So folks, I've got sandstone, limestone and volcanic lined up, any other rock types your like me to cover in this series?

@TheImmersiveWorldCrafter 5 лет назад

Sandstone and limestone will be your sedimentary rocks, and volcanic is your igneous rock. I would say you need to include some metamorphic rocks too with ribbonlike layers and perhaps some minerals within their forms.

@BBruziak 5 лет назад

Martian rocks please!!

@Gambeloakgaming 5 лет назад

Marble plz

@edevans5991 5 лет назад

Red sandstone

@billd.iniowa2263 5 лет назад

Granite. Anyone wanting to model the Rockies will need to know how to do Granite. Like the model RR folks.

I think this is legitimately one of the coolest tutorials I've ever seen. The end result looks like you shrunk down a cliff face and set it on your hobby desk.

@TheTerrainTutor 5 лет назад

Thanks mate

@craigallison2801 5 лет назад

Mel is certainly channelling his inner Bob Ross in this video! Fantastic results for a relatively easy to do technique

@poojagadigi Год назад

Nobody explained as clearly as you have done. Thanks a ton just got it what i wanted. Highly realistic

@TheTerrainTutor Год назад

Glad it helped

@juliusjames5577 10 месяцев назад

Ha you kill me! Not only did I learn how to paint some realistic rocks I learned some English. Picky sod, cheeky fellow, etc… love it.

@luppchri Год назад

I had some great results with dry brushing but your technique provides for sure more realistic results. I was not sure what to think when you started adding unusual colors like Amber but it really adds this extra level of realism. Well done and thanks for sharing!

@the_arcanum Год назад

Sooo, this is the actual Leopard spots technique. Wet on wet. Mate, I'm so happy to have rediscovered that tutorial. I've seen so many videos from terrain youtubers that just apply bright color washes directly on porous plaster and then darken everything with a black wash. And it just ends up looking like dogshit, really unrealistic because there's no blend and the initial bright washes get sucked into the plaster before they have time to blend. This is looking WAY better. Thanks Mel !

@jonathanreich9694 Год назад

Dude, this is incredible!! I have always done my rocks using a dry brush technique. They have never looked this good. I can’t wait to try this!!

@NewSquallor 2 года назад

@kallegrabowski8972 3 года назад

What shall i say: breathtaking and absolute stunning. You are the godfather of painting rocks. The best Result i have ever seen here. Now i try to use the knowledge i get from this video on my model-railroadrocks. Thank you very much indeed!

@chumbawampa 3 года назад

Great tutorial this is the best way of doing rocks ive found the wet wash method from your video you can really get realistic rock shades

@DeanPark 5 лет назад

@SamDaMan410 Год назад

This is an amazing technique!! Simple and easy. I just finished 3D printing a huge fantasy castle and there is a cliff part underneath and I was trying to figure out how to paint the rocks. And it looks amazing!!

@RagingOwlbear Год назад

Oh my gosh... I like this so much better than the other leopard-spot wash techniques. Thanks for this! This is exactly what I've been looking for.

Please do a side by side comparison of the completed rock walls so we can see how the end result varies by technique.

@normanrowe2831 5 лет назад

Hello Mel. What a lovely rock! Great tutorial. The one thing I noticed right of the bat was you never came back at the end with a white high lightening technique. You know the old dry brushing. I found that fascinating. But also that fact that you let the rock and your washes create their own highlights was much superior in the final results. And that my friends is why we watch the master. See ya next time.

@TheTerrainTutor 5 лет назад

a drybrush at the end would be unrealistic with this technique mate

@Bristle_and_Broadsword 3 месяца назад

amazing

@arkenhemnall6224 3 года назад

Really lovely outcome there, I'm doing my own rocks at the minute too, and definitely as you've done here. All too often though lovely work like this is made to look a bit naff by overly heavy use of semi luminous static grasses and flocks clumped on in lumps all over too. Good stuff, I'll have to use the plaster moulds too sometime as I've hand carved all my rocks, it takes ages! Cheers

@bensrpgpile2 2 года назад

Mind blown. Really well done. Can’t wait to try. 👊🏻 Wonder how it would do on 3D printed pieces. Probably have to prime it up nicely first. 🤷‍♂️

@teddyjackson1902 2 года назад

Thanks guy

@GregoryGeilman Год назад

You can also use Woodland Scenics Earth Colors pigments. Yellow Ochre and Raw Umber are nice additions.

Whoop!

