In this realistic watercolor rock tutorial, you will learn to paint rocks like a pro. I show you exactly how to make them 3dimensional, how to build the tones that give them shape, and how to add the details, that bring them to life. An ideal project to complement a wildlife painting, even use them for the Wood Mouse, as I did (https://bit.ly/3V31RVc).

If you would like to learn more about creating different textures with watercolors, this would be a good video to watch next: https://bit.ly/397KBI4
