Thank you so much John, it sure does help us beginners to learn to paint with your awesome tutorials. You are a great teacher. Keep up the great job you are doing!
Great lesson John...I watch all your videos and share them. This is a much needed lesson...I cannot paint rocks for some reason and have been searching endlessly for the longest time..yes ..almost two yrs and trying to paint them...not ONE lesson out there on rocks...John your a wonderful teacher...thanks so much for all your time and patience...posting full vids.
you're very welcome... I listened to some of my subscribers' comments and come up with this tutorials and planning to do more that are much more needed to help them improve...
Thank you John for taking the time to teach! You are a gifted artist and I have learned alot from watching your videos. I am sharing your work with my friends!
John your the best!! Wow, I haven't watched yet..but thanks so much for this lesson on rocks. I have been looking for lessons on rocks and cannot find any for almost a yr now. A big thanks from the states.
you're very welcome... I just listened to my subscribers what they are suggesting. And here it is. So I wanna say thank you also for being part of this channel... :)
Oh my goodness John. I struggle to get my rocks looking like rocks. You make it look so easy. I guess that is the difference between an artist and a beginner. is experience and talent. I will keep on working on it.
I just started painting and can't follow tutorials very well for some reason but I watched this video a few times and I was finally able to start painting rocks tonight... Thank you :)
this will help lots of people who are new learners these little things make a huge difference in a painting .you explain so nicely and in detail i me so happy that i come across your channel there's always something new and great to learn thank you so much for the help you r giving to beginners like me 👍🏻
you're welcome... I remember the time when I was on my early months and years of painting.. I was struggling to paint rocks and some other simple things in painting like tree leaves, trunks, clouds etc... So here it is. I am painting them now and giving more focus so that others will not struggle as what I've experience before... Thank you for following.. :)
love the way you show the finer details, thank you for sharing I think your paintings are amazing, and really enjoy watching and learning from you ..cheers Mel..
Thank you John. What timing! We are remodeling a house and i want a rock fireplace but the $$ is just not there yet. Right now the fireplace is just flat wood that i thought after sanding would be a great surface to paint on... I thought i would try to paint the rocks on. Big leap of faith here since i have very little to no experience painting rocks. Hopefully they won't look silly . I think you helped me out alot here. Thanks so much. Hugs! deb
You're welcome Deb. That's a great idea! Or you can add a little textures like adding some modeling paste as what IS 2 suggested. Or you may use permatix or classitix for the textures which a lot cheaper and you can find it on local hardwares. You can do the textures first before adding the paints.
Thanks so much John and IS 2 .......Would you just put the texture on all over first then break it into individual stones or would you try to outline the stones you want first then add the texture? I'm nervous to do this can you tell?? lol But if i can even just get it close to right i think it will look awesome! :) Hugs! deb
Wow! happy to have found you. I love that you've broken so many things down and shown us how to paint leaves, trees, grasses, rocks. Just what we need! Thank you.
thanks so much you've really helped me with this...ive been looking for different types of rocks for my seascapes.....this is exactly what i was looking for......thanks again....god bless
Thank you so much your video is extremely helpful, could you tell me why you use lamp black? I've been taught to never use black only mixing darks from blue light red and sienna. I love what you do
you're welcome... I really don't use pure black in my paintings... That's why you observe that I am mixing it with other colors like burnt sienna, blue or sometimes red to make it not so black.. Black alone is not good when you apply it directly but if other colors mix on it. It's ok for me... And also I use lamp black to mix it with phtalo blue with white to make it blueish gray... It's hard to create blueish gray using only blue, red, yellow and white... So it is still an advantage if you have black on your palette.
brother. I swear to God you read my mind. I was thinking of sending you a message and to ask you if you could please make a video on how to paint rocks and mountains. You are the best. Thanks so much brother. You are number one.
thank u for the rocks. I successfully made 4 really good rocks. I would share painting but not sure how. do u still do videos? of love one on bushes, can't figure out. I'm watching all yours, realizing how to mix colors as well. thank u much. good teacher.
