Hello Joe. Now I`ve learned how to paint rocks and stones in different ways, That was very helpful and I`m looking forward to the next videos. Greetings from Petra.
Here is a link to all the videos in my Beginner Watercolor Class playlist. After 14 I stopped numbering them as the sequence was already getting into more complex paintings.
OMG this is an amazing video. This is the best explanation I've had of form and shadow, and great rock techniques. I've seen some of the techniques before but never had them explained as well as this. I'm so happy your video popped up in my UA-cam recommendations, I will be following your channel from now on.
Well !! What can I say, Joe, as all the other comments have already expressed exactly how I feel too, about this amazing and brilliant tutorial video that you have so kindly given so much of your time to share with us. As many others have said….this is absolutely and without doubt THE BEST video tutorial with such clear explanations and techniques for painting rocks in their various forms. I came across your channel just a few days ago and am so pleased that I found you here on YT. Looking forward to watching all of your video / tutorials. I sincerely appreciate your teachings and thank you very much. 🤗🥳🤗
This has been the most encouraging, enlightening and most comprehensive rock watercolour painting video I’ve EVER seen on UA-cam. Over the years I’ve watched countless artist try to teach how to paint rocks and although their rocks were good they don’t compare to your teaching method. I feel now that I can paint rocks and have them look believable. Thank you so much for this fantastic video. It will definitely be saved in my library. I have also subscribed to your channel as I feel I can learn a lot from you!
Literally, the best information for painting rocks, all in one video! Thank you so much for such a comprehensive, relatable explanation and demonstration of painting one of nature's most significant components! My favorite video EVER ❤❤❤
Excellent descriptive video! I'm just drinking my first cup of coffee and your detailed drawings make me want to begin painting before the sun's even up 😁. Good job, please keep sharing your skills.
First time I’ve ever watched one of your videos. This was a great tutorial! Very “gneiss”. 😁I will be going back and trying each of these studies. I love painting rocks. The simplification of using two colors (mostly) really helps in seeing what is really changing in each technique.
Joe!! I thankgod for you at this moment!! And thankyou. I've finally mastered clouds, and water a little bit, but rocks...... Rocks have been the bane of my life for the last week! I was in a temper, I've watched so many videos and all of them left me feeling so frustrated! But this video is *chefs kiss* finally I think I will be able to paint them. Your tutorials are incredible, thankyou so much!! ❤️😁
Keep coming back to this video. So very useful.I have your book on light and I hope one day to make my work look as effortless as you do. Brilliant thank you.
This is the best tutorial I have found so far. I think you are a born teacher. I can’t wait to practice every technique you have demonstrated! I love your video, so easy to follow. Thank you.
Thank you so very much. You have demonstrated the absolutely most detailed techniques for painting rocks. No longer will my rocks be described as a pile of dog poop!
Thankyou so much sir. I start to learn watercolor painting and i think i am so lucky that i find your channel in my early days so i don't have to waste my time by wandering here and there and how to start. Once again thank you so much❤❤
I must say I am highly impressed. one of the most comprehensive presentations about a particular topic. I will make it a point to watch your videos on a regular basis. thanks a ton for sharing this.
Hi Joe, Your teaching style is wonderful. What I liked most is the use of few pigments and brushes, and a small very focused subject - rocks also only few pieces. As a learner, I could follow your demonstration so clearly. Many, many thanks. Best regards Azim Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Wonderful! Thank you, Joe! You said something that very much applies to the mistake I've been making, that when it starts to look like a believable rock, it's best to leave it alone. 😉 I'll try a few of these techniques out tonight. Happy to subscribe and looking forward to more from you! 🎨
I love your tutorials. I've been having trouble predicting-seeing where the shadows and reflections should be. The way you describe it is helping greatly. Thanks.
Wow, thank you so much Joe, so many different ways to do rocks, I'll have to do a lot more practicing oh and will have to hunt up an old credit card, fascinating technique. Wonderful lesson Joe, you are teaching us so much, Thank you again. :)
Hello there from deep down South africa Thanks a zillion for showing and Sharing with so much detail and in no hurry to beat any dead line Really opened up our horizons and gave us opportunities to simply excel Much appreciated LORD Bless ATB TC aRM
Another amazing tutorial, I am learning so much from your teaching. Just hope I can remember it all, shall have to revisit many times. Thank you so much.
Your video came up for the first time today and I wish I could do something to make sure everyone who is beginning watercolors sees it (I have definitely hit subscribe, like and hit notifications) because you are GREAT with instructions and examples!!! This is so clear, informative and most helpful, meaningful teaching I’ve ever found. Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing your talents and experience with us on UA-cam. Hopefully you will know how much it means to me (and I’m certain many others)! I can’t wait to try these now! I’m so excited that I have a good understanding finally. Please continue to teach… I am going back to watch everything I missed on your channel… Again, a HUGE thank you ❤ Sending blessings, Nancy Rolfe
Rocks, rocks and even more rocks !!! Very informative. Im wondering what the reason is behind you mixing french ultramarine with the burnt sienna ???. I know that you said that the blue dulls it down but wondering why another darker brown isnt used ????. I know that you will set me straight. I just never would have thought to add blue to burnt sienna . thank you. p.s. as you can tell Im not very good with colour theory. LOL
Glad you enjoyed the video. Burnt Sienna is an orange leaning brown, and as orange is the complementary colour to blue, when you mix it with French Ultramarine you can create a series of greys depending on how much of each you use. In fact, you can just about mix a pure black with them. Other orange leaning browns could also be used instead of Burnt Sienna.
@@JoeCartwright Oh !!!!! I understand now, thanks very much. Love your channel. Wish you lived in Sydney and close to me so I could come to art classes with you. !!!!!
@@lindy2164 Actually I do live in Sydney (Penrith actually)! But my classes are online so I have students from all around the country, and even overseas. :-)
Nice techniques. Think it would have been interesting to spray the final multicolored rock to make it more variegated. I will keep trying your techniques.
Hi Joe thanks for this tutorial, I tend to neglect details on rocks but some of your tips make it easier to paint them in a short period of time. I find selecting a strong light source to be helpful! -Darren
I don't paint as often as Id like...so buying a bottle of masking fluid is not justified....your tip of using candle as a masking medium is BRILLIANT...thank you for this amazing video 🙏🏽
Hello Joe. Now I`ve learned how to paint rocks and stones in different ways, That was very helpful and I`m looking forward to the next videos. Greetings from Petra.
I hope you enjoy them as much.
Very comprehensive. I don't think I need to watch any more rock videos. This is it. Thanks a bunch!
Awesome, thank you!
That is the best instructional video EVER on rocks...a tough challenge for me. I'm bookmarking this...thank you~!💞💞🎨🎨👨🎨
You are so welcome!
Brilliant! Is there a class#14, I have watched all 13 classes and wonder which video to watch next?
Here is a link to all the videos in my Beginner Watercolor Class playlist. After 14 I stopped numbering them as the sequence was already getting into more complex paintings.
Joe, you are an amazing teacher. Thank you for this lesson. I've been struggling with making rocks look natural. You make it all make sense!
Happy to help! I enjoying working out how to explain things as simply as possible.
The most informative tutorial on rocks! Thank you
Wow, thanks! Glad it was helpful.
