5 BEST Watercolor Painters & Why | Painting Masters 30 SPECIAL

[@IxRequieMxI]

Liron, you are now my #2 favorite watercolor artist ;D Thank you for sharing your positivity and creative spirit with us all!

[@mikesamovarov4054]

❤

[@Lalaland_lady]

I almost snorted tea out my nose! I am pleased that you made #1 on this very list! Congrats!

[@LironYan]

😂😂 Thank you! Was a tough competition but I somehow made it 😛

[@ОльгаЗахватова-й2д]

This “message” is like a piece of art itself! It gives such great perspective. Thank you!

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😊

[@kbrandt4015]

Thank you for sharing your favorite artists with us and for the reminder to be kind to ourselves. You're a ray of sunshine!

[@diadumenos82]

You surprised me a lot with the number 1…. 😮I am still speechless and I keep watching the Moment you explain why “He” is the number 1. It’s a good way to think, you teached me a lot with these words. Thanks ❤

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear, thank you for watching 😊🙏🏼

[@simosimo7560]

Ah ah!😄 I agree with you, Liron. I know your favourite painters, but I don't like painting urban landscapes. I love nature, country landscapes, flowers, animals. Nothing uman now. And I love stronger colour! The things that I love most in your style and in Castagnet and Zbukvic are composition and depht, strong contrasts. I try to do this with my favourite subjects.

[@jacquelinepankuck750]

What a fantastic message! It's so easy to get down on yourself as an artist when you see these masters at work. So thank you for reminding us that each of us is an artist in progress. And by the way, your list is spot on. I would add Herman Pekel and Dan Marshall.

[@tammyclark1207]

Liron, yes this is so true, you must LOVE yourself first, before anything. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful video.

[@jilllusey7001]

Great message for all of us even those like me who paint only as a hobby.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy it connected with you!

[@erictheguitar]

i was waiting for #1 and then when you said "me', i nearly fell off the chair.

[@cheerp7313]

billy gates Me too! That was funny but indeed, true.

[@neoaureus]

Hahaha....made my fucking day

[@daeshavvn]

I’m late, I was so shocked 😂 I wanted to be upset, I was pleased that he showed that much confidence in himself and had a portfolio ready. Cheers to him

[@joybean6955]

What sets you apart from others youtuber watercolorist is that you always give us motivation, inspiring encouragement, and that explanation of what learning-artists feel.. This is what we need! Thanks so much for sharing your heart

[@raizaong388]

I agree with your message. At the end of the day we should all strive to become our favorite artist. This will motivate us to continue doing what we love. I love your content because it's always fresh and informative. Keep it up. Sending love from the Philippines.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I'm very happy this message connected with you!

[@montewills1071]

Super message to hear! Thanks! I am one of those souls who never feel my work is ‘good’ enough and I needed to hear this today...

[@judithherring8220]

Liron, this video is won-der-ful for so many reasons!! You show and succinctly describe the eye candy of the artists’ works and then. . . you end with a message that empowers us to love and respect ourselves and our own courage to enter this difficult, challenging and beautiful arena of watercolors. I have watched many, many videos, but with yours I can count on sound information, enthusiasm, humor, honesty, all delivered with respect for your viewer. Thank you for your hard work in making these videos available to us. Okay okay, enough with the kudos, even though they are all TRUE!! Simply put, you are a talented artist and gifted teacher!! Now I gotta go paint. . . 👍🤙

[@engleharddinglefester4285]

Those paintings you put up are incredible, Liron. Also, we love you too!

[@suzymulligan9784]

I appreciate your #1 pick! You are so right about needing to like your own art😍 I am not there yet!I just wish you had shown your work- as you did the others.!!! Take care, God has blessed you with some amazing gifts!

[@SharonH11100]

Very enlightening AND inspiring! You outdo yourself every video. Thanks, Liron!

[@LironYan]

Thank poi so much 😊🙏🏼 Doing my best to improve the vids and how authentic they are to what I enjoy doing!

[@markhumphrey8894]

I agree with your feelings about Joseph Zbukvic!

[@tovamagnusson1035]

Even though it's quite a small thing, that #1 spot really made me think. Thanks, I think this might be the best art advice I've ever gotten.

