The Reality of REALISTIC Watercolor Painting

[@bparsons7337]

Really impressive result where we know exactly what these objects are made of - metal, ceramic, glass, stone, liquid - just 💥💥💥

[@markhumphrey8894]

I agree with not working on a painting this size for days. I paint to relax from my job. I feel that hyper detailed paintings are too stressful to paint and after a bit you want to be done with the subject you are painting. I love the looseness of your style. Gives more exciting feeling.

[@kathryncurry8728]

Love this! I know you’re not really into realistic paintings, but for others that are, like myself, it’s really helpful!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Happy to hear. I occasionally indulge in a realistic, detailed painting 😂 I have to really be in the mode for them

[@user-xt2dz8oe7c]

I love how you articulated our thoughts and worries. I don’t think anyone else does that and it really helps. It’s almost like something magical telling us to correct a particular area. Thanks so much! Cara

[@LironYan]

Thank you Cara 😊🙏🏼 So happy to hear

[@thegreensun4944]

I mean let me just add another since everyone else see the same thing I see ……. Amazing. 😶. Truly

[@LironYan]

🙏😊

[@shamardaniel4819]

Painfully Underated video!! Thx so much!!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😁🙏🏼

[@justins8404]

You are a legend !!!

[@sweatpantgardener]

Wow the realism is stunning thanks for the video. This is nice to see the longer format more time-intensive realism than your more common interpreted style.

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😊🙏🏼 Very happy this was helpful! Will share also the entire process in Thursday’s livestream

[@Steven-e8r]

That’s an awesome piece of art Liron. Great work!!

[@freebirdk8]

Yeah I’m game for a four hour, I’ll paint along with you. Thanks for sharing this it’s inspiring..

[@LironYan]

Will do 😁😁

[@artieross9537]

I'd enjoy seeing your full three hour process

[@teresak1177]

Hey Liron, thanks for this! Were you sick? Sorry if you were and hope you are feeling better!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Yes, caught a virus but now back to 100% finally 😁

[@LoriTriesLife]

I am taking your sketching class for watercolor. I think one of the most important watercolor lesson was your video on learning how not to leave hard edges and knowing how much water to pigment ratio is best. I'm just about to watch this video. Thanks for your inspiration 🎉👍‼️

[@LironYan]

Happy it helps! Thank you so much 🙏🏼😊

[@ursulastaempfli759]

So beautiful! Full of light, contrast and transparency. Thank you for this generous lesson!

[@kimgalea6529]

Thank you it’s beautiful!

[@cassiefairley-digitalartis5629]

This is really beautiful.

[@lisajensen1843]

This is a great video! Really nice painting, Liron😊. So many useful demonstrations of washes and highlights. Thank you!

[@LironYan]

Thank you Lisa! 😊

[@sallyr6839]

Amazing and thank you. The full video would be so helpful too. 😊

[@LironYan]

Thank you for letting me know 😊🙏🏼

[@Diane_McDon]

Thanks for showing us this one

[@magdalenakruczkowska9937]

I absolutely admire your hard work and enthusiasm!!

[@sbialka3591]

Wonderful demo! So helpful to see your approach. I’ll certainly watch this several times to study the various washes, which really show the development of the tones and nuances in the painting. Thank you, Liron.

[@WalkerFrankeArt]

Not quite done, but this is incredibly inspiring! I struggle to be this methodical when it comes to painting 😂

[@derekcutsinger3511]

This was so great to see the process. I have learned os much from you over the years!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊 Very happy to hear!

[@lisabennett5078]

The pouring part is called a spout in English. 💗

[@gmax758]

Absolutely amazing ❤

[@lauramerrifield7485]

I found this almost memorizing to watch. Love this piece. Thank you for sharing Liron

[@lisabennett5078]

Using more layered washes will give you more time - great tip. I'm doing that with a truck painting right now. Was wondering how you'd feel about it. I didn't feel like I could commit to the final value to start out. Thanks for the video!

[@LironYan]

Thank you Lisa! 😊🙏🏼 Indeed - this makes it easier to slowly build up to final value. Also, hopefully you saw my response to your previous email. You’ve done a fantastic job with that car. You’re definitely getting there!! Curious to see the truck too (:

[@lisabennett5078]

@@LironYan thank you for caring! You've been a huge influence for me! I've painted 4 vehicles now, they're GORGEOUS. I really resonate with rust! I'll send you the other pictures. Just put an old GMC truck on the board last night.

[@LironYan]

Saw them now - SUPERB! Will send a more detailed reply via email (:@@lisabennett5078

[@wonderlife62]

The reference photo is very helpful…please continue doing that!

