There are few artists alive today who have been drawing and painting for 75 years. 

Albert Handell is one of the few. From the age of 6, drawing with chalk on his Brooklyn neighborhood sidewalks, to an award-winning artist sustaining a professional art career for over six decades.

Imagine everything Albert has experienced in his life and career — technological developments, cultural shifts, changing trends, worldwide art movements … and yet Albert has not only survived, but continues to thrive as a living legend.

Having no trees, hills, or streams growing up in Brooklyn, Albert’s love for nature and for painting landscapes was forever imprinted on him after a move to Woodstock, New York. Years later, painting water and its surroundings continues to be his favorite.

To study with an artist who has the depth of knowledge and experience Albert possesses is an opportunity no artist should pass up. 

Albert is a world-class instructor who has the ability to capture your attention with every word and every brushstroke. His amiable style of instruction is very engaging and highly confidence-building.

Presenting Painting Water & Rocks in Oil with Albert Handell. 

In this video, Albert shows you how to take what touches you in nature and translate your impressions with paint.

Water and rocks are some of the most challenging subjects for many landscape painters … and just two of Albert’s specialties!

Watch and paint right along with Albert as he shares the tips and techniques that will help you bring the rush and power of flowing water into your paintings.

You’ll see how to make rocks look super realistic by depicting them accurately — the true colors, the lost and found edges and angles, and the shadows they create. Whether the rocks are your focal point or used as a strong backdrop, getting them just right makes the movement of the water natural and believable.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find an artist and instructor who can bring water and rocks to life as well as Albert can.

Albert takes you deep into his insights on color, value, paint application, and how to best work from life and from photographs. He shares his favorite techniques for visual blending — using different colors of similar value and combining transparent and opaque applications of paint to bring in the shimmer of moving water and wet rocks. 

These are the moves that have made Albert famous and that have earned him awards and accolades throughout his career.

Now, you get a front row seat to experience these moves for yourself and to incorporate them into your own artwork. 

You won’t want to miss a minute of this nearly six-hour video where Albert shares it all — every decision, every technique, and full explanations for why and how he does what he does … and does it so brilliantly.

Not only will you see a full start-to-finish painting demonstration, you’ll delight in a digital gallery showcasing some of Albert’s finest artwork. There are also specific insights from Albert on his art, his career, and why he hates commissions!

Water is dynamic and varies — the movement, energy, how it flows and changes directions. What happens when water is falling over rocks? Then there are reflections and shadows to consider.

To really capture the essence of water and rocks, great thought must be put into the project before one brushstroke is made. Albert helps you do that here by breaking the water areas into different facets and capturing the characteristics of each — the light, color, depth, texture, and how the water is behaving.

You’ll capture the subtle and dramatic changes that occur when rocks disturb the water’s path. You’ll see all the amazing colors found in rocks and find a new sense of enthusiasm in painting them with Albert’s visual blending techniques. Whether the rocks are hidden below the water’s surface, peeking through, or found along the banks, you’ll be more confident in painting rocks after seeing them through Albert’s eyes.

You’re in for a big adventure as you experiment with new colors — colors you may never have identified in a water and rock scene before. You’ll achieve a great new perspective and have fresh eyes for your next painting.

Albert says, “The problem with oil paints — they’re wet. The nice thing with oil paints — they’re wet.”

With this in mind, Albert demonstrates how to manipulate wet-into-wet paint so you achieve the look you want. You will, once again, fall madly in love with painting when you learn from Albert.

We don’t normally produce videos that primarily focus on one thing as this one does (though there is so much here that will transfer to other areas of your painting skills). But, knowing that painting better trees is high on the “to-do” list for most landscape painters, we decided to devote an entire video to the subject. And there’s no one who paints trees like Paul Kratter (wait until you see it for yourself!).
