I came across you tonight and I too don't do gaming... I'm a 68 yo female but I have a Christmas Village and all the accessories are so expensive so I thought I would make my own and I found you. Thanks so much and your stone work is so realistic.
Dude, I'm not even into table top games and I love your channel. I'm an art teacher that was so inspired by your videos that I have started rewriting my curriculum to include more crafting and diorama making. Thanks!
That's so cool, I am a student myself studying art but also homeschool 3 kiddos and we have played fart quest with the 5 and 11 year old. But also would love to do more diorama making.

Great video as always! My 8 year old son watched this with me and said "now i want to watch all his videos". Oh and my son (Nolan) told me to add "Hi. You're the best. I want to be an artist when i grow up."
Hi Nolan 👋 Yup, solid advice is to practice art but learn a trade. They each offer valuable overlap of skill but one is much more reliable as far as work goes. Cheers
Yes....i too went to art school..... lol.(sigh) Thank you both for the kind words. He will be really excited to see you responded. Thanks for taking the time!
I absolutely cannot stand how much time this video takes away from my other stuff, because I think I've watched it about 6 times. This is by FAR one of the best stone detailing and painting videos, and I have learned lots from it. I need to watch it again next time until my techniques are down. Thank you so much BMC! dang I have to change my YT name to match my twitch and IG!
I have only recently started crafting (and DM'ing), so I have watched a ton of videos in a very short time. I feel like the crafting DM community has graduated from the basics and now we're getting into some very sophisticated techniques. This brick technique is perhaps the most sophisticated example of brick I've seen so far, and shows how just putting in a bit more work can go dramatically further in enhancing the realism of your work. And the end results are stunning! I am definitely going to put this to use in my brickwork, and see if I can figure out how to adapt it to my stone slabs, too. Really sensational tutorial!
I'm a nail tech and I have been getting into doing more intricate art on my nails for my clients and this is going to be perfect I just did a nail using your technique. I used some solid nail glue to make my own bricks. And use a different video to make the bricks and the texture but when it came to painting I used this with my gel nail polish, it works really good it didn't come out as realistic as yours because I had to make my own bricks. When I went into color the different bricks and you said leave 40 to 50% the base color I did that and it made all the difference
I’m a railway modeller in the Uk. And looking to do some sand stone, as seen at Waverley station in Edinburgh, Scotland. You’ve given me so top tips! Thanks. Dave
That was basically the only critique I ever had on your earlier projects where the masonry looked like something from Dark Souls but not perse real life. As a painter I just use whatever acrylic I have on hand (although model paint would be the best choice) and I gotten used to mixing various colors for my stones. And ofcourse looking at a lot of references online helps! This video is great and I hope you have many more to come! I especially love your videos about making monsterfigurines and I can't wait for the next one!
Wow! Fairly new to all this. I thought the black gray and white was all there was to it. But you demonstrated the artful perfection of the multitone muted colors effect. Its perfect! Thankyou for your tutorials!!!
So glad I found your channel. I'm a veteran crafter but a novice at table top game terrain! You have some of the best tutorials and advice for beginners on RUclips! You've definitely made a subscriber and patron out of me. Keep up the great work my man!
Thank you for this video I am working on a piece of stone and I did the lazy way (Grey, Lighter grey dry brush) and your right it looks boring and uninspired. I plane to take the information you provided and kick up my stone work! Thank you thank you
I just taught my cousin this technique yesterday. I had to show him as he's french and didn't quite understand all the subtleties. I just built my first bridge myself and I'll send you a pic offline.
Hi Jeremy, first i wanted to thank you for sparking back an interest in model building. I used to do this this in high school, but gave it up for a bit. Ive been following for under a year now and hope to one day soon at least become part of your patreon subscribers. *Love the black paint/mod podge mixture. Has saved a ton of my projects. Its funny that i happen to come across this video today as I'm starting to paint an Old West store front. I was thinking that the grey scale would fall a little flat (or at least look like most my simple paint jobs) and wanted to get a different scheme as things would be a little more dusty than inside a cave. Cant wait to try this out.
Excellent basic video. I really liked that you talked about getting out of the comfort zone. It's the only way I've ever been able to grow my skill because I learn something even if it doesn't work.