[@elinacampbell9206]

Thankyou that's really awesome

[@duaneabrego2373]

Your gift really comes through on this demo

[@esmegelling6854]

Fantastic. You're a master❤

[@mohandoctor1930]

Wow factor in your demo ❤❤❤

[@marieradi-nahas767]

Great video and demonstration. Thank you Liron for sharing. Would love to see the whole video.

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊 Will try and post it soon

[@user-xt4ot5hb5s]

Appreciate the way you explain your thought process whilst painting. Love watching your videos. Thank you for so generously sharing.

[@ewarrin]

The full process would be awesome!

[@deniseturnbull8254]

Excellent demo

[@rattlesnakerenegades770]

It's great to have the reference photo there all the time so we can see how it goes. Many videos don't have it (not talking about yours) and makes no sense to see a lot of progress trying to figure out what the artist is seeing.

[@LironYan]

😊🙏🏼

[@JmStyles93]

Phenomenal! ❤

[@michelebedard2226]

So beautiful 😍 I learned this as ‘still life’ painting

[@suev1520]

Really fabulous..so helpful….😮

[@thecreativebuilder]

Brilliant! 👏

[@bennienavarro3701]

love this!!!❤

[@GM-yn9nc]

Great tutorial ❤️

[@lindamacewen4084]

Wonderful still life objects well painted. Question please: how do you prevent blooms from forming?

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😊 They are usually created when paint in one area reaches a certain % of dryness, and then is touched by a wet wash. I try to be aware of what areas are wet, and how much. If something’s gone past a certain point, I *try* not to touch it with any nearby wet wash. But the emphasis is on try (: I fail at al of this quite frequently haha. You’ll always find some blooms in some areas of my paint, and it’s fine. I’m not too worried about it in the grand scheme of things

[@jia01510]

Enjoyed every minute of this video! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Excellent...very realistic 👌👍

[@LironYan]

😊🙏🏼

[@artwhat..]

Great stuff,Thanks LY😎

[@LironYan]

[@neiacampos2044]

Parabéns por seu trabalho

[@followyourbrush]

Good to “see” you!

[@lonnieash]

Great painting and nice to see the process!

[@MaxfieldMini]

Excellent work as always 👏

[@paulhorten2736]

Wow...

[@dejanzart]

One question: Is this hot or cold pressed paper? Btw, amazing video, it inspires me to put more effort into my paintings - this video shows that it really pays off

[@LironYan]

Cold press this time (: Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼

[@MrPuddinhead61]

I would love to buy it!

[@LironYan]

Feel free to email me about it 😊🙏🏼

[@sylviastoler6598]

Le tueur wouafwouaf 😊

[@xcruzz]

Hi brother… you are an amazing artists and teacher! Thanks so much for this well elaborated content. I’m relatively new to water color and English is my 2nd language so I wanted to suggest you elaborate, while doing it, on the terms you use such as Wash or Glaze? I think I know what they mean, but with 85% confidence level 😂

[@LironYan]

Will do! Maybe even a separate video haha 😊 It’s been a while since I discussed terminology

[@zitista9350]

Muito bom

[@doegasque9904]

I am still working on your sketching classes but love watercolor I am using prettybin expensive paper so mine would buckle. What paper are you using?

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 I’m using Saunders Waterford mostly, but also like Arches and Baohong (:

[@lilianejonson6634]

This looks really great 🎉 another question, do you always use the same palette with the same colours or do you have different palettes for different paintings?

[@LironYan]

I’m pretty much always using the same colors. But I do have 3 palettes I go to, and I’ll rotate randomly every couple of months 😛

[@Diego_SanCA]

Hope you are safe!

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

I realised that you used most of the areas wet on wet or wet on damp...that's one of the reason it looks very fresh and realistic...this is what Louise De masi uses for most of her paintings.sorry I always go ga ga...about her. It suits me too much

[@LironYan]

I actually don’t think I mostly did wet on wet. Most of the sections were painted on a dry paper. I do however, make use of the paint while it’s still wet - to add details etc… The only exceptions are for areas I want to be smooth-edged, so I might pre-wet a small section of the wash.

[@vestibulitis]

What round are you using here? Escoda Ultimo travel?

[@LironYan]

Escoda Barroco size 16 (:

[@artieross9537]

I meant to add to the prevous comment. Please include the voice-over.

[@LironYan]

Thank you! I did something similar in a livestream: kzbin.infoveEReZ-0iS8?si=Itx16mKKXCkIZEeM Went over the entire process and narrated while pausing, rewinding etc…

[@2lipToo]

Very, very nice work but I had a panic attack while watching...way above my pay grade for now.

[@LironYan]

Haha 😆 Yeah it’s a little more thorough as a process, I’d say. A lot going on everywhere