[@melissamitchellmoline]

I've watched about 500 hours of your videos and taken your class. I rarely comment but I suppose I will now. I think you're such a sweet guy! I love that you tell people to love their own work. Your happy personality and kindness comes out through your videos and work. I have learned so much from you but you are also really fun to watch. I'm sending you all the good artistic vibes from this architect living in Portland Oregon. You've been a pandemic vid binging life saver

[@oliverapopovart8902]

You can't fail to make me smile at your boldness and cheerfull self assurance. Keep up the good work. :)

[@lindaoneill746]

I've probably watched hundreds of watercolor tutorials-- and I love yours because it stretches my botanical style. But your advice to be kind to myself as much as others was the best watercolor tip I ever received. I am such a perfectionist doing realistic art that I found you to loosen up. I also took up urban sketching and plein air painting with your inspiration. Thank you!

[@rickbissell8678]

What an unexpected and wonderful ending!!!!

[@LironYan]

Haha 😁🙏🏼🙏🏼 Happy you enjoyed it!

[@mikeparker3865]

Thanks for the positive message. I am my harshest critic. I will try to be a bit more forgiving. I do love your choices of other artists. I love them all but I also have a love for Seago, Wesson, and Homer too. all are great and very inspiring. As are you my friend!

[@polygonalmasonary]

Artin revisits her landscape scenes the next day at the same time, ‘why don’t I try that?’ My answer, I live in the UK, two days together are ‘Never’ the same 🤔😮😂🤣🤣🤣

[@LironYan]

Haha 😂 It can be the same here too. But the summers are relatively consistent in light & shadow

[@rexgrl3]

The end was the best! I love your "love your work" concept....well done Liron!!!!

[@angiewright-artist8246]

I know this couple too and follow their work the first ones! I love love how they they choose soft then focus in in certain areas, very talented artists!! I also enjoy watching Gary Tucker's journey I believe is his name. I do the same with my works I enjoy going back to a painting after my first sitting, the first view of something I feel you take in the main areas of interest but when you come back to a scene the initial wow I wanna paint this is gone and that allows you to take in other details of interest that you may not have noticed taking it all in the first time. I feel it gives me another perspective of my same subject. Alvarez's I may have spelled wrong but I enjoy the simplicity of shape and use of color and do see his influence to your work which I always enjoy. I greatly enjoyed this video my xoxo hope you are well and congrats on gallery entrance piece I saw on Instagram I think xo

[@BUENOSAIRES4K]

Hey Liron, already you are like a myth about watercolor in the net. For me, kukbick and Castagnet. Liron come on to paint to Buenos Aires Argentina

[@LironYan]

Haha thank you my friend 😁 Visited Buenoa Aires and other places in Argentina back in 2013-2014, had an AMAZING time. Hope to be back in the future (:

[@nek114]

I was absolutely sure you'd give yoursellf the first prize because after Z and A only you should be n1!))))

[@youeyeball]

What an excellent list! From #5(#6?) to #1! And you're 💯 %, absolutely correct 👏👍!!! We will never be exactly like our heroes, but ,hopefully, ..... we can be the best version of ourselves !

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much, that's exactly the message I wanted to convey 😁🙏🏼

[@philippeblondeaux5566]

Hi Liron, I agree with your choice, these are also my favorites, somewhere in that list I would also mention Gary Tucker who has a similar style and sensitivity

[@lindashepard1541]

Your descriptions and analyses of the paintings are lessons in themselves. You opened my eyes as you described what you liked about the works. What a gift of inspiration and learning you offer with this video! Thank you, many times.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so so much 😊🙏🏼 If you want to see more analytical videos I have one for every artist presented here 😊🎨

[@dominikbaricevic3771]

Hi Liron, very nice video! Those artists are very popular now on social media and with their APV videos. I have been painting watercolors for quite some time and after a few years I started looking for something more than the Australian school of watercolor (Zbukvic, Castagnet, Pekel, Hyatt...) and I would like to share with you some of the masters who are currently rocking the scene but don't have such a social media exposure: Dusan Djukaric - Serbia Marc Folly - France Ping Long - China Lars Lerin - Sweden Arthur Melville - Scotland (deceased) Eugen Chisnicean - Moldova Hope I got you inspired a little bit, have a nice day!

[@LironYan]

That’s amazing 😊🙏🏼 Thank you for sharing - will definitely add to my list!

[@greekveteran2715]

Djukaric is 80% Zbukvic and 20% Castagnet mix! Good list!

[@karenkrosnick8725]

Liron, you always make everything interesting and "happy". Thank you for the masters' overviews. I really enjoy them. Thank you!