Peeeerfect. The best way to do realistic walls, is to watch pictures and pictures, real walls and more real walls, and pay much attention to them. But I feel that at the end of the day, the result will be like yours. I feel its very accurate.
Thank you for this vid. the timing was perfect....coming home tonight from work staring at 4 buildings in a medieval village build, everything was painted except the stone blocks....I'm thinking 'I need to do something special with these...hmm.. let me go on youtube and get some inspiration'....I luv it. Trying this method out directly :D
Great tutorial - i'm making a faux 'heavily weathered' stone boss [a 'chiselled' sheild motif that's supposed to have fallen from the buildings facade]. The piece I'm making the mold of, was naturally weathered but I think it may all be lost when I de-mold. [should have taken pics, I know]. Your little video came to me at just the right time - I'm well passed the 3/grey effect, and your techniques are good source material saving me some trial and error. Cheers my friend, and success to your channel.
"Just a wall of bricks" I thought. But a really awesome one! Found it, by searching for your video how to weathering bricks/stones ... and couldn´t end to watch it until it was finished. :)
Two Thin Coats! I love painting my stone off color, I have a bunch of stone terrain sets (tiles, walls, castles, houses), and I've painted them all different shades of brown, tan, and even sometimes green. Thanks for showing your take on this!
Thanks for the 'new' brick coloring. I was thinking of using the techniques that you used on the gallows for bricks as well for wood, but this seems about the same idea and looks much better than just the modpodge, grey, white scheme .
The the principal is the same really dont paint things the "obvious" but unrealistic colour....don't paint wood dark brown and don't paint stones with a grey that has no colour undertones. Both should be a variety of shades and tones.
I don't know if you're still checking comments on this video, but I'm a new subscriber and I love your channel! I'm not working with foam, I have sensory issues with it, but I was thrilled with the Egg Carton bricks so I'm using that technique to make a Castle Tower style dice tower out of a pringles can. I've finished applying my stones and doing a base coat, and I was wondering - have you or any of the viewers here ever tried this painting technique but with not so natural colors? Like how does it look if you use colors like teals and purples and pinks? I would love to see if anyone has any examples like that!
This is so unbelievably helpful. I do minitures I done a practise run with painting brick work and it looked so cartoonish I will definitely be using these tips and hope I can do as much justice as you have.
I used this to paint some custom bricks for a miniature base, and this worked amazingly! I was shocked by how much better it looked, after just the first coat of tan paint
dear god, this is just epic, i've been bingewatching these vids lately... i've always been a fan of dark fantasy so these builds really fit my style and dear god that detail 0.o saddly i suck at the detailing and painting stuff, (having aphantasia doesn't help there) but i'm pretty good at crafts, luckily i have a friend that sucks at the crafty parts but is really good at the artsy parts, so i'ma just link him these vids and together we'll make 1 fine arts and crafts team :3
Great video. I paint mine in a very similar way, however, I also add a touch of some bright colour in the washes stage, a purple or crimson here and there. It does not stand out, but leaves a nice subtle variation.
I’ve been doing the black and white technique for a while and never bothered to look in to how to make it look more realistic but I’ll have to try this technique for my diorama and toy photography
Tried to do this same effect on your pillars but all the subtleties were lost in the wash. Seeing how "cartoony" it has to be for it to show up afterwards really helps. Thank you for this video, as simple as it is. My next pillars I'm sure will be majestic.
Great video! Love seeing the individual steps AND especially what the wall looks like up close after each step. That’s super helpful. I will definitely be trying this. Thanks.
Just had a random thought watching this as Ive just been watching a pottery video before. Could you do this stuff using clay? I just think I'd like the heavier feel, and honestly I'm not a gamer, I just like the pieces for display, so clay or some other material I've not thought of just seems better for display pieces. I'm asking this as someone who has never even attempted doing this kind of thing by the way, I'm talentless lol. I'm always left in awe by the skills of people like yourself.
So going to bing out of the comfort zone had a thought on you dungeon tiles what if instead of doing a normal stone. How do you think of doing a while base with a royal blue design of some kind ? Maybe like a marble temple floor and ideas on how to pull it off?
Great video! Yes, it's quite amazing how many colors you find in rocks if you take the time to look. Ive taken to using at least 5-6 colors in my stone work, playing with value and temperature to get the result wanted. Keep up the good work!

