In this video, I share how I use a palette knife to create textured and realistic rocks. I also share where and how I went wrong with this painting when it comes to colors. Sometimes, it's important to simply embrace the ugly side of art and share it anyway. I hope you enjoy this wet into wet moody forest landscape and take away some fun techniques for your own paintings.
