Glad it was helpful! I have just loaded a new video that incorporates it into a full painting, with credit card rocks at the back and closer rocks painted more traditionally
So glad you got a new nugget of gold from it. I usually explain the same when I demo big white gum tree trunks, if in shadow the top side of the branch is generally bluish (pale cerulean) and the lower side will be warmer and yellower because it is reflecting the ground. Happy painting
You are quite amazing!!, I have never seen this technique. I have read some of the comments and someone said that this is taught by everyone, as I said, I have never seen it, I must be living under a rock!. ❤
Thank you Consuelo, lucky for me I didn't claim it was my own original technique! It has been around many many years. I just actually watched a different video yesterday that popped up in my side bar about scraping out but it was a totally different technique just scraping a highlight out along the top edges. Many ways and many colour choices.
once you get the texture of the paint right ie thick enough, it is such a simple technique for rocks. There is another video with a rocky waterscene which might be of interest - th-cam.com/video/wte4x9ykVno/w-d-xo.html
I have been attempting to learn watercolor on my own for about a year or two. I loved the tutorial on various values & tones of grasses. I loved the finished work, and seeing it unfold was phenomenal. I have physical issues. Going out to a class isn't possible. So finding your videos is a gift. So greatful.
I'm so glad it was helpful! There is so much inspiration on You Tube and workshops via zoom that I hope can help you without having to go out for lessons.
Cheryl, this is one of the best watercolour tutorials I have ever come across and it has been a tremendous inspiration for me. and very generous of you to share these techniques. I have duly subscribed to your channel. Many thanks indeed
You are so welcome! I hope you are happier with your rocks now, Donna. No way you should feel stupid though, rocks are trick and of course come in so many shapes and sizes that there is no one size fits all approach.
OMG! Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I love the way you created these rocks! You make it look so simple, yet it looks like it might have been a complicated, skilled process. Love it!❤️
@@cherylbrucecreativ how could I not! :) Just came back to try it. Starting right now. I'm very happy I happened to stumble upon this tutorial. You explained everything real good.
I am very grateful for your generosity sharing this video. I cannot wait to try this technique. It is quite creative and helpful without detracting from the mystery and magic of watercolours…Thank you
Thank you. This was very helpful. I have used the credit card method of scraping before, but only using heavy pigment on wet paper. I like how you underpaint the wet colors first, which creates even more interest as the heavier pigment on top is scraped away. Thanks for showing how you use the little blade brush as well. I have had one of those for a few years and never really thought how to use it.
This technique is used by spray paint artists as well. Never thought you can use the same technique in watercolor with wonderful results. I am new to watercolor.🎉😊
Yes, you are right I have seen some street artists with layers of spray paint scraping out. With watercolour probably similar in that you need to get the paint thickish in the layer to be able to have something to scrape back. I hope you have fun trying it.
I hope that you give it a try, there is also a more recent painting video with this same technique using a reference photo rather than just random rock shapes.
Thank you for the tutoring of painting rocks which has always been a but of a disaster after painting a seascape or rocky hills. I feel confident now and will be doing more seascapes and while rocky mountains. Happy days. 😊 B Australia
It is me when I was younger , didn't want to scare people , also I am enjoying watching your tutorials ,great stuff ,and I am appreciating the instruction as I am new to watercolour. Enjoyed your company on the Lady Nelson and all the other Ladies too. I subscribed 😁
WOW!!! That is an amazing way to get rocks. I like to paint landscapes, but rocks have been a real mystery to get looking close to real. Yours look like you sent hours. Thank you so much.
This is so cool! I would have never thought to do this … and I paint rocks all the time. (Also bricks). Buildings here are either brick or formstone. This helps save a good bit of time & it looks great. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. 😊
Thank you so much for this Cheryl, this was such a great tutorial. Im still trying it out, but love the concept. btw you're the first artist I've heard mention Australian Grey... I find it indispensable
It is such a handy colour isn't it - I love the touch of opacity to it - like Naples Yellow or Lavender but more neutral. Thanks for your comment and I am glad you like the technique.
Great video I have had problems with rock. This technique could easily be adapter to oil, and in my case I enjoy panting on arches oil paper so even better. Got my subscription.
I have seen other artist use a plastic card as a technique and I think it’s a great idea. Your tutorial was very good.
Glad it was helpful! I have just loaded a new video that incorporates it into a full painting, with credit card rocks at the back and closer rocks painted more traditionally
I have taken countless watercolor classes and workshops, but no one has taught this technique, which is wonderfully clever. Thanks so much!
so glad I was able to share something new!
Everybody teaches it. I learned it years ago.
Learn from Grahame Booth and Oliver Pyle also - Two of the best.
very well known method. Quite spectacular.
I have no formal painting experience but watching the rocks emerge is magic. Thanks
It can be surprising!
You are the boss. ❤❤
Thanks for the explanation of colors (blue on top because of sky)! Excellent tutorial👍🏻👍🏻

Love the colours and effect created with the card I will definitely try this technique ❤
I hope you enjoy trying this technique

Strange way to paint watercolor rocks but it works quite well 👀👍🏻 The realism obtained is just stunning 👏🏻 Thanks for the credit card tip 😊
It is strange, I agree, but once it dries it looks quite effective with very little effort required.

Excellent instruction and techniques for painting natural looking rocks! 👍
One of the best videos about sketching and painting perfect rocks. Thanks !
Glad it was helpful! It’s such a simple technique once you get the thicknesses if the pigment right.
I've been painting rocky beaches for the last few months, but haven't come across this technique. It looks great!

Hello Kaz from Australia!
I have been feeling stupid because I can’t do rocks. Thank you for explaining how it’s done. Amazing! I can’t wait to try this technique ❤
You are so welcome! I hope you are happier with your rocks now, Donna. No way you should feel stupid though, rocks are trick and of course come in so many shapes and sizes that there is no one size fits all approach.
Nice tutorial. I like the use of the credit card.

I hope you have had a chance to try it?
I have never wanted to paint rocks so bad!! this was amazing! thanks!
I'm so excited to hear that! I'd love to see what you create.

Amazing technique, I never came across such awesome and easy technique. Thank you so much for sharing..
Blessings!
Glad it was helpful! I hope that you give it a try
Excellent !!! Well done Charyl...
This is awesome! I'm gonna use this tomorrow when my 300 lb paper arrives. Hope I can lift it.
Can't wait to hear how it goes. Remember thick pigment in the top layer!
😂 Cute! 300 lb cold press paper is heavy. A fine substitute for the bench press. 🏋♂️
Pfft, never would've guessed how it was made, like in million years. Wow. Thanks. Awesome technique.
I hope you give it a try, it is good fun

Absolutely brilliant, thankyou x

Love this technigue!
Fantastic thank you
I love this and just subscribed 💕
thank you
Awesome, thank you.
Great video I have had problems with rock. This technique could easily be adapter to oil, and in my case I enjoy panting on arches oil paper so even better. Got my subscription.
I will be interested to hear how it works with oil paint. I think you are right that it might work well when painting on paper more so than canvas.
Those are my favourite pencils.
Great job,love your colors
Amazing.. 😇🖌🪄
