So much thanks to you, my mom thought I wouldn’t make a good life by drawing but because of you, I proved her wrong and she supports me!😊😊
Great job!, I had to prove it to my dad too. I didn't recognize the email address. Were yu a Snow College student?
This is more than a lesson in painting rocks: it is a lesson in brush handling, values placement, edge control and color unity. Man, I LOVE your videos! Thank you!!
Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you appreciate the thinking behind the videos. Sharing is so much fun.
@CarlPurcellArt Once I master the Creating Values course on Vimeo, I plan on doing many more of them and, hopefully, one of these days, doing some workshops with you. By the way, my friend, Don Andrews says 'hi' and he speaks very highly of you. I feel soooo lucky to have found you!!!!
That wet line and paper towel thing is a game changer! I will be exploring this.
I'm glad it was helpful. Happy painting.
Thank you Carl, excellent demonstration, love your style!
Glad you enjoyed it It is a pleasure to share.
Mr Purcell! Your painting style is amazing!
I love to watch it. Please post more videos of your work. You are true artist!
Thank you Monika. I appreciate your comment.
Great video, Carl. You are a master with that square brush...wow! Thank you!
You are very welcome, and thank you for the comment.
Thank you for providing these great videos. Your presentation set up is particularly beneficial. Being able to see the picture in picture of the palette is so helpful. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment.
Love the way you paint rocks. LOVE your natural hair!
Thank you so much! Now I have to change the photo on google.
Thank you. I love rocks too They ROCK!
Thank you. And you are right, they really rock!
"It's a mistake to define everything clearly, that's not the way we see". Wow! Major light bulb went off in my head!....Well....maybe more like a supernova.
Your response really touched me. Some things only become obvious when we finally see them. Right?
Nice piece Carl. Inspirational and motivational. Thank you for making this video. I love it.
Thank you very much, Rene. I will be doing a number more.
Thank you for your videos! Your style is so beautiful. I love all of the colors. I don't know if it's possible, but seeing an inset of the inspirational photo or sketch as you paint would be really interesting too - to see where the lights and darks are in the image as you paint.
You are so welcome! Usually in the scene there is a seed or idea for the darks. I prefer to work from the drawing I do of the scene or subject. In the drawing I work out what the darks will do in the composition. I normally do not refer to the photo or look up once I have begun because the drawing is my guide. The actual scene provides some details at the end.
I have derived so much pleasure from your work for so many many years and loved your books. Its a treasure to have an educator of watercolour painting such as you ! Thank you Carl - Best wishes and happy painting for many years to come 🙏
Wow, thank you! Anyone who is brave enough to tackle watercolor certainly has my blessing. I am still learning. What a trip.
@@CarlPurcellArt Watercolour is a never ending apprenticeship with stimulating revelations all along the way 🙏
Thank you very for your demo. I learned a lot from you. Happy new year !
Thank you very much. Happy New Year.

Beautifully painted
Many many thanks
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
A master at work 👍🏻
Thanks. And I am still a student, and enjoying the learning till the end. Cheers.
Nice painting rock
Thank you very much.
Glad I came across this. Very helpful. "Deliberate strokes...no tinkering" is my downfall. So much to assimilate. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!. Just remember that. you are painting a painting, not a fence, so the strokes are a major part of it.
Hey Carl,,,,love the light!
Thanks, Don. So good to hear from you. I hope you and Martha are doing well.
Thank you so much sir
These are so helpful
Glad to hear that. My intention is to share what has helped me.
greats job. your are very talented
Thank you! Cheers! I do appreciate that.
Very nice. Thank you.
You
re very welcome. Thanks for watching.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍
Thank you.
It helps to see the reference photo while you are painting.
Let me know anything that helps you. Thanks.
Thanks
My pleasure.
Thank you very much for your great demos. What brand of watercolors do you use? If it can be known
Primarily Daniel Smith Finest. However I do use Horizon Blue from Holbein.
Love the painting, technique and colors. Very helpful. Only complaint is camera angles. Sometimes we can’t see what you’re doing on the left side of the screen and then there’s 10 seconds of the back of your head. Nitpicking here.
Just learning a new medium. My first paintings were just as bad. Thanks.
Beautiful! What colors did you use
Quinacridone Sienna, Transparent Pyrol Orange and Ultramarine Blue, and Sap Green.
Change in plane, change in value?
Certainly. The plane facing the light source most directly will be the lightest, the one receiving the light obliquely will be darker, and the one facing away from the light will be even darer. Within each plane there will be variations, but the broader division is the most important.
Great tutorial and your finished painting turned out fine. BUT. The light in your reference image is actually coming from the top left, not right. This can be made clear by looking at the shadow on the smaller rock in the bottom-right foreground. This is, perhaps, why your initial sketch seems to not have that far plane of the boulder in proper value, because you were, correctly, drawing what you saw, not what you thought you saw.
Thanks. I seldom use the reference photo as is. I prefer that it serve more as a springboard.
