I'm so glad to see you, Liron! Thank you so much for another wonderful, insightful video. I truly appreciate all you do. Sending much love your way!

[@nancypeplau9747]

Both relieved and delighted to see you posting in such difficult times. It lets us know you are safe. Your videos are even more precious now than ever! I love your teaching. You my dear are so precious. Praying for your life and safety.❤

Thank you so much Nancy 🙏♥

So happy to see a Liron video today! Love how fresh the flowers look. Excellent tutorial, as always.

[@stinar37]

Liron, this is magnificent. Thank you so much for sharing. I love your dahlias. They look so natural, and I love what you said about ferocious interest. Excellent video. Keeping you, May, Ruth in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏

[@jdlang6839]

Thank you, Liron! I'll paint this today. What I love is that you share the vulnerable, that you are always learning like we are. And from that, we get your gems...trials and thoughts of how to make the painting better. And better yet, by being brave and painting and practicing and having that spark of curiosity, we just keep getting better and better. So the process is so much more important than the final painting.Thinking so much about you, Ruth and your family. Keeping you in my prayers, daily❤🙏

[@LironYan]

Thank you so so much 🙏🏼❤️ It’s important for me to show everything if I can. Very happy you benefit from it! There will soon also be some processes I’m very proud of as well (:

[@littlesteve1000]

So happy to hear from you Liron, and putting up another great tuition video, Steve from London

[@janinewilson8647]

Thank you. So happy to hear you today. We are thinking of you your family and your safety. Been watching you for a while and love your explanations in all videos. Thank you for your inspirational passion of watercolour.

[@margaretmartin6620]

I really like this. Different, but very interesting. So happy to see that you are still able to carry on with your work under the circumstances. Stay well, Liron!😀

[@magdalenaholt2967]

Profoundly insightful. Thank you for making these. Stay safe. Bless you.

[@mollypbfitz]

So glad you're back. Great lesson. Thinking of you and all those in danger.

[@scorbett4370]

Hey Liron! The dahlia painting turned out to be gorgeous, especially the large one in front, it almost glows in areas. Great to see you today. ❤️

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@donnaweintraub8769]

It turned out lovely. That white addition really made a huge difference

[@Diane_McDon]

“…seeing the matrix..” in watercolor -brilliant concept! 🔥❤️

[@KK-so2fg]

Thank you Liron. A generous and beautiful video. I like your comment at the end about how it looks not enlarged, and it did have small power! ❤ 🙏

[@valthedestroyer]

I was so happy to see this video on my feed today. Praying for your safety.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Valerie 🙏♥♥

[@marinasidko8509]

Happy to see the new video from you. Stay safe.

[@lisabennett5078]

Liron, praying for everyone in Israel, so happy to hear your voice.

[@LINAZAB]

Hi Liron, thank you for your honesty and challenging the status quo of “process”. There is a room for processes, no doubt, but as you said it does not make up for the sheer acquisition of skills and knowledge, Good on you…. And thanks again for sharing your insight, passion for Watercolor and your tutorials, always a great inspiration. I may have a go at Dahlias, despite the challange 😊

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I really appreciate it ❤️

[@CastleMc]

Your videos are always useful, thanks for posting them. So many YT artists proclaim that tried and true techniques and principles are unimportant in art and encourage people to just follow their impulses and "trust the process" instead of working at developing skills. BTW, I recently discovered how valuable Naples yellow is, and it seems the perfect yellow to use for these dahlias. Stay safe!

[@Patrickkind78]

God bless you my brother I love you and stand with you

[@joykruczay]

Lovely, loose interpretation. And the thoughts about beliefs and trust are likely applicable to the issues, thoughts, and fears that you are surely experiencing now. Thanks ever so much for sharing. It seems so insignificant, but all we can do is be here for you. ❤

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼❤️ As for the ideas I share, this was filmed before the mess started over here, so I think it’s always relevant to me (:

[@ninner196]

Very nice Liron dahlias are beautiful and some can be the size of a plate. I used to raise “dish plate dahlias” and they were easy to care for and many colors. I enjoyed your painting, we keep at it.😊

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

[@nicky9187]

Thank you Liron. This is the one you were talking about that you recorded in the 'before' time from a few days ago? Glad you got to upload it and so good to hear your voice! Is 2.53am here so looking forward to painting with you once the sun is up. Ha... my 'system' for painting at the moment is to find my starting point and go from there. Not very scientific ... Now I've heard your voice I think I shall be able to sleep. Shall be able to take more on board in the morning.. good.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊 Indeed this one and a couple more were filmed in advance. Happy you were able to sleep well 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@rosemarymoore3142]

So happy to see x hear you, thank you for this video. Stay safe my friend.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so so much 🙏🏼❤️

[@debsmith7050]

I understand Liron.

