I like your comical critique of yourself. My first painting I ever did was rocks. Who knew they were so hard but I liked how it came out. I surprised myself. Now I’m Trying to do a abstract landscape-yikes challenging
As a new starter to painting, I find your in-depth explanations of one part of a painting helps me more than watching an artist showing their style on a complete painting. Your way gives the groundwork needed to help create your own style. Thank you for your help.
@@ChrisKempter Thank you for the reply. I am trying to capture rocky outbreaks on a steep hillside. The colours (color) is predominantly white, grey and black streaks, similar to chalk with grass and small shrubs interposed. These steep hillsides are in the distance behind trees. Have you done anything similar to this in your tutorials? My attempt appears flat and no depth. 😶
Excellent tutorial! Please make more. I'm a 72 year old with lots of time on my hands. Got together with my "Rembrandt girlfriend" and am starting to do stuff I missed out in my childhood!
It was fun! I notice your style and by just listening your entusiasmo while I was painting it clicked right in. Using my own creativity and light direction will do the trick. Thanks
Thank you so much! What I learned here was highlights, mid tones and shadows. I am trying to paint these rocks at the base of a mountain on the edge of a lake and you gave me some great tips! Thank you!
Wow! You have such an amazingly wonderful personality! You make painting rocks so much fun, even though it’s not that easy! Great tutorial! Had a blast! Thank you so much! ❤👍
His personality does help things crackalate around nicely. Sometimes, with the best of intentions, artist tutorials can be arduous affairs on UA-cam--you can get near comatose on some I've watched!
Ur very funny to watch and I learned slot about sorry,,,too many rocks in my head,,,,lol...thanks man ur a funky Kool guy,I'm a self taught older guy love landscapes and rocks are sometimes easy for me sometimes diff so thanks,,,
Ok, the most important take away from this video, so important that I paused it to come comment, is your words about never giving up and pushing through to the end, even when something looks horrible. I started painting last week after decades of wanting to. I have been stuck on painting #4 for days now. I keep fiddling with this or that, become happy with something, screw it up, fix it, screw it up some more, fix again...but I haven't given up! I will conquer this inverted cereal box I've converted into my canvas. I will finish my snowy pond, and move on with my life! Thank you for this video. I needed rocks, and I needed to hear your words of encouragement. Subbed.
This video is awesome, you make watching a video so enjoyable! Also that gray rock, Rocks!!!! Also very helpful, I’m ready to paint some rocks, thank you!!!
great video on how to paint rocks. I have been working on a wall mural with some rocks and managed to get lost. Your video will help get me back on track. Thanks
Best ever explanation of painting rocks. You are young, yet complete pro. Another lesson I’ve learnt here is never to get rid of.the old palette. Thank you young master.
The round rock painting reminded me of The Creation of Adam. Also the use of the brown/grey colour in the other definitely worked. The colour gave the painting depth and composition. Great tutorial.
Thank you Very much for the Wonderful video Thank you very much and very interesting thank you for video video .sharing .. thanks for sharing..💯...💖💗💖💓 .. 💯 ...
Hi Chris, thank you for the lesson. I do like your methods including your editorials, keeping it light. I hope you continue to produce videos and show the less talented how to do something. I like, "You must never give up, you just keep painting".
This is my second time watching your videos, and both times you said you were adding texture but I couldn't see how or what you were doing. But you're a marvelous artist and teacher.
I can't tell if you are be satirical, but I'm working on a video that I actually explain how I put the texture on. So I'll try and be more specific lol.
Great video, I love your humor. You remind me of my son! I made it to edit this I didn’t realize you were wearing a Star Wars a shirt he’s a Star Wars freak so you really do remind me of my son your humor is exactly like his.
I picked this particular rock video bcos it was only 13mins long. So glad I did , got a laugh where I didn’t expect it! I feel I am going to see your nose in every damn rock drawing I do! As far as doing interesting rocks to finish your canvas … try checking a place called Mull in Scotland 🏴
Loved the rock video and I tried to follow with you but I got lost on the 2nd rock , hope you do more rock tutorials can you slow down and have the camera zoomed closer to the canvas?
Omg u crack me up, love ur personality...I'm learning hence me watching this, good info...I'm working on a seascape & went with colored pencils & a paint thinner but got stuck... happy with how the beach & sea color came out but I messed up my rocks, need to bring them forward so I'm gonna break out the paint... can I make a funny 🤣 ur first rock looked like a donut lol...but the second one was what I needed to see... thought I'd have to use a knife but u made it look really simple 👍 thank u
Hey bro this is amazing information and I say that because I can see your transparency is awesome and I struggle with the same shit but I laugh about it too I just change colors whenever and do whatever I want I have a blast thank you I could teach myself but I just ramble on. When I start my paintings they look like trash, but like u I fix it

Enjoyed watching your video. Working on a painting with rocks in it. Very helpful! "You Rock! Get it!
Hearing my HS art teacher in my head as I watch this "make your darks darker and your lights lighter!"
Yep! Good advice!
Chris…hou have a wonderful eye. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us.
This is one of the most helpful videos on painting realistic rocks. Thank you very much for this.
Thank you! I appreciate that!

Now, those are rocks ! Makes my rocks look like mere pebbles. Kidding aside, video was very, very helpful.
A well executed pebble will render my pathetic attempts at rocks to mere dust.
Nothing worth having comes easily. Only hard work and dedication.
Very nice , thanks for the share.
Glad you liked it!
