Stop Trying to Match EVERY Color! Do THIS Instead

[@jillkent6134]

It’s lovely you really needed that yellow wash to bring it to life at the end.😊

[@LadyArtist3059]

Your artwork has skyrocketed since I last saw you. Your teaching is amazing.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊😊🙏🏼 Do you remember what video / approximately when that was? Curious!

[@jaquelinedeponce5251]

I concur with Monique Bazar! So very pleased with how you have come into your own. Watching you achieve this almost makes me feel like a proud mother of a very gifted son. For a brief moment I am at peace and all is right with in the world.

[@DjedduAmun]

You are my watercolor teacher. I have also took your advice and watched a few other people you suggested. Great for a beginner to see the overall process from was to ugly to beautiful.

[@lucygeorge5423]

You are an EXCELLENT TEACHER. LOVE THIS!!!! ❤

[@LironYan]

Thank you Lucy!! 😁🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@rsomars]

It looks like magic while you’re painting 🥺

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@writeonhk]

Wow! I really couldn't see where you were going with this at first - the initial sky wash seemed so wrong! But it all came together beautifully! Learned so much from this - thank you!

[@LironYan]

Haha, the magic of watercolor 😉 Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@BowBeauties]

I love impressionist art... and colors that are unexpected in paintings too. this video gave me so much inspiration for things to try with my own exploration of my own unique style

[@LironYan]

I’m very happy to hear! 😊🙏🏼 Thank you for watching

[@judylarkin1978]

Once again, I learned so much from your underpainting! You are a great teacher! Thank you!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you Judy!

[@claritzairosario68]

Well, all I want to said, it's on your comment area. I want to thank you for teaching us like this. The most important thing I learn from you, is to losing the fear of dark tones, and also about letting go of trying to copy exactly what you see (it's not bad to do so) because the Artist is recognized by his originality! I have learned through these video tutorials that you can add the colors you want, in such a way that it is in perfect harmony. I have to confess that it gave me goosebumps to see all those dark colors in the beginning of the layers 😂, and then everything was like magic! I love your videos and what you teach. Thank you very much for making these videos! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🥰🇵🇷

[@dagugli6092]

The one that teaches learns! You are so much better since first see you. Thanks for making it easy for all.

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😁🙏🏼

[@pennykynigou6254]

This is so clear and helpful. You really pushed me to see and think analytically in terms of tone, large structural shapes and temperature. It is so helpful to watch your demos and hear how you think through each stage. Can’t wait for the next one! Bravo!

[@goat8477]

The yellow at the end really does it :-)

[@LironYan]

The missing piece! 😁

[@Anikanoteven]

‘This is what my instinct tells me to do…if you want to start using your instinct it comes from practice…’ So true! Your watercolor style, the way you mix colors is gorgeous! I love this lesson. Any chance you can do a video explaining these exact principles but geared a little more for a beginner?

[@grannygooch706]

Thank you my eyes and brain absorbed everything I learned from you beautiful painting.

[@emby_mb]

Your way of teaching is genius.

[@arandomperson9014]

ive been watching a lot of your videos. bro u r one of the best ytbers ive ever subscribed TwT ur vids r such great help!

[@LironYan]

Wow thank you so so much 😭😊🙏🏼🙏🏼 Very happy I can help ❤

[@bcroundtheworld3497]

Hi Liron, I just painted along with you and enjoyed it a lot! Thank you from Austria, Bina

[@LironYan]

Thank you Bina! 😁🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@roxanneazul]

Amazing Liron!!!

[@sherlynn7211]

I am understanding initial washes more.. geeze this is so good ! You rock! :)

[@toniswiffen5039]

Really enjoyed that one, lovely little painting!

[@alphotheone]

Love your work, Liron the sky appears greenish thus the yellowish lighted sand. Sorry going by what is seen on screen. Still always learning.

[@teresaemery1339]

I like using ink and calligraphy pens for the details. It turns from thick to thin lines beautifully.

[@Bella-rt3xx]

One of the most interesting lessons I find so far. Learned a lot just from watching. Thanks a lot and keep going

[@azjudith77]

Masterful painting! So fun to watch!

[@patlatour2465]

I like your explanations as you walk us through the painting 😊 very interesting.

[@duck782]

Love your style and lessons! I’ve just discovered you today and already watched a couple! What a great teacher you are!

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😊🙏🏼

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Absolutely nailed this lesson for me Liron, I am the worst about the initial unifying wash. Thank you again so much 🙋🏽‍♀️!

[@LironYan]

Haha thank you 😊🙏🏼 Takes a bit of practice but you'll get there! Also - wet-in-wet (completely pre-wetting the paper) can help (:

[@ratulsarkar8972]

Brilliant one!!

[@lindathaxton1994]

Thank you LIRON - you teach soooo well - I aspire to be able to simplify like you do - 🙏👍

[@pavanmpib]

Wow.. i can never ever.. never think of painting straight out of tube.. now am tempted to do so... And ur first wash was 😍😍😍 precisely my struggle in connecting shapes

[@distantLshaw]

So helpful. I've enjoyed watching you paint for a few years now, mostly on Instagram, and you teach me, by example, how to be more of an artist. Thank you.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Lynne 😊🙏🏼 So grateful to hear!

[@carmenf.desousa-aritst3044]

Really enjoyed watching your process👍 great painting

[@w.l.691]

Superb Liron, the decorations really just finished it off beautifully. x

[@lindathaxton1994]

Your painting is way more than good - it’s excellent!

[@katekorg]

That is amazing! 🙌 thank you 💙Liron!