[@hartmannvondunaburg6768]

Yeah, you are right...at the end its the same what Joesph Zbukvic said, dont copy me , create your own work, with that said: Lets go ahead ! A propos: I decided to reinstall me in Greece, after my summer in the Baltics, friend of mine invited me to live with her in Naxos....and I asked myself what trace I am following as artist: Its definetly the LIGHT, these long mystical WHITE summerninghts at the Baltic sea and these Blues, Whites and deep shadows produced by the hard greek sunlight...on marvelous architecture.... thank you again...your input is very worthful.

[@LironYan]

That sounds amazing!! 😁 Let that inspire you to no end!

[@kimcolleenmina]

Wow! I was just educating myself for art styles and techniques in the middle of my watercolor painting, and while I'm at it lots of thoughts kept running, questions like does making this really matter or what differene does it make, AND do I really know what I'm doing??? and surprisingly heard your message in the end! Just WOW! Thank you! ❤ small instaces that stirs me up to continue what I am doing ❤

[@jenniefrench1338]

Yes be your favorite artist!! Nice Liron.🤗

[@ReinOwader]

I have to admit, I didn't know any of those artists. I have only enjoyed those on youtube - Garry Tucker, James Gurney, Tim Wilmott, Andrew Pitt. But now you gave me new names to search. So thanks.

[@LironYan]

Haha happy I could introduce you to new artists! The ones you mentioned are spectacular 😁 I also recommend checking Misulbu (mind blowing technique!): kzbin.info/door/bbwmgnpNyhpulUbqcQckgw

[@nadinevandenhende1472]

You always make me smile with your kind and wise lessons 😊 your a great teacher and you really have the gift of inspiring people! And it is trough, we aren't kind enough to ourselfs.

[@nodice8312]

Thank you have been quietly watching for years! This vid was incredible..for the exposure to styles and posibility.....are you still in Paris? Props for your consistanty and admirable effort...💋

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much for watching for so long! 😊🙏🏼 I'm in Tel Aviv! Paris was a (long) vacation (:

[@ontheotherhand7627]

Loved the `gotcha' moment at the end~ wise words.

[@fiery.mercaba]

"8:43" -- That got a big chuckle out of me! 😀 Yeah, as long as it is a healthy confidence & not arrogance, then that is a good mindset to have. If we are to get really technical, though, the #1 is definitely the Creator of the Universe! But, yes, you are right, He did say, "Do unto others as you would have them do to you." And, yes, you are right that there are people who are at times kinder to others than they are to themselves, albeit, eventually, sooner or later, animosity gets directed at the other, too. Interesting choices!

[@aditikanchansingh4697]

you are simply amazing Liron!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@myartprocess6003]

What a great video, Liron! Thank you for reminding me that I am a great artist!

[@jacktoddy9783]

Many years ago I sat on a panel of Architects in Chelsea London. Each member of the panel was asked to select two architectural works for an exhibition of local architect's work. Naturally, I selected myself. I was a young graduate setting out in the world. My selections were not accepted as the rest of the selection committee thought me arrogant and egotistic. That was many years ago and the world has changed much since. Art and Architecture has become far too technical with all manner of committees and focus groups having their heads planted firmly up their arse. The joy of Art and Architecture has become lost, except for those wonderful souls who manage to break on through to the other side (Thanks Doors). Like Liron, I was not being conceited, I was just high on life and what I could do. After all, if I did not believe in my ability then I was not worthy of a commission. Thank you Liron for a wonderful video. I cannot place any of the five Artists into a listing according to ability as each one has their own vision through their eyes and composition. I love Alvaro's work for the insane use of red. How he makes his colour selection work is wonderful to behold and he does it time after time. All of the featured artists are wonderful; along with everyone who picks up a brush. Remember, as soon as one puts anything down on paper, be prepared to get critically hammered whether you are good or bad, it makes no difference.

[@ndoorack]

Thank you for this wonderful message! I've only been watercolor painting a few years and am self-taught so your informational videos are so helpful! Also thank you for introducing me to these other incredible painters.

