Just a pile of rocks!

I took a photo of these rocks a few months ago & wanted to paint them, just for fun! Don't know why, but I like painting rocks! This workshop was a good excuse to do it. It's a type of limestone called "Jerusalem stone" which is used as a facing stone for buildings because of its beauty. It takes on a golden glow in the sunshine.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on June 26, 2013 at 18:08: Thank you very much Ningning. It took me a while to figure out the background & try to add some depth; it wasn't like this in reality! I'm glad you like it.

Comment by Ningning Li on June 26, 2013 at 15:14: I love your value and color contrast between the background and those stones. Beautiful!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on June 25, 2013 at 8:02: Thanks for your comment Montalvo - maybe a bit more contrast would be good.

Comment by Montalvo on June 25, 2013 at 6:55: Hey Jess..you did another one. Good for you. Little more darkness on the shadows?? No matter what... i love your colors.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on June 23, 2013 at 18:45: Thank you very much, Dor - I'm sure you could paint these rocks beautifully! (if you want to do it, I'd be happy to post my photo for you!)
