Do you have a special brush for creating different textures? *Leave me a comment* , I would be interested to know. And, if you would like to learn more about creating different textures with watercolors, this would be a good video to watch next: *bit.ly/397KBI4*
So glad I watched this one Paul! Beautiful washes and details as usual. Ordered a W&N Cotman 00 brush. I usually use a variety of Princeton brushes preferring the velvettouch series because the finish on the handles feels amazing. Also they’re not expensive either. Was recently watching Steve’s channel The Mind of Watercolor and he said remember shadows sink. It was like a lightbulb went off and I saw loads of you doing this here so reinforced that learning. What a blessing you all are for us out here in UA-cam land.
I use a brush purchased in a pack from a local store (Michael’s) It’s blue handled and I’m not sure what size it actually is 😅 … somewhere between a 4 & 6.
I bought some Terry Harrison ProArte Masterstroke brushes years ago that are fun to use for landscape paintings. The dagger striper is great for painting tall grasses and palm trees. The fan brushes and deer foot stipplers make some nice texture too.
The transformation from shapes to realistic rocks was very satisfying to watch. I learned a lot about detail, not to mention how keeping the number of paints to 3-5 helps create color harmony in the overall composition. Great job!
Wow! I love to put rocks in my paintings … this is going to take them next level. And yeah, I mess up my brushes doing a bit of a light sideways scrub technique. I heart some texture. 😀 Great tutorial, thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial, it was absolutely great. I have learnt so much and can’t wait to have a go. You are an amazing teacher and explained every step along the way so clearly with some fun comments added in 😀
Hey man, Are you using the picture as a reference when you paint? or just when you are drawing? If you are using the picture as a reference when you paint, are you trying to make it look exactly like the picture or are you doing some of your own creative stuff mixed in too?
Hi, I do use the reference photograph, viewed on a tablet, all the time when I paint wildlife. When it's something like these rocks, I simply make them up as I go along. With wildlife, I do try to paint the subject as close to the photo as possible. Paul 🎨
