marvelous reminder, so thank you, Ken! Fanna Turano Denver, CO

[@rozitasheilarahim8016]

Great tutorial. The brown stone looks like a potato in my eyes. Maybe another way to paint potato for me. Thank you for the lessons. 🌹❤️

Very Nice. I am new to water color and doing a similar kind of painting. What color you have used for darker background? What Technique you ahve used. Wet on dry or wet on wet?

[@rosemaryclark610]

very helpful! Thanks. Makes painting rocks a little less intimidating. What about slate walls like in mountains? The only way I can figure that out is using saran wrap. Is there a better way? Thanks again!

[@fnhc2023]

excellent

[@joannabecker6846]

Beautiful sample tutorial but I wish you would have done the whole painting you showed at the beginning. I painted along and made my three rocks and was sad that you ended it there!

[@KenHobson]

Thank you Joanna, I have had a number of followers who wanted shorter vids, I will try some that are a little longer in the future, your comments are appreciated. Ken

[@luckyhiker3434]

Ken, was the black marker you used acid free or does it no really matter?