I love this. I hope I'm still as creative as you when I grow up. "The creative adult is the child that survived."

Oh and my son (Nolan) told me to add "Hi. You're the best. I want to be an artist when i grow up."
Convince him he can be an artist AND a tradesman at the same time. Art school was not a good investment for me haha
Hi Nolan 👋
Yup, solid advice is to practice art but learn a trade. They each offer valuable overlap of skill but one is much more reliable as far as work goes. Cheers
Yes....i too went to art school..... lol.(sigh)

Brilliant stuff. Short, sharp, and to the point. Makes me wonder, who are those 70 guys that did NOT like this...
I'm a nail tech and I have been getting into doing more intricate art on my nails for my clients and this is going to be perfect I just did a nail using your technique.

subtle color.. that's it, that's what I was missing. I knew grey/grey/lighter grey was lacking something but I didn't know what. Thanks!
This is very consistent with the philosophy of using a variety of brown to achieve a very realistic stone effect. Great job!
Just followed this identically on my action figure diorama using the exact same colors and it looks absolutely fantastic! The wash is the MVP!
Wow! Fairly new to all this. I thought the black gray and white was all there was to it. But you demonstrated the artful perfection of the multitone muted colors effect. Its perfect! Thankyou for your tutorials!!!
I found this very informative and helpful! Glad you showed me I can make some good quality terrain with my craftsmans paints.
Thank-you for this. I just started airbrushing and working on a few projects including some brick walls to go with those projects.
Barely finding your videos but you’ve helped me so much already being new to the hobby Thank you
So glad I found your channel. I'm a veteran crafter but a novice at table top game terrain! You have some of the best tutorials and advice for beginners on RUclips! You've definitely made a subscriber and patron out of me.
Keep up the great work my man!
man i love your vids. it’s made terrain building soooooo much easier and cheaper
Thank you for this video I am working on a piece of stone and I did the lazy way (Grey, Lighter grey dry brush) and your right it looks boring and uninspired. I plane to take the information you provided and kick up my stone work! Thank you thank you
Thanks for the dry brushing tutorial. I'm a newbie and was doing that step wrong, getting too much on my models :D
I just taught my cousin this technique yesterday. I had to show him as he's french and didn't quite understand all the subtleties. I just built my first bridge myself and I'll send you a pic offline.
The end result is awesome, I like it. I'll have to try it when I'm not feeling so lazy!
Hi Jeremy, first i wanted to thank you for sparking back an interest in model building. I used to do this this in high school, but gave it up for a bit. Ive been following for under a year now and hope to one day soon at least become part of your patreon subscribers.
*Love the black paint/mod podge mixture. Has saved a ton of my projects.

Excellent basic video. I really liked that you talked about getting out of the comfort zone. It's the only way I've ever been able to grow my skill because I learn something even if it doesn't work.
Nice job - that will work well on train layout scenery - thanks.
That is so cool. Ive never done anything like painting tabletop stuff. But i want to get into it. It looks so fun, i hope i can do it.
Never done stonework before until I got a martello tower for Black Seas. This tutorial helped me greatly.
Peeeerfect. The best way to do realistic walls, is to watch pictures and pictures, real walls and more real walls, and pay much attention to them. But I feel that at the end of the day, the result will be like yours. I feel its very accurate.
I dont play table top games but i started building terrain as a sort of therapy after watching your videos. thanks man
Sounds like a start to a model train or diorama making Hobby
Suddenly I see a new use for the thousands of interesting texture photos I've taken!!
Thank you! Video helped me bring my D&D board to a whole other level
Thank you for this vid. the timing was perfect....coming home tonight from work staring at 4 buildings in a medieval village build, everything was painted except the stone blocks....I'm thinking 'I need to do something special with these...hmm.. let me go on youtube and get some inspiration'....I luv it. Trying this method out directly :D
Not started crafting yet but beginning to think I can after watching many of your brilliant vids
You've really outdone yourself on this one. I never thought I would say this but, that is one fucking beautiful wall.
Great tutorial - i'm making a faux 'heavily weathered' stone boss [a 'chiselled' sheild motif that's supposed to have fallen from the buildings facade]. The piece I'm making the mold of, was naturally weathered but I think it may all be lost when I de-mold. [should have taken pics, I know].

After each step I thought hey that looks great then you did another step. Looks great walls foundations or anything stone. Well done Jerome
terrific video. REALLY liked the close ups showing the texture/color. very nice!
Thank you so much! This is a wonderful tutorial!! I am very excited with how my stone walls turned out!
Outstanding tutorial. I have a chi ton of Dragonlock tiles to paint and caught this video before starting paint. So helpful. Thank you!
I've come back to this vid several times. I think it's the best stone painting vid I've seen. Nice work, bud!
This was fabulous. Thank you so much for your easy directions!
thanks i have been off with the just grey tone paint now ill try this on my old broken keep that I have had for over 20 years
Many thanks for posting this video, great take-aways for use of Mod Podge, mult-colors for realistic stone works, and use of washes!
Increible video, me ha encantado. El material que realiza los ladrillos es poliestireno extruido, ¿o que material es?. Muchas gracias
Man, so glad I found your channel... I use your tips for my action figure dioramas
Thanks for sharing!! I want to use this technique on my HO-scaled module layout to paint the retaining walls from a bridge.
That is so awesome, plus it works out so well with the individual glued stones
Bonjour de la France et merci pour tes vidéos qui sont toujours super sympa
Thanks for the 'new' brick coloring. I was thinking of using the techniques that you used on the gallows for bricks
as well for wood, but this seems about the same idea and looks much better than just the modpodge, grey, white scheme .
The the principal is the same really dont paint things the "obvious" but unrealistic colour....don't paint wood dark brown and don't paint stones with a grey that has no colour undertones. Both should be a variety of shades and tones.
Incredibly helpful, just built my first diorama using you painting techniques and it looks great, thank you!

