Realistic Rocks - How do you paint them?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- It's no secret that rocks are hard to paint. All those tiny textures, cracks, and shapes can be hard to manage within a painting. Over the years I've come to realize though that there really are no secrets to getting outstanding looking rocks. Whatever style or technique you like to use, the bottom line is that in general they simply take a lot time to do. Learning to not cut corners and do them correctly, all while being patient, I think is one of the keys to a great looking rock. So hopefully I can shed some light on this subject for you in this video and that you'll feel a little more confident when tackling the rocks in your next painting.

COLOR MIXTURES:
- The highlights of the rocks were mixed with some white and a touch of orange, sometimes a touch of red as well.
- The shaded side of the rocks (dark brown) was mixed with black and white to produce a gray. Then I added some red and orange to colorize it a bit.
- The dark shadows were mainly just black and red, sometimes a touch of white.
- The shaded part of the snow was white, black, and a touch of magenta. The highlighted snow was just white and a bit of yellow.
Thanks for watching! (:
For those of you wondering, my wrist is doing better. Doctor could never figure out what exactly is going on even after an MRI. So anyways not a huge deal, but that's why I'm still icing and wearing the brace. I cracked up when I was editing and realized how obnoxious the ice pack was lol .. Thanks all for watching!!
You are truly amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent. Here's an idea for your wrist. Try using a warm wax dip. Hand wax dipping heats your bones. You can purchase at Walmart, beauty supply store, or on line. I also use aspirin cream. Best of luck to you. Hugs
Look up the work of Dr. Howard Schubiner concerning your wrist. You might find the information interesting. Take care and keep up the great work.
Glad it’s not too debilitating. Monet had cataracts, Beethoven went deaf. So you’re in good company
Chuck, somewhere along the way, I missed exactly what happened to your wrist. If it was on some of that social media stuff...well...you know I don't do any of that. Just wanted to say, You take care of that, man...whatever it is.
Omggg ur just the best of the best i love love love everything u do ...ur amazing and generous ....hope u the best ...
You’re a wizard. Truly unbelievable skill.
-Yer a wizard, Chuck.
-A what?
Your art is crazy good, like its actually inexplicable
Ah so amazing how you explain your whole thought process behind each stroke - love it! This is how all artists should teach!
OMG you used so many layers for these rocks...at the end looks so realistic!!! I couldn't distinguish what is painted....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This helps me refine my technique so much!
The shadow from the horn on the most prominent ram is 🤯 on top of everything else!
“Rocking it” as usual. Love it! Your work really helps keep me motivated and pushing to strive to be better with my art. Thanks for sharing.
You inspire me, that you can can create literal MASTERPIECES just by using acrylics. You are so talented and deserve more subs. I look forward to more of your great content!
I have spent the last few days searching for rock tutorials, with no success until this moment! Thank you so much for sharing your skills and talent! Amazing!
I think TH-cam doesn't like me not painting rocks, because it suggested this video for the 3rd time now.
Watching it with pleasure every time though. :)
You truly play a big part in my art, thank you so much! I can’t wait to use some of these techniques in my own!😊❤️❤️
Great Chuck! Patience is key! I agree takes a long time to build realism in any form of art. 👌🙏
Super helpful! I love you explaining details, ie.leaves, water ripples, bark, etc.
Another amazing tutorial/walk through. It's always so satisfying watching you paint and turn blobs of colour from blocking in into beautiful and realistic nature. I used to never block in my paintings and just rendered as I went which was waaaaaay too hard. Blocking things in has changed my paintings dramatically over the years. I'm so glad you stressed that lol, Keep it up!
Chuck, I appreciate you doing this in time lapse mode. It helps me see the creation of your painting without taking all day to view it. Your work is great. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Love to hear that, Laura. Thanks for the feedback!! Always appreciate it and it's always my pleasure
Thank you. Great demo.
Once again thank you very much for sharing your wonderful skills. I am watching it again.
Your paintings are absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing some advice on how you make them!
I do not know how to characterize your brain...You are a magician with a brush...I like your drawing style...I'm your fan and You're my drawing teacher:);)Thanks for all the videos:)
BRILLIANT, EXCELLENT WORK - WHAT AN ARTIST - JUST BEYOND WITH DETAIL
Thanks for sharing .chuck! Can't wait to see next video
You are insanely talented I just can't wrap the head around how skilled you are 🤯
You are such an amazing artist, the dexterity with which you do this paintings is mesmerizing. I am an artist too but watching you paint makes me think I have a lot more to learn. Thanks for sharing this video.
Fantastic level of finish on your work. Tremendous atmospheric perspective and depth. Bravo