[@freshasgucci]

You have insightful interpretations of other artists interpretations! Really enjoyed the vid

[@moniquevanderster1867]

Thanxxx for this vid!! Love the painters you mentioned AND love the great advise at the end. Hallelujaaaaah!!!👏🏼👏🏼

[@dipankarmukherjee4280]

Yes. Believe in yourself. Some day some how your style and rendition will be hugely appreciated

[@plumsystar]

Loved this video. You are amazing!!! I want more. Your personality, I am so happy to have found your channel.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much and welcome aboard! 😊🙏🏼 I hope you'll enjoy future vids too (:

[@TonyWhiteWatercolour]

He does great videos huh :)

[@margaretlynch1494]

Your list was wonderful but intimidating. Thank you for your message at the end! 😁

[@kunalitvekararts8387]

sir i am following your channel since 6 month and every day i do water pratice and i really love water colour

[@LironYan]

Thank you so so much for watching the vids 😊🙏🏼

[@nedareal6313]

Thank you liron , it was the best messages that i recieved today , I love your teaching 🙏💙

[@michaelpittman4765]

Michael D. Pittman A southern plein aire colorist . Absolutely astonishing and he's just an aspire. Quite the rogue drifter or , " tripping over 3 cousins expressionism" to time travel through mdp's Escapism and thousands of Works affectionately stacked on the floor is era changing!!¡

[@COCOChatnails]

Another video that makes you so unique and beautiful. Thanks Liron

[@ptstrngr12345]

Liron, you are positively delightful!

[@danthomas6587]

Talented yet humble. Thx for the smile.

[@LironYan]

You got it 😊🙏🏼 Thank you

[@lennartbjurstrom2548]

Such a surprising ending and such an important point ❤️

[@margaretmartin6620]

Beautiful video! Angela Fehr always stresses this idea. She encourages her students by teaching "How to become your own favourite artist". A fantastic message. You have to learn to love your own work and express your vision, or there's not much point in continuing (I still struggle with this, by the way, but that's what we all must strive for). Thank you for the words of encouragement, Liron!

[@LironYan]

I love Angela's content, and she really nails this point! Once you learn what you enjoy, and the skills for conveying it, it's a snowball of painting, enjoying and improving! Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼

[@KittyKarenpoo]

Congrats on giving yourself some positive vibe. Good stuff, all around, 5 to 1

[@LironYan]

Haha thank you Gary! 😊🙏🏼 Got to keep it positive 🎉🎨

[@boubella11]

I was hoping that you would say that! Great teaching! Love love love this! I am hard on myself but often celebrate the small successes in each painting. The proof is in the action of continuing to pick up that brush and paint!

[@poudelaashish28]

amit kapoor is also great watercolor artist but it's your list and i loved your thinking about self confidence 🤗

[@johntravena119]

You were talking about the opening artists, how one has more detail and sharpness and the others flowed more? In Chinese landscape painting they speak of ‘having brush’ or ‘having ink.’ Having brush is painting the details and whatnot. Having ink is having skill in the washes, etc.

[@LironYan]

Interesting! That's their terminology?

[@seapossumsforrest8162]

Great Video! Loved the artists you picked! I am just learning and had no idea watercolor could be so vibrant! Thank you!

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]

Yeah watercolour can be very vibrant indeed, its a wonderful medium

[@ficheye00]

Thanks for the pep talk, buddy. I can't quite wrap my head around all the techniques that those guys have. It's like they're playing a kind of chess where you have to figure out every move you are going to make before you move the first piece. Awesome!

[@LironYan]

Haha indeed, but it gets much easier with time. You learn the steps and also how to “play around” with them in between 😉

[@captaindrywall]

for forty years used drywall finishing as my artistic outlet, now I just wanted water color to put color on paper, but could be my age I see more now. it's complicated.

[@LironYan]

It's a complex medium (like most other media). Don't worry and give it time & practice (:

[@oliferous]

That’s a great message! Everyone should absolutely be their number one fan, it’s not a selfish, pompous, or egotistical thing. It’s healthy and POSITIVE!! And thank you for reminding us of that, also thank you for introducing me to wendy. Her style and talent are phenomenal! I can’t believe she paints like that without a pencil draft!? Thanks for all of your work, YOU’RE in MY top favorites!!

[@tucsontom7244]

Great video. I agree with you on the artists and styles. Keep up the good work!!!

[@LironYan]

Thank you my friend 😁🙏🏼

[@unnikrishnanbg184]

I'm not even surprised at the first place spot, I mean look at this guy, he doesn't even have a symmetric face... He ought to be one hell of an artist... No doubt

[@LironYan]

😂😂

[@stephenberryart]

This is a great video Liron. We share a lot in common in regards to those people who we admire as artists. And 100%, I agree with your assessment for #1! We are here to paint paintings that we can paint. Not to simply duplicate and worship the art of those people who we admire. Keep up the good work!