Dude, that's awesome! Going to start using your technique right now!
What a great idea with the green wash too! 😍
A fantastic technique, Jeremy. I think the bricks look stunning with or even without the black wash. :)
Love your video. I can not believe that I found a d&d crafting video. Great idea and love the amazon linking good thinking.
very well done and very well presented. Thank you, Sir.
I just followed your technique, it's incredible! Thanks!
Perfect. One of the most useful videos I've seen.
This is so unbelievably helpful. I do minitures I done a practise run with painting brick work and it looked so cartoonish I will definitely be using these tips and hope I can do as much justice as you have.
I used this to paint some custom bricks for a miniature base, and this worked amazingly! I was shocked by how much better it looked, after just the first coat of tan paint
Thank you for the tutorial!
This piece I'm working on will go well with my Kool-aid man figurine
dear god, this is just epic, i've been bingewatching these vids lately... i've always been a fan of dark fantasy so these builds really fit my style and dear god that detail 0.o
saddly i suck at the detailing and painting stuff, (having aphantasia doesn't help there) but i'm pretty good at crafts, luckily i have a friend that sucks at the crafty parts but is really good at the artsy parts, so i'ma just link him these vids and together we'll make 1 fine arts and crafts team :3
I like how you are using a little Vlog filming into your videos. it's a nice touch.
Great video. I paint mine in a very similar way, however, I also add a touch of some bright colour in the washes stage, a purple or crimson here and there. It does not stand out, but leaves a nice subtle variation.
Do you have a video where you build a wall like that? Is it just bricks glued together or is it backed with chipboard or something?
Best video on this yet, thank you soooo much!!
I’m not even interested in your hobby but enjoyed the video, that wall looks real !
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for putting so much content out there for us, your channel is the reason i got into crafting. Cheers mate 🍻
I’ve been doing the black and white technique for a while and never bothered to look in to how to make it look more realistic but I’ll have to try this technique for my diorama and toy photography
Im paining a Gargoyle miniature and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Nice job. The bricks of different colors blended well with the others by the time you finished. I would love to know how you made the brick wall.
Love this video been using it every time I need to do stone
Thank you for sharing!! Great tutorial.
i got a prject planned for a keep with modular walls and a tower or two. i might try this for it.
Nice close up video. Very realistic brick work.
The textures and highlights look sooo good. Helpful as always, thanks.
Tried to do this same effect on your pillars but all the subtleties were lost in the wash. Seeing how "cartoony" it has to be for it to show up afterwards really helps.
Thank you for this video, as simple as it is. My next pillars I'm sure will be majestic.
Great video! Love seeing the individual steps AND especially what the wall looks like up close after each step. That’s super helpful. I will definitely be trying this. Thanks.
Looks great. I am going ro try this.
That paint work looks absolutely gorgeous. I will have to give this technique a try some time.
Absolutely love this painting video!!
Just had a random thought watching this as Ive just been watching a pottery video before. Could you do this stuff using clay? I just think I'd like the heavier feel, and honestly I'm not a gamer, I just like the pieces for display, so clay or some other material I've not thought of just seems better for display pieces. I'm asking this as someone who has never even attempted doing this kind of thing by the way, I'm talentless lol. I'm always left in awe by the skills of people like yourself.
Great video! I just discovered you and look forward to seeing more content.
Great Stuff Buddy ! Very Professional Camera work too. Best Wishes From London 👍👍👍
So going to bing out of the comfort zone had a thought on you dungeon tiles what if instead of doing a normal stone. How do you think of doing a while base with a royal blue design of some kind ? Maybe like a marble temple floor and ideas on how to pull it off?
Nice video and great tips for wall painting!
Great video! Yes, it's quite amazing how many colors you find in rocks if you take the time to look. Ive taken to using at least 5-6 colors in my stone work, playing with value and temperature to get the result wanted. Keep up the good work!
Super clean man great video great result i will be following these steps!
Brilliant tutorial, thanks a million.
very nice work and colours,i will try your method on my medi-evil house ,model i printed
hello, for an outside stone wall, what should i do for best coating+painting for sustain the paint for years?
Color Blind guy here following all the steps lol. Thanks dude!
I'm no connoisseur, but I think your stonework might be the best on here. All best.
Thanks. I leant a lot from this vid.
What about using the ink color of chalk paint in place of Mod Podge used for the undercoating?
Love it 👏🏼will definitely apply in my art work
