The glow you generated on the shadow side of the building with Azo yellow is excellent

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Yes...As you mentioned....you do exaggerate light and shadow....But that is YOUR TYPICAL STYLE...so appealing to the viewer😊👏👏👏

[@amandahess9228]

I guess you would still call me a beginner. I've been going at it for about 7 or 8 months and as I go along I come to appreciate your videos more and more! Thank you for taking the time to share with us

[@davidtrujillo993]

I love how even the blues are warm. I can feel the heat. The colors of home

[@margaretmartin6620]

This was so relaxing to watch. I hope I can get to that point soon. Very nice. You make the perspective look so easy. Thanks, Liron for another great video. :)

[@johnrestucci8269]

What can I say, SUPERB ,SPLENDID impressionist style !

[@priscillahallsheets8712]

Liron, all your videos are really good but I especially love this one. Some of us will be great artist and some of us will just love to paint and I’m happy to do just that. You are helping me in so many areas of painting. Thank you so much. You are awesome,

[@butohbabe]

Your explanation about the tendency of lines to lean from a lower point of view was helpful

[@charlesjacques750]

Really enjoyed the video and all your related comments.

[@peterfels5779]

The little things you paint are great. The highlight at the palmtree left side. I have killed them. You make this so easy. TY for upload. Stay save.

[@vojtacepelak7767]

Really wonderful. I liked it very much.

[@anita2777]

Amazing!

[@oreed]

Enjoyed this one and your commentary. Thanks!

[@lotusphere6]

Looks great thanks for sharing.

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

When you start a painting.....I feel scared the way you are free in your first wash.....then slowly I begin understand....why you do certain thing....amazing...😊

[@LironYan]

Haha thank you 😊🙏🏼 And about Phthalo - it was a spontaneous decision. I don’t care about colors as much as I care about temperature and values

[@milagrobigio1765]

Great Job!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Milagro 😊🙏🏼

[@Wal48]

Well you did it again. Put that dark wash on and I though whoa, way too dark. When you finished adding all the details, the wash had lightened and the result is perfect! I wonder if you could do a lesson on mixing, what colours you tend to use to get your colourful greys? It would really help me to be brave enough to go darker than I think. I actually got this photo from your link to the source reference and will give it a go 🤞🏻🤩

[@LironYan]

Awesome 😁🎨 Let me know how it goes! Will do something about mixing grays and my most used colors!

[@trendybiswa5198]

It is stunning I love the way you paint. Could you please advise what color and brush you use I can't afford so expensive but let me see. I am from India if I can get same color material also the brushes you use. Thank you

[@MariaOrtiz-ww9mp]

Lirón, very nice learning from you. Which one is the white color that you used for the details? Thanks.

[@LironYan]

Jaune Brilliant by ShinHan PWC - Awesome warm white!!

[@asesinodecred]

:)

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Why did you use of pthalo blue rather than pure alternative for the sky....As per the reference photo?

[@valeriachaldranyan3165]

Liron, how did you make a Highlight with the white Acryl color? Because i have "white Gouache" watercolor and it doesnt block on top other colors . Thx

[@LironYan]

I used an opaque watercolor paint! Straight out of the tube. Jaune Brilliant by ShinHan PWC (:

[@valeriachaldranyan3165]

@@LironYan Thank you for the answer, have a nice day! I will try to Order this color! :)

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

How much of a slant are you painting on. Something i have played with and not hapoy for a long ti e now.

[@badrimotamedi1028]

I didn't get how the dark area turned to lighter
