How to Paint According to Your Vision (Desert Scene 🌵)

[@yogendrajagtiani1527]

I am convinced this man can paint anything and enjoy it

[@LironYan]

Haha true! 😂

[@trinahaines5838]

I love the soft horizon, the gouache highlights, the cliff - it's all fantastic! I am attracted to the stark beauty of the desert, and this inspires me to keep trying to improve my desert paintings. Thank You!!

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😁 Very happy to hear!

[@patio87]

The opaque blue in the shadows really makes it.

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😊 I’ll probably experiment with this approach more and more

[@dessyedeeclark1144]

Loved the blue in the rock face

[@theartisticactuary]

Thanks Liron. Interesting stuff you did with the opaques at the end, which reminded me of my big discovery of 2023. It's a way to add texture to walls, tree trunks, metal posts, anything really. I get some titanium white watercolour (PW6 and opaque, just like the gauche you were using). Mix it up pretty watery, paint a stripe along the edge of the shape I'm interested in, paint water over the rest of the shape and encourage a bit of bleeding, then dab off all the paint with kitchen paper, not too quickly but not too late. Get the timing right and the whole shape gets an amazing texture. Discovered by accident like all good watercolour techniques. Wondering now whether I should try out a variation of this but with some colour mixed into the white.

Interesting!! Would love to see a video demonstrating this 😁 I screenshot the comment, may give it a try!

[@vincentcassar3549]

I really enjoyed watching this video not only because it deals about the subject that I like most but also because it was very informative. Thanks for your tips on the use of gouache for the lights. It was very useful. Keep up the good work

[@artieross9537]

WOW, Liron! I absoutely love this painting and your technique.

[@Diane_McDon]

Love your commentary style-and yes, that horizon was amazing

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Liron...for me this is your best landscape 👌👌👌👌

[@LironYan]

Thank you my friend 😊🙏🏼 This makes me so happy to hear

[@trumpetingangel]

I don't really SEE the nuances of this scene until I watch you paint it! (I've never been to the desert; perhaps that's part of it!)

[@carlaswander5971]

Thanks for this great video! The transparent combined with opaque is useful. Beautiful work as always.

[@dessyedeeclark1144]

Now that I've learned the term 'high key' so well explained, I think it was helpful to comment on brightness & saturation, that darkest is not brightest and that each color hue has a unit sweet spot for it's brightness.

[@LironYan]

Thank you for letting me know! Happy these concepts were easy enough to understand ☺️🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@chrishayman1747]

Wonderful painting Liron.

[@babycakes1949]

Just now seeing this one. FANTASTIC Liron!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 🙏😊

[@artwhat..]

Nice talk about, always enjoy them😎

[@bethjames9246]

Beautiful Painting!

[@johnswatercolours7436]

Love this type of video Liron 😍 Your narration covering your process is so informative and combined with an outstanding end result , is so inspiring! Fabulous work my friend 👍 👏👏👏🙋

[@LironYan]

Thank you John 😊🙏🏼

[@zenandink3531]

Love the cliff 😮

[@bethjames9246]

Hello Liron, I hope you are safe! Yes regarding color, understanding the value is the challenge not so much the actual Hue. Thank you for responding and be well.

[@InLiquidColor]

Hey Liron! Thanks so much for this video. I have a lot of pictures from the American Southwest I took last year, and this video is actually inspiring me to want to try painting them!

[@LironYan]

Thank you Denise! I would absolutely love to see your take on this kind of a scene 😁

[@InLiquidColor]

@@LironYan I gave it a try (four times), and unsurprisingly it was not super successful, haha. It's almost like new subjects require practice :P

[@creatiVARsee]

Love your painting. Also. You did a great job editing and commenting. Thank you, Liron!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊 Very glad it was useful

[@Acquerellomania]

Really beautiful 👍👏👏👏

[@barbaragemin5117]

Excellent work Liron. Saw the importance of multiple layers ( taking care of how wet the paper is) and the lovely effect of the jaune brillant. I must try it as an alternative to white gouache.

[@LironYan]

Thank you Barbara! It’s a great option indeed 😊 It provides a perfect warm highlight

[@ConniePullella]

I have a reference photo from Sedona I was having trouble with. I think I'll give it another try after watching this. Thanks! 🌵

[@LironYan]

Awesome!! Let me know how it went (:

[@liviariviello9474]

Magnifico!!!! Complimenti!!!

[@LironYan]

😊🙏🏼

[@trisht5064]

i really love the sky and horizon, the main rock is really cool too,i think i will have a try with the white sometime too. i have the WN design 1 and dr ? bleedproof white too . i love the painting over all 😊

[@LironYan]

Yeah definitely give it a go if it makes you curious to try 😁🙏🏼

[@bethjames9246]

Hey Liron, I think the reason people ask what color is it is sometimes a value issue not a hue issue, at least with me:)

[@LironYan]

Do you mean some colors are naturally darker so easier to use? So knowing the color helps also in achieving the correct value? Let me know, and thank you for watching 🙏🙏♥

[@deepanwitapaulghosh1750]

Love your works..can you please tell me which escort brushes do you use ?

[@denisevance1045]

So lovely! So many purest preach no gouache! Don’t get it, it is watercolor, what’s the problem? Nice work thank you for sharing

[@LironYan]

Haha yes they’re practically the same 😂😂 Thank you Denise! 🙏🏼

[@scottenosh4548]

Is the the reference photo in Negev??

[@LironYan]

Close! Judean Desert (: I believe it's not connsidered part of the Negev, but they aren't too far off

[@scottenosh4548]

@@LironYan One of these days, Ill see Israel. She's number 1 on my list.

[@bethjames9246]

Do you always sign with a fine tip marker?

[@LironYan]

I usually sign with a rigger brush, but sometimes it's more practical to use the white gel pen (if the area I want to sign is darker)

[@andreasd1132]

There's a realistic painting of half a hard boiled egg on the palette.

[@LironYan]

Haha darn it! That always happens to me 😂🥚

[@crchuckh6852]

very good, thanks
