I've looked EVERYWHERE for tutorials on painting rocks in watercolor and then I came across this excellent video! Thanks so much for sharing this with us, Ken!
Wow! I’ve just discovered your channel !!! Thanks for showing so many great techniques !!! You are incredible !!!!! .. I’ve been working on textures in wood and bricks and stones , this video is perfect!
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!
Really great demonstration with explanation of how to make the rocks look so realistic. I really enjoyed your tutorial. It was just the right pace. Thank you.
Thank you, Have many pictures of pebbles from around this planet. I have learned so much from this. Thank you very much. Can’t wait to paint..........Thanks again Ken. Martin.
@@KenHobson You should.It's appropriate to do so.Those who want your expertise would be willing to pay for it.Thanks for sharing your skills n expertise.God bless you N the work of your hands N keep you safe N healthy♥️
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
Thank you so much - I'm attempting Pebbles in Photoshop but the tips here are just what I needed, especially the way you did the Scars on the rock - Brilliant !
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?
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!
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
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!
@@KenHobson wow, i hadn't even finished watching your helpful video! what brand of brushes? Can you suggest 'low' priced brushes for those who can't afford real sable? i.e. under $20. US? THANKS!
I LOVE this tutorial. It's one of the best rock painting videos I've since seen so far. Thank you so much for sharing. !
Thank you Olivia.

Hi Mr. Hobson,
I tried your tutorial. So cool! Thank you for posting. If we credit you, are we able to post our results on a learning facebook page?
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!
Ken, was the black marker you used acid free or does it no really matter?
Thanks so much!
Please tell us about your paint and brush being used before you start painting.
@@KenHobson what brush brand do you like best. I have spent a lot on brushes and are not that happy yet.
@@KenHobson thanks
Did you use rough paper to help with texture ?
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you Cathy Kat.
Great technique and commentary. Having seen the first rich decided on jacket potato tomorrow whilst trying to be half as good as you😉
please list your materials: brush, paint, paper. Thanks!
