Рет қаралды 32,071
11 ай бұрынIt's #worldwatercolormonth and I'm finally getting around to painting a prompt, #clutter. But it's also a great opportunity to go into more detail about how I paint a rocky texture from simple drips and spatter. Super easy.

It is a medical fact that as we age the more we are able to recognize patterns specifically shape patterns. That is encouraging news for those who might feel that drawing and painting can not be learned when we are older even quite old. I enjoy your spontaneous method and use tips that you have shared so generously to break up the monotony of challenging paintings and appreciate it very much. It also helps refresh my mind when going back to the same and I feel that it helps me become perhaps more aware of areas that I am working on to improve them. So thank you again Steve.

Hi Steve, I've watched almost all your wonderful videos and have enjoyed each and every one. But I'm so frustrated. Even though your tutorials are THE BEST on KZfaq in my opinion, I'm stuck figuring out getting rocks to look realistic. My values are correct and not too dark in comparison to my base color. Inspire of all the squinting and upside down looks at my work, I just can't get it right. Can you please do another tutorial on simply rocks? Love you Steve, kind regards, Wendy from Chilliwack BC💚

Here are some vids that might help in case you haven't seen them yet. Best approach is to just watch rocks being painted.

I absolutely loved watching those platters come to life in yet another way. I find it different to remember the difference between the initial splats and splatters to the beautiful mixture of tumbling rocks and surrounding scree. I am way too much a beginner to attempt the majority of your tutorials, but it doesn’t stop me watching with boggle eyes. I am one of your quiet watchers Steve, but I hit like and my bell is ready for your next video! Regards from Scotland where the weather is simply too warm for my Scottish blood right now. However, the warmth doesn’t stop our rain. I think you’d enjoy painting some of the natural woodland of the Highlands. Gnarly trunks seem to be a speciality. Much thanks for the time you give to your viewers. I will probably fall silent for another 3 years now! 🤷🏼♀️🎨🖌👩🏻🎨

Really cool spontaneous painting. Looks like a fun way to do a warm up painting where you don't have to think too hard about where you put all the elements. I didn't know arches ever made hardcover sketchbooks. I clicked on the link you put in the description and it didn't seem like a hardcover sketchbook anymore. I know this video was made 8 months ago, but did they maybe stop making them again? Just curious if you know anything about that.

I have an off topic useless question for you. What is the differece between watercolor and "tempera" paint? Not egg tempera, just "tempera" paint. I know it is much cheaper, and often used for kids art, but how is it different? My attempts to google it has resulted in vague definitions.
@mindofwatercolor 11 ай бұрын
Its most similar to gouache. But school tempera uses cheap dyes for color and chalk fillers for opacity. Artist quality gouache uses true lightfast pigments and few to no opacifiers depending on color.
@mindofwatercolor 11 ай бұрын
Today it’s more often called poster paint as opposed to tempera.
