Hi there, Liron here! And in this episode of Painting Mastes we'll review FANTASTIC works by Harold B Herbert.
Harold was an Australian watercolor painter who was highly renowned for his control of the medium.
He lived from 1892-1945, and has a FASCINATING life story. I recommend you read more about him here:

Harold Herbert perfectly captured the colours and quality of light of the Australian landscape.

[@tmp0922]

His use of opaques was always masterful, I’m reminded of the fact that the idea of only ever using transparent watercolors never really gained steam till the 1970 (although it started in the 1930’s). Beautiful work one of my favorite painters. Thanks Liron!

[@susanwilliams8607]

Thanks for introducing this artist from the watercolor painter's perspective! Fantastic use of elements, really evokes stories. That beach scene, very tangible. Brought back the m memory of dry sand underfoot. The light the composition. Yes fresh! Essential quality of an experience is present! I'll explore...

[@LironYan]

Thank you Susan 😊 Glad you enjoyed it. His art is really inspiring

[@Jules4Hymn]

Thank you for introducing me to so many artists that I would never be able to find on my own. I am new to the art world and have been pleasantly surprised at the awe and respect in the artist community. I recently participated in a local art show and the support and encouragement from other participants was astounding.

[@eleanortaylor4389]

Very informative! I hadn't heard of this artist before, but now I really like his work.

[@angiewright-artist8246]

Great video Liron! I love your view on this and you are bang on in your assessment IMO, very interesting artist, I love that he used opaque and transparent but used them so deliberately. His impressionistic style makes everything fall into place so naturally. I really enjoyed this one, great job my friend!

[@humanexperience1585]

Liron, great channel, great art, great everything.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so so much! 🙏🙏

[@dynomax101]

Herbert's monochrome sketches are very reminiscent of Rembrandt's work in the same genre. A big compliment, by the way, and also Whistler.

[@hartmannvondunaburg6768]

I thought it immediately too...

[@uncoveringthelost]

You are a godsend! Without your master painting series, I'd be completely lost.

[@lindamullahy5752]

Enjoyed you sharing new artists with us and his work is amazing so thank you very much for sharing your videos with us and looking forward to seeing you sharing us.

[@karenkrosnick8725]

Great critique of a wonderful artist. His paint opacity is incredible. Almost looks like oil. Thank you!

[@noellecurtisart]

I love being introduced to new artists and this was absolutely a joy to watch!

[@plumsystar]

That was really interesting. I know nothing about painters so giving me a talk about it is very nice.

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

These are wonderful. I appreciate your sharing them, as I'd not heard of him before this.. Thanks Liron…

[@mickford9332]

Thanks Liron really look forward to your painting masters videos and your analysis of there work.

[@barbaragemin5117]

Really interesting Liron! I love examining other artists' work. It teaches me a lot. Thank you.

[@jadziaxj]

Thx! I like this series sooo much!

[@eworth6060]

Really loved seeing these pictures!

[@androandro7179]

Wow! Loved his work, his pencil sketches are majestic ‘

[@DarbyandGill]

I live in Australia and this is VERY Aussie landscapes....utterly aussie :)

[@StephenMarkTurner]

Brilliant

[@TTomJohn]

🖒Thanks, Liron. Terrific presentation. Great job.

[@frenchgrama]

Another great introduction to a master watercolourist - I could tell a mile away that the artist was Australian - only an Australian could depict the dry, sunburnt landscape the way this artist has. I think he was true to what he was painting - the heat haze that is indicative of Australian scenes, especially the distant landscapes were captured perfectly, as were the gum trees and dryness of the plains... he made it look a lot nicer than I find it, I’ll definitely try to visit the gallery where his works are. Thanks again!!!

[@trlan55]

Herbert really is masterful at creating atmospheric haze in the distant mountains and, my favorite, the painting with the valley placed above center. Thanks for sharing.

[@asankaanujeewa6357]

thanks friend. nice paintings.

