 The Basic Technique of Oil Painting: Rocks and Boulders

Landscapes and Seascapes are greatly enhanced with simple details. In this video we walk the viewer through adding rocks to enhance a scene or make it the focal point of the painting.

I didn't know how much rocks and boulders there were in our landscapes until I started to paint them.  And wow, the various ways we can paint them, all of the colors and shapes.  Sometimes we don't see a single rock for acres upon acres.  Other time, there seems to be no end to the numbers in sight.

 

So we cover the fundamentals in this film.  You actually see one time of rocks I'll use in a riverbed or small stream in the Water DVDs.  This film continues the education by showing you how to paint beautiful rocks, tuck them into bushes, edges of the trees, or alongside of cascades and waterfalls, going so far as to cause the water to fall over the rocks and come smashing back upon the rocks.

 

This is an excellent video in which beginners can learn the basic techniques even if they've never painted before, or even so much as held a paint brush.  It is on DVD-R and is over 2-hours long.  It assumes the student has had no previous knowledge or experience in its instruction.

 

This video is great for helping you to learn to use a flat brush, a filbert brush and a knife to make  fabulous rocks;  All aspects of making beautiful rocks and boulders are shown. In no time at all, you'll be mastering the following elements:

 
  • Four Basic Shapes of Rocks
  • Simple SHape
  • Mountain Shape
  • Small SHape
  • Boulder Shape
  • Adding Rocks into Foilage
  • Beach Rocks
  • Rocky Coast
  • Gorge with Double Waterfalls
  • Cliff Ledges
  • Stone Ledges in Foilage
  • Rocks to Separate Layers
  • River Rocks in Banks
  • Snow Covered Rocks