@modelsfromscratch 5 лет назад

Thanks Mel - great technique I've not tried it but am sure to give it a go after seeing these results. I've not checked all your videos on rocks and hills but would be interested in how you handle dry country - especially mesas etc. more focussed on red earths landscapes. Also good to see you take on crafting scree. Cheers mate. Alan

@TheTerrainTutor 5 лет назад

Sandstone is on the list mate

@dale77788 Год назад

10.04 Same. But I might try this painting technique too.

@djangofreeman5085 3 года назад

You are a Terrain Terror! Love the UK terminology, fun stuff. But, let's get crackin'. I am new to all this stuff and watching various others for techniques to paint with acrylics. I'm a Slot Car race track guy and my layout is gonna need a lot of terrain i.e. rocks, cliffs, trees and maybe a pond or a waterfall. I've seen some of your other stuff and was wondering whether or not to subscribe. . . . No Worries Mate b'cause I finally did today as well as clicked at the end of This vid on the "Hills, Rocks and Cliffs" tutorial. Thanks for the tutorials and Hard Work Mate, Cheers!

@billd.iniowa2263 5 лет назад

I noticed you did this in one shot. I often do a color and let it dry so I can see how it looks. Then wet everything again and do the next color. Say, What happened to that tiny drop of yellow you added in your first vids a few years ago? The difference was amazing. Very realistic!

@TheTerrainTutor 5 лет назад

That in the next vid mate

@pjs5340 3 года назад

Nice work, well explained, you've got a new abonnee =)

@negotiableaffections 5 лет назад

An amazing piece of painting. I've many terrain builders doing similar things but this stands out. You kept the ratio of random to skillfull application just right. Is it me or does it look better in the video sections rather than the still photos?

@TheTerrainTutor 5 лет назад

Still learning how to colour grade my pics, always learning mate

@arcort669 Месяц назад

Looks amazing!!! Do you use a clear sealer between any of the first layers?

@joshgreer784 Год назад

This looks perfect for a project I've been fighting with. Does this technique work on plastic models as well?

@oo7hashassin173 2 года назад

I need your help lol I’m a beginner and love predator, so as a fan and fussy with displays I’m making my own lol 😂

@kimnobles7687 3 года назад

I love this - thank you! Do you put anything on it to protect it afterwards, like a varnish?

@TheTerrainTutor 3 года назад

Matt coat will do it mate

@TheJamesm1980 2 года назад

Great video could you add a dry brush on top of this technique??

@user-cw6kg8of6v Год назад

that middle clip of the three on the wall with the one clamp twisted around backward in the beginning of the video is REALLY hurting my brain with the rest of the nice and organized things lol now that I see it you must all see it aswell. xD

@olgachanachowicz2861 10 месяцев назад

I like your video. Can you apply this technique to wet wash concrete rocks in my garden? I just made some faux cement river stones as a border. The cement is still curing. Can I use ordinary latex paint for this technique or does it have to be exterior paint?

@Galorn 5 лет назад

If you ad a drop or two of dish detergent to your thinning water it works even better.

@TheTerrainTutor 5 лет назад

That's for dry washing mate, there's no need with wet washing

@RonWylie-gk5lc 3 года назад

Hiya Mel, new boy here but learning a lot thank you. May I ask where you get those moulds from?

@DenFrutselaar 2 года назад

Very nice tutorial , do you highlight the rocks with drybrushing to finish it off , or will that overdo it ?

@TheTerrainTutor 2 года назад

It'll overdo it mate

@danielebling Год назад

Wonder how to change this technique to paint plastic rocks

@tedjones8744 4 года назад

I’ve never tried this way.i always tried the woodland scenic s way witch way is better.

@chaoticpainting1507 3 года назад

If I had some pigments would it be ok to skip the dirt step and just toss on some dirt that way?

@collieryhubgames1151 4 года назад

HI, where do i find the vid of you painting the rocks on your d-day board?

@teddyjackson1902 2 года назад

Do you do any painting of non-porous surfaces?

@paula_shugart 2 года назад

Hi there! Whats the name of your casting powder and will it submerged underwater if i will use it in my koi pond? Thank you so much

@thepigmeat9553 3 года назад

Could you link to the products you use to cast and mold the rock in this video?

@shiroumxm2052 Год назад

i dont know why whenever I make a Black wash it ruins my rock , instead of birnging up the details and cracks it brings up the white titanium i use to make grey..im so frsutrated.. Also I find grey color looks a bit purple/blue