[@dowunda]

A great artist! A little reminiscent of Walter J Phillips, an expat Englishman who came to Canada. Do a search on him. There are a great many great English watercolourists from the early 19th century, pretty much unknown today - pre-Constable, pre-Turner. Of course there is Turner., a unique entity.. The last picture reminds of some of Winslow Homer's Caribbean scenes, (or is it Sargeant I'm thinking of?) No matter they are all superb.

[@2lmdi]

Thank you Liron.

[@johncspine2787]

The blue is Heavenly Blue morning glory vine which has gone from the house to the tree branch..

[@dynomax101]

Simplicity sometimes is deceptive...what looks simple and low detail is often gotten by subtle variations of colors and values not readily apparent. BTW, I agree. This artist is wonderful.

[@jengoodwyn2715]

What an amazing artist! I find water very hard to paint.

[@anetajohnson8446]

Liron. havent followed you for awhile. Im glad your still posting you tubes, and no one throuugh you in jail or chaste you out of town yet !keep up the great work. how about showing us some more of your watercolors? my favorite watercolor artist is still Charles c Evers, He specialized in boats and sea scapes.. then again, theres so many excellent artists out there!

[@annwilliams5590]

I love the sky in the coastal scene (5:17)!

[@LironYan]

It's really beautiful 🤩

[@caramelfudge777]

At 1.27...pretty sure it's the original on my bedroom wall. Was my parents, and passed down to me........interesting.

[@mbader9273]

Thank you for these images. FYI I'm pretty sure the first 2 b&w ones are etchings. You can see the plate mark around the 2nd one.

[@goudvisbloem]

Very intriguing! Thank you for this video!!! Are you certain he didn't use masking fluid? Without a doubt he's talented, it's sometimes so crisp it makes me wonder ... like the first one or the one with the boats in the harbour ... ?

[@hartmannvondunaburg6768]

The last one could almost be by Winslow Homer...the tropical light is amazing...I am feeling no need to avoid opaque colors since I am a hot fan of James Gurney, I go across all waterbased media in one painting: be it Gouache, Watercolors or even Arylics...no dogmatism in art I have developping my personal style...when we watch great "old" masters like Gurney or Walton Ford I think its okay...Herberts ink / pencil sketches have a lot from those of Rembrandt, clearly that he studied the old masters. Its totally different today from 1970es, in times most artists are going digitally, not the purity of the medium is such important, but the personal brush stroke, and there you can do a lot...so I dont understand people who wanna loot the brush packages by other artist instead of creating their own....as always a wonderful video, Liron.

[@francoisederocher]

Definitely a Winslow Homer feel to that one.

[@hartmannvondunaburg6768]

[@mhrobe]

The mention 26/50 at the bottom of the page should give you a major clue about the medium: it is neither pencil or charcoal, it is a PRINT. I would guess those drawings are either copper etchings or lithographs. The more I think of it, these are most likely etchings (preferred for hatching technique). Think Rembrandt selfies (!).

[@rosemarypetersen143]

mhrobe the numbers probably mean this is the 26th print of 50 No one could be showing the original. What do you think you see in Artists books? Only printing 50 makes a them valuable. That’s how we can sell our art!

[@HerradaJulio]

Thanks

[@ianjackson5834]

another great master in is own unique way, some stunning paintings, thanks Liron

[@HMC2133]

It is a printingmaking, an etching on the copper plate and printed-- not a pen drawing. ^ ^

[@LironYan]

Thank you for the correction (:

[@danthomas6587]

Never heard of him. Good find. Outstanding painter.

[@genevievejeanne8914]

Non

[@mallane467]

Firsttttt

[@dynomax101]

What is all this fear of details? I like detail, I like simplicity. I think liking a picture only because it is either simple or detailed is silly, making me think the viewer is deceiving themselves.

[@kenw.simpson1007]

Why do we have to out up with a damned talking head?
