Struggle with Big Washes? Try This | Watercolor Tip

[@tinyfacemcgee9211]

Stay safe! We need you💕💕💕 I just bought two of your watercolor courses! I have improved in just two days! I love your courses because they have really helped everything click. I want to be free. Being worried and tight makes timid paintings! And a great price! Also, I bought your how to shade book. That’s helping a lot too. I have your other books in my Amazon cart! More extreme wet in wet videos please💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@LironYan]

Thank you so so much for the kind words and huge support 🙏 More than I can ask for ♥

[@tassi8925]

Glad to see a current video, means you’re alright

[@MersedessBens]

🙏🙏🙏😢🇮🇱

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 🙏♥ We are relatively safe for now, you can be at ease ^_^

[@patriciathomas9685]

It’s good to have you back. In fact, I was a little relieved when I saw that this was a recent post. Thanks for all you do!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much for your concern 🙏♥

[@stampinturtles]

When I saw you paint the wall red I was like, “why?” But when you added the blue it was like magic! Amazing! Had to pause the video to comment. ❤ Also I realized how you are dealing with bombs and sirens and the threats in this video. I wasn’t sure if you were near the fighting. Praying for you and all of Israel. God is with you. 🙏🏻 Now I will continue watching. 😊

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much for the kind words ♥ We are an extremely tiny country, when an alarm goes off in a nearby city, it's realistically the range of 10 km max. We hear it all. All my paintings on our walls got gradually crooked due to constant impacts. Thank you once again for the prayers and support, I really really appreciate it 🙏🙏

[@sanjivanigole9138]

Stay safe, Liron.. praying for you and Israel.. thanks for this wonderful video

[@louisklein9207]

Honestly this is my favorite watercolor process. It takes a lot of practice but I think it’s worth it. I think watercolor always looks its best when painted in a single layer. There’s a certain vibrancy and translucent and cleanness you get when you don’t keep layering over it

[@ARCHIFIORI]

Grazie amico per la tua bravura e generosità. Chi è così buono viene sempre ricompensato dalla vita...

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 🙏♥

[@patlatour2465]

I like that cauliflower looks like a cloud, great stairs, it’s a good learning process. Stay safe Liron have a beautiful day.😊

[@scorbett4370]

Hey LiRon! I love the “feel” of those old, well used stairs, the warmth draws me to them. I’m impressed with how focused you’re able to be, and thank you for providing this video. I continue to keep you in my thoughts. Stay strong and safe. I look forward to seeing you again soon. ☮️ ❤

[@LironYan]

Thank you so so much my friend 🙏 And very happy you enjoyed this process ♥♥

[@brendas8934]

Hi Liron, I learnt a lot from this video thankyou so much. Continued prayers and best wishes sent🙏

[@LironYan]

Very happy this was helpful 🙏 Thank you so much ♥♥

[@followyourbrush]

I’m really enjoying color mixing and using less “connivence” colors. It’s fun to play.

[@LironYan]

Same here! (: Though sometimes I feel like some processes would be so much easier by just having 3-4 ready-made different primary colors haha

[@followyourbrush]

@@LironYan I have taken the step into trying Michael Harding watercolors. If you were closer I’d give you some to try. They are definitely different than others, yet I can’t pinpoint why. I can say I feel “satisfied” when I paint with them and don’t want to use my others, of which I have way too many. 🫣 I even sent him an email. But I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you, 🤣. I’ve used them for almost two months now, and they are great. Come see me and we can “play”. 😉❤️

[@LironYan]

Haha 😛 Interesting, now I'm curious in what way they feel different from other brands. Let me know if you have more insights!

[@followyourbrush]

@@LironYan I’m still trying to figure it out. It’s hard to pinpoint. They are very pigmented! Thick when fresh, almost reminds me of gouache. Yet not! lol! They do take a couple of days to “set” up. I’ve read they have honey, yet Dr Oto Kano, had on her site that is unknown. I think one thing is the colors are so vibrant that what you paint is what you get. Depending on the water of course, but they only take a small amount to get big color!

[@followyourbrush]

Oh! Love the way you’re doing this one!

[@followyourbrush]

You know you’re in my thoughts and prayers daily!

[@CHicksArt]

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family and friends….lovely to watch you paint. Peace from Duxbury, MA USA 🕊️🙏💙

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much ♥

[@followyourbrush]

❤ Great video! Always looking for the “highlights”.

[@LironYan]

And it's so fun to just leave them as paper white, and then decided what to do with them. Though sometimes I also enjoy "mapping" them out with light colors, and then painting around them

[@chloeforthright837]

Great instructions step by step, so helpful. Thanks Liron Stay safe. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Chloe (:

[@artieross9537]

I really liked how you did the stairs. Stay safe!!!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much🙏♥

[@YosemiteLee]

Love watching you paint this. You’re painting - I’m praying!

[@ninner196]

It is more difficult to explain than it is just to do as you would normally. It’s is very admirable to see you painting. I really like the colors in your washes. Hang in there! The sounds of the jets aren’t loud over KZbin. 😊

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much both @yosemite & @jenjen, much appreciated ♥🙏 Happy most of the background noise doesn't come through

[@stephaniecascio5724]

I love that you left the cauliflower in the sky! I actually don’t mind a well placed cauliflower in my paintings. 😊 What kind of pen are you using for the highlights? Is that just a regular ink pen or a paint pen? Stay safe, keep creating, art is more important now than ever!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 🙏😊 Cauliflowers are just how you choose to see them haha. For the highlights I'm using this pen (affiliate link): amzn.to/3wkIawO

[@Diego_SanCA]

You stay safe!

[@pamfox2192]

Thank you . Stay safe. 🌹

[@LironYan]

Thank you ♥

[@jdlang6839]

I always learn something from you, whether drawing or painting or tips and techniques. Thank you for your teachings and the way you care about us learning. Such a difficult situation you are in. So glad you are safe where you are...And so glad you have art to help you through these hard times. You are in my daily thoughts.

[@LironYan]

🙏♥

[@BonnieJWa1]

Thanks!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Bonnie 🙏🏼❤️ Means a lot

[@bessboschetti7972]

I loved how you explained the colors you used and why. I love how colors mix on the paper. So, so happy to see you are physically ok. ❤ 🙏

[@LironYan]

Thank you 🙏😊

[@candyvanstaveren558]

Thanks for posting something..have been worried if you are ok

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much for your concern 🙏♥

[@YellowMelle]

It's funny, I feel like I have the opposite problem of feeling challenged to match a colour, but a lot of the time, realistic colours can be pretty boring! I find myself wishing I could have pushed it somewhere prettier, more vibrant, instead of painting everything with the same dirty grey that it is in real life.

[@LironYan]

I understand EXACTLY what you mean. I have found myself losing interest in the middle of a painting because it was a constant chore mixing the gray reds, blues, yellows, browns, greens etc. There is a cure for it, and I think it lies in my recent vid (Last Watercolor Technique You'll Need): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPRlad_a9lrldE Because at the end of the day... color matching... coulds also be used / viewed as a technique (:

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

You use neutral tint a lot .is it true

[@LironYan]

Yes, I used quite a bit of it here 👍
