Wonderful Michelle! Whenever i think that watercolour is too difficult and i’m going to give up in favour of soft pastels, a video like this makes me want totry again with a rocky beach scene. Thanks again 👍
Wow that’s awesome techniques to add to my skills. Yes the rocks look more solid and one almost looks like it has the start of some moss growing on it. Thanks for sharing these tips, because it’s definitely helping me with figuring out different things for my landscapes.
You are such a good teacher. I really like the way you give reasons for why paints work. Shirley in Texas

I like these quick tip vids! It would be nice to have some advanced rock painting tips.
Thanks so much for this one; I know NOTHING about landscaping and am trying to do a rocky landscape from Hawaii as a wedding present. I was lost till I watched this particular episode (I was already a subscriber so I knew I could count on you, and glad you happened to cover this last month!) Whew!!!! Thanks again!!!!
Very helpful and good timing as i can watch whilst eating my dinner.
Great tips Michele. Hadn’t thought of granulating colors even though now they seem obvious for rocks. 😝 And I like the glazing effect too. Thx very much. 🥰
Thank you so much for this video, it will help no end with my drawings 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks ❤
Thank you!
Awesome video, I'm trying to study granulation and how to mix granulating colors I'll definitely try rocks
Thanks 😊
WOW ! GOOD info. Thanks
They work for me! Will try them this evening on my seascape. As always, thanks so much! 🎨
Love it when I learn something totally new!
I’ve been enjoying these quick tips!!! I definitely want to try the glazing and tissue effects!

Thanks so much for subscribing!
Nice tips
I learned so much with all your tips. Thank you so much for thé tutorials.
Great information
Thank you ❤️🦋
You are so welcome
Wonderful tips, as usual. This will be very helpful to me, as my rocks often look like amorphous lumps!
Speaking of shortcuts, that short cut suits you well!
Thanks!
I always love your videos! Your instructions are clear and you have excellent examples! Thank you so much for being there for those of us that struggle with certain aspects of watercolor.
Glad you enjoy them!
Thanks!
Thanks Patricia, very kind of you X
Very nice granular effect. Texture. I’m finding myself looking at this video a second time.
You’ve encouraged me to finish a colored pencil and watercolor picture of a volcano dragon from Iceland. I believe your paint mixing with a granular color will give his skin a more crepe-look
No baby pictures for me
Volcano dragon sounds amazing!
Very useful- thanh you Michele
You’re welcome 😊
👍
I am learning so much from you. Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom. ☮️
I'm so glad!
Really makes me want to try this
Go for it!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber I did tonight, took me a few attempts to get a decent result, my first efforts were far too pale. I am a complete beginner.
@@barbaracampbell1355 Ah, how exciting, keep going!
Just to have a laugh, burnt sienna and red oxide are perfect rock colours here in Australia.
Wow Michele. Brilliant short tips video. So would cling film work better with granulating colours ?
Yes indeed.
Fantastic hacks, Thanks for sharing!!! Or can’t I just add some granulating medium to my non-granulating paints?
In theory yes, but I've never found one that works well. Do share if you know of one 🙂
I’ve tried painting rocks myself and they don’t even look like rocks because they have no texture and they’re a single colour. This does help.
Can you use “granulating medium” for rocks? Thanks 💜
Yes you can! However the one I tried wasn't very effective, I have yet to find a brand that's as good as granulating colours.
Michele, what is "paper tissue?" In the video, it looks like what we call paper towels (that come on a roll) usually used in the kitchen. Or is it what we hear in the U.S. call Kleenex, to blow our noses especially when we have colds? Or there is what we here call "tissue paper" usually used to wrap presents inside a nice box before we close the box and wrap it in fancy wrapping paper to give for a gift. Which one of these are you using? I'm guessing it's paper towels because it has little equidistant pucker marks on it. Thank you for this video. I'm gathering up some granulating colors to try painting rocks now.
Yes paper towels. In the UK we call it Kitchen Paper, but that confuses people in other countries!
Hi Michele, You are really fantastic! I watched several of your videos last night, and they were so helpful! I also see that my paper towels have a dot pattern that shows up in painting, so I need to get another brand, and also you showed how to crunch it up very well to get the best results. I'd like to ask you about the stretching process. If I use a watercolor block, perhaps I don't need to do the stretching? I know you say it's best, and I'm sure you're right, and decades ago when I took at class, I stretched or stapled. I can't quite remember. But my space is more limited now, and if I can simply use my watercolor blocks, it would be ideal. I've been taping my paper to the back of a rubber cutting mat, and that is not working. Lots of buckling! Thanks for your wonderful teaching! SAM
Oh, I see you, I'm watching the video again and you said paper towel.
I got excited, your painting rocks, I haven't done that in years! Click on video oh you're painting rocks on paper..."sighs" (still a good video)
Looking closer at the title, watercolor does not work well if at all on rocks.
Ah, yes, acrylics are better for painting actual rocks. I may make one of those in the future!
hahahaha, I thought you were going to paint pictures ON rocks!! 🤣🤣🤣
I had the same response to painting glass, it's really hard to word it so it makes sense!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