[@Everyoneisanartist776]

Well done! Great message that is needed to shared 🙏🏾

[@thefabuloustravelingartstu5119]

I love this. I actually learned so much. Thank you

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Very happy to hear!

[@PHALOMOON]

Awesome message Liron! Its why I love your videos so much.

[@jbow68]

Superb choices! Thank you, Liron

[@LironYan]

Haha thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@MsBettyRubble]

Always appreciate your videos. Thanks!

[@LironYan]

You got it! Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏼

[@haidar537]

Hi Liron very good choices but what do you think about David Taylor ?

[@LironYan]

Got an episode on him here! I love his work 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/opXFf4SYjZhgldk

[@DS40764]

I adore light and shadow also and something sort of unique, so I love the chinese artists you chose. I'm not experienced enough to be a great painter like you (lol), but I agree confidence is everything-even though it is something that only comes from experience and practice.

[@cheerp7313]

A thumbs up for you! Thank you! You inspire this beginner so much.

[@oberon460]

What a wonderful video! Thank you for your great presentation of those Artists!!!!!!

[@pswagner]

What a LOVELY message !

[@rattlesnakerenegades770]

you one of the bests Liron ❤

[@JustinPunio]

great #1 choice and reason! I agree with most of your list, but I would also include Dan Marshall in there too.

[@lindaolsen7828]

Fabulous message added at the end. If we don't believe in ourselves, what's the point of going on?

[@Jules4Hymn]

Whoa! I did not see that coming. 😋 Good inspirational advice. I always feel empowered after watching your videos. Thank you!

[@kashivishwanath7603]

I loved the last couple of minutes in this video....👍

[@VideoGrabaciones2010]

I was expecting the conclusion. It is not arrogant at all, but it must be the way every artist must see himself/herself. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement.

[@robinhere4230]

What a great surprise ending!! Thanks, L.

[@LironYan]

Haha 😁😂 Happy you enjoyed!

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]

Great video, it's soo true we have to love our own work!! Do love your selection of artists too! I especially like Joseph's work, he's a true master

[@jeanniehargis4034]

You should have shown some of the work by your favorite artist - your own work. Really enjoyed this presentation with your reasons for liking certain artists. Thank you for your great tutorials.

[@DannySabraArt]

Liron! Loved your list here, and your positive message. Thanks for the inspiration. That something I want to do with my channel and my art is to encourage people to see the creativity and value in themselves and in using their creative voice. I see you as a strong warrior in that effort. Keep up the great work friend!

[@MrJimbelt]

I have to say I agree with everything you said and the artist that you chose very very impressed I gave up art for years thinking why someone can take a picture and with photo art be whoever they wanted to be and now I'm sorry that I did and I'm back working full time working so hard to get caught up thank you you tube

[@TTomJohn]

🖒Thanks, Liron. Great choices. Who knows why we connect with another artist? But it's a joyful experience when it happens. As always, informative and enjoyable.

[@LironYan]

It is a mystery 😊🎨 Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@globus1010]

Absolutely loved your message

[@M_is_lost]

Quick question: At the start (first artist(s)) they show their art on a bezel/stand, can you paint on that with waterpaint? I'm trying to learn art and am just really doing everything on my own so I have no idea.

[@LironYan]

Hey great question! Whenever I paint outside - I use a similar easel (: As long as you can control the angle (which not all easels allow...) - it's ideal for watercolors. I like this one in particular: amzn.to/3L25XXV

[@deepakdevkar5437]

A very beautiful video.. I am happy that I subscribed your channel. I just love your painting and the way you explain. Tks a lot.... Waiting for more from you in future.

[@LironYan]

Thank you and welcome aboard! ^_^

[@lilou_dawn_illustration]

Well done! I love Chien Chung Wei and Joseph Z.! and guess what they've worked together too! Love's Josephs generosity and CCWs words of wisdom

[@LironYan]

I'm not surprised, they are great! 😁 And they're styles seem to mesh well together (:

[@tesartmania4645]

Perfect line up Liron 😄👌

[@LironYan]

Haha thank you! 😊🙏🏼

[@hornjan8258]

That really was a wonderful message.

[@torbreww]

Thank you for introducing such great artists. I would be very interested in a video about your opinion on ten great portrait artists in watercolour or any media.

[@ibrahimissaiaawad2888]

Thanks Liron, I like your videos!
