  • It'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 RUclips 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💚

    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! 🤷🏼‍♀️🎨🖌👩🏻‍🎨

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  Год назад +1

      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.