[@LironYan]

Thank you Kate ☺️🙏🏼

[@robinhere4230]

Liron: This is so helpful!! Who knew how many little subtleties and layers go into the step-by-step process of painting? I think your commentary while you are working [do this; don't worry about that right now; we'll come back to this area...], it is all really helpful to see. I have the problem of not trusting the layering process. Anyway, thanks for your willingness to share your knowledge.

[@jeannes]

I learn a lot from videos like this. Thanks so much for this lesson. I'm still trying to paint like this. I love this style of painting, it has a lot of natural flow that goes well with watercolors. But when I go to paint like this myself, I get lost in small details too soon into the process. It's a habit I'm trying to break. I want to see it as overall shapes and values but I fixate on the small details as I work and I lose the big picture.

[@LironYan]

Haha yes I get it, and it used to happen to me a lot. You've probably seen this one, but it's one of the best examples I filmed on how to avoid that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2apq5yfq96ho9U Always have the "next biggest shape" in mind (: Completely disregard the details inside it (including highlights), and focus on the shape itself. Later you can start introducing wet-in-wet and lifting to improve this process. And one last not - don't obsess on the big shape's edges! The more important factor is how the shape is read as a whole. The edges play a minor part in that. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@jeannes]

@@LironYan These are great tips for me, and I'm going to revisit that video, thanks!

[@kje3429]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you!

[@uddipangarrix340]

Wish i had a teacher like you❤

[@annevanderwoude9319]

Thank you I like the underpainting I wasn’t aware of it that you can do that thank you

[@LironYan]

Haha happy it helped! Try applying it the next time you paint ☺️🙏🏼

[@julielevasseur7391]

Oh, beautiful. Yes. Wish I had your free hand.

[@marthamccarthy6940]

Wow! This came out amazing! You are such a great teacher, I always learn so much from you! Thank you!

[@LironYan]

Thank you Martha 😊🙏🏼

[@melbendigo]

Through the whole second half I was hoping you'd glaze an ochre over the sand and enjoyed when you did at the end :) Great video, so fun to watch and very instructive! Thank you!

[@issiedorenbush875]

Watching from Toronto. Thank you for a wonderful lecture.

[@teresaemery1339]

What brushes do you like best? Your ability to keep that point is fabulous.

[@andrearevilla4354]

This is the kind of tutorial i was looking for!

[@crogo2004]

Looks great! Good idea to try the yellow glaze.

[@pachilin]

Thank you, Liron!

[@vishalshahart]

Beautiful work and information 👏

[@pattywhite8644]

Love your explaination of the first step

[@richarddewitt3457]

Such an informative video. Thank you Liron! I’ve learned so much from you already.

[@honoart]

I had your watercolor course and it is amazing. I learned a loooot. And thank you for this super video. :)

[@shirleygreaves9650]

Amazing tutorial, thank you. X

[@cathyolson3476]

Love it! Great video, thank you

[@scottenosh4548]

Liron. Regarding the London Bridge values tutorial...would you consider doing that one again, but with color this time??

[@LironYan]

Sure, why not! (: Will give it a go soon 🙏🏼

[@Aishalqa]

Thank you so much, your videos are so helpful 💜💜

[@alexamanole8400]

From now on I'll always add my thick watercolor/gouache from the cap. I was always pouring a little bit on my mixing palette, but once I am done it always dries down and it's intended purpose becomes redundant. Thanks for that tip. Awesome technique as always 👌 PS - when you said you would add the Indian yellow to the sand I gasped in excitement 🙈

[@LironYan]

Great take regarding the cap! I also sometimes dip it into the tube 😂 😁😁 Happy this helps, and happy you enjoyed that final addition of Yellow 😉🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@lorriewatson7423]

Thank you! I learn so much from these!

[@sdc9572]

Very good video and very useful. Thank you

[@mysterygirll03]

Great painting 😇

[@AnimaedArte]

Thank you for your precious sharing 😊👍 is the color you use for final highlights guache?

[@electrichen6243]

I'm a newbie to painting and trying to understand your process. It seems a mix of glazing and a la prima. A glazed underpainting of cool and warm excluding highlights. Then a la prima by establishing mid tone and lighter darks first matching whether cool or warm according to the underpainting. Then details of lightest light and darkest darks. Using muted primaries in the initial washes then small detailing with saturated primaries. Am I on the right track?

[@LironYan]

Yes - Great description of this particular process! 😁💪 However - it varies greatly depending on the subject matter AND my mood / things I want to experiment with (: Which is why I recommend experimenting with a multitude of approaches and processes to develop flexibility 🎨

[@electrichen6243]

@@LironYan Thank you so much. As a beginner I found it nerve racking to even put paint to paper at first. Your videos give me encouragement, help me accept mistakes, and to not give up. I'm now feeling confident to experiment👍

[@erkanfmercan]

Nic painting!

[@anetajohnson8446]

LIron, Nice to see a good drawing from you, youv improved alot from several years ago. DO YOU NOW SELL YOUR WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS? ill keep an eye on you and your improvements, And your videos are special, two. Theres so many really great painters out there, i couldent name them all. Each has there own style and technique! Have you developed the Liron Yanconsky technique yet? Thats where if you had one of your paintings hanging up with several artitis, and some one came along and said hay! Liron did that one?

[@archidream]

Che meraviglia il tuo lavoro! Spero un giorno di arrivare alla tua bravura così da poter portare anche io contenuti così belli sul mio YT. 🥰

Very good work. You have progressed noticeably since 2018 and are much looser in your approach. I can't wait to see the boat you paint in 2028.
