Post subject: | Painting realistic rocks and stones |
So I've started work on a rocky outcrop to battle over in my games, but I'm stumped on how to paint real looking rocks. I've previously painted rocks, with drybrushes and washes, but these don't seem to get that realistic affect. Not when I do it anyway. I'm sure we all love realism in our hobby, so surely you know what I mean. I can't get the desired texture on my rocks usually, or cohesively. Of course, these rocks I'm making are rather large and would look good and benefit from a realistic paint job. Blabbed on, but anyway. Has anyone got any tutorials/techniques of how to paint realistic looking rocks? Thanks in advance |

If you check out woodland scenic's YouTube channel you can get some good tips. I've painted up some cliff faces with their techniques and they look very good |

I just start from black and dry brush dark grey, then grey, then light grey etc. using a lighter drybrush with each colour. To make it more realistic add brown to the greys or add a dry brush of brown and maybe a dry brush of an earthy green. A wash of brown or green could be effective as well. |