Really beautiful and believable rocks!
Thank you for this video and love how you explained everything making it easier to understand. U r extremely gifted.
Wonderful tutorial! I love your teaching technique. Very helpful! I have always had difficulty with making rocks look the way they should. This is great! Thank you!
Thank you for the lesson and for the great advice. :D I will be praying for healing for your wrist.
Wow. What talent and great hard work! Thank you for the very good tutorial! Off to apply the pointers now!
I’m new to painting detail on rocks so your video really help me thank you.
Simply wonderful !!!
Thank you Chuck. I watched this a few months ago and this was too advanced for me and still is. However, this gives a long-term painting goal. I am practicing in between step 1 and step 2. Very inspirational
I use a quick drying Acrylics for fast drying like you, but I use the Golden Open acrylics, as they are slow drying with a texture similar to oils.
Chuck! That was amazing. Such intricate details in a cliff! Now I know why I have struggled in the past, but no more thanks to this video. I will take my abstract / pallet knife cliffs and turn them into realistic and majestic rock formations. Thank you so much for sharing your talent here. God bless!
Wow, I simply love your paintings. Thank you for sharing these tips 🙏🏼 ❤
I just have one word: WOW!!! ( okay it's not really a word :) Thanks for sharing!
Truly amazing. Thanks for sharing.
You are a great artist and teacher. Thank you
Best rocks I've seen, and I've watched a LOT of videos on rock painting. Thanks you. I also like the idea of spending detail time on them rather than the wham bam thank you ma'am type of approach.
Thank you for this video. You are a Rock God. Thank you for showing all the tiny details you do to a painting instead of editing that part out. It really helps to get the idea of how to achieve the realistic look: elbow grease! Well...no time to chat, must paint dots...
You are so gifted. Thank you for sharing your talent with us who are learning to be better....🌺🌺
Woww...Everytime you just surprised us.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing. I learned a lot
I really enjoy your videos!! I’m using them to help me get back into painting again!! Thanks Chuck!!!
You are a born artist. Your dedication is applaudable .thanks
Magnificent, Chuck!!! Much Thanks for yet another FAB tutorial!!! 😄
Seconds after watching you adding the highlights, as if by magic, a goat appeared on the rocks! Beautiful rocks of the Rockie mountains.
Amazing photo realism I love it! Looks like you painted a window into another world!
So realistic and heart touching painting
You have amazing patience for this. Geez. Bravo to you.
You’re the best landscape artist I’ve seen
Super Sal Your profile pic LMFAO
Amazing talent. Thanks
Olá... só posso te falar que és espetacular!!!! Sou tua fã! Obrigada pela generosidade em compartilhar o teu conhecimento. 🤗
I’m enjoying painting old brick walls and granite walls and slate walls. Just seem to be drawn to old buildings lived in things with hidden memories. I like the layering of colours and effects you get, like the look of moss and lichens etc., I’d love be enabled to do wet slate look.
Hi, just thought I'd write a little something even if you won't get to see it. I'm guessing you get tonnes of messages! I was attracted as much by the quality of your work as by your wrist brace. I love to paint, but I too have a wrist problem. The pain is getting worse and it was the most depressing thing to consider i might have to give up doing what i love. But seeing what you achieve with a wrist brace is very inspiring indeed. I thought it would be too restrictive, but obviously you cope remarkably well. You've given me the inspiration I needed to persevere. I hope your wrist is better now. Mine won't get better unfortunately, the best that can be done is an op to fuse the wrist in place so it won't move. I'm putting that off as long as possible, but you can only put up with so much pain! Best wishes from the UK :D
One of the all time greats
I love this video, the look you achieve. Thanks for this tutorial.
Oh finally this was so helpful🙏! I was struggling a lot with rocks. But now I just realised that I just have to spend more time on details 😀
Valla pintura mas bonita que has echo Chuck, tiene una profundidad extraordinaria y los animales paren que se van a salir del cuadro en cualquier momento. Gracias
Wow this is amazing..
The way you paint rock texture is ingenious!👍
Beautifully done loved it.
You're amazing... I wish I could paint like that

God bless you! Thank you for sharing your gift
Man, you have blown my head. My kudos, Chuck.
Amazing work as always, Chuck! Thank you for the lesson and for sharing your technique with us; I always learn so much. Hoping you find an answer about your wrist and that it heals.
i ncreible!!!!... He disfrutado viéndole pintar esta maravilla!! Gracias por compartir su obra. Saludos.

Awesome! ❤ i love this painting!
Looks great
Great work on rocks ! Your method easy to follow.
Wow sooo realistic, lovely painting!
Hi Chuck, thanks to a TH-cam suggestion I found your channel. That’s a crazy amount of work you put into those rocks but the outcome just blows me away. Hope I can achieve that level of skill one day. Subscribed and looking forward to watching your other videos
Wow beautiful
Amazing and so inspiring!
Well, That's Amazing+Great Sharp Skills.
Amazing artist, and an excellent instructor! I am so lucky I saw you on Pinterest. I used to paint with oils, unfortunately I developed an allergy to Lindsey oil. Watching you paint with acrylics first, motivated me to give it a try. Even if I have to complete with acrylics only. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.
It's incredible 😍!
Wow, that was a lot of work... excellent. Thanks for putting this up. I'm painting rock climbers and need to learn how to paint rocks.
Ty for giving me confidence that I could be the best artist:D and to keep trying
This is outstanding.
Oh Chuck, thank you so much for showing us to paint such realistic rocks despite of your wrist problem. I hope you won't need to wear the brace and icing anymore !! Hoping you'd feel perfectly well sooner than soonest !!
amazing work and thanks again for the video
WoW 😍 its just so "wow"
Muito bom, admiro muito o seu trabalho! vou continuar a ver seus videos e voltarei a pintar! Sucesso irmão!
Hi there, I enjoy your videos and your style of teaching