[@YosemiteLee]

Good to see you❤

[@stampinturtles]

Your experience is what makes you create masterpieces. Sometimes the process helps me see what doesn’t work. Then I glaze or add with opaque gouache to correct it. Your piece looks amazing and just goes to show how you can play with (and break) the rules and get great results. Isn’t their an artist named Banksy who challenged the art world and what is art. He did graffiti art. You said something important, “if you like it.” I’ve been exploring mixed media and abstracts. I really like it. It’s fun. If I trusted the process it would be a hot mess. Maybe it is a hot mess. You’ll have to check my channel out and see. Lol. But overall I like it. I’m so grateful you posted today. I’ve been rewatching some of your older videos. And finding some I missed. You have a great way of explaining things. I know you are in trying times and I continue to pray that God protects you. I pray for peace. The one thing I can trust is in Jesus. I feel His love surrounding me everyday. I let Him guide me and that’s in all aspects of my life. Even my paintings. 🥰I hope you find that peace as well. ❤🙏🏻

Loved the video . be well .

[@ClodsCreations]

I pray for your safety and the shalom of Jerusalem (regularly), and that your family is safe as well, and that you weren't in any of the kibbutz's that were attacked. . May Father bless you all. Assuming you are deployed, I am looking forward to you sharing your wisdom of watercolor when your safely home.

[@stockholmpearlsandviews4772]

Glad to see you Liron. 🇮🇱 Shalom from Stockholm

[@dimi9171]

Hi,Liron! 😊 Thank you so much for all of your videos, buddy! How do you frame your works, please?😊

[@LironYan]

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I either paint to size of an existing, pre purchased frame, or I let a framing pro do it for me (this happens more often actually)

[@dimi9171]

@@LironYan thank you 😊

[@denisewenke8323]

I like your use of gouache in the finishing touches. I am studying techniques from the earlier days of watercolor before body color was frowned upon. It's instructive to see that in action. I usually hear "trust the process" in the context of getting through the middle stage of patchy washes and indistinct shapes, knowing that you will be making corrections and adjustments in later stages. Like a lot of catchy phrases, it loses its meaning with overuse.

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Liron...cant believe you are able to paint during such chaos in israel 😮

[@scorbett4370]

Liron’s art is his passion. It probably helps distract him a bit as well. And, he’s probably also thinking of his follower community here on KZbin. He’s a generous, artistic man.💜

[@LironYan]

Thank you Sujanith 🙏🏼 In a future vid you’ll probably hear airplanes and bombing in the background. I kept thinking I’ll have to stop the recording and run for shelter

[@followyourbrush]

I love the “ferocious desire to create “. I know I probably messed up the quote, but that’s me. Ferocious desire to paint daily. 😳

[@LironYan]

Haha as long as you feel the quote, doesn’t matter if you messed it up 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

[@followyourbrush]

@@LironYan it’s ok, I mess up my painting too! 😂

Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏼

[@tassi8925]

Thinking about you, hope all is well

[@Wal48]

Flowers are difficult for me. The only slight success I get is when I just don’t draw first and work very loose. I like the result you get here though. Hoping you are well and safe.

[@LironYan]

Same here ^_^ I often struggle with flowers

[@M0odyBlue]

I think I hear you saying that if you want to grow, you shouldn’t be formulaic, which doesn’t give you the freedom to follow and respond to what your paint is doing. I notice you started with the darks. Blasphemy!!

[@LironYan]

Or, be formulaic with your own formulas (: It's all about experimenting and finding your own voice and way. And indeed haha - I often enjoy starting with the darks, in a most blasphamous manner 😛
