Using Temperature Over Values | Painting People in Watercolor

[@muraliram8802]

Your demonstrations are very useful for learning water color techniques. In this particular video, you talk of temperature ( cool & warm ). If one knows while painting, how this is used as the artist works, it would have been a wholesome education for using temperature sans values.

[@catieb7415]

Hello Liron 🙋 firstly please don’t think I’m being patronising or rude in any way. Your accent is strong so it’s clear that English is not your first language. However, the way you explain the process of your painting is SO clear and the words you choose and the way you use them is SO helpful. I’ve had many art teachers but none have been able to get the message across about how or why to apply paint in the way you do. I’m very appreciative of your videos. They’ve changed my approach and improved my artwork from both the sketching to the application of paint. Thank you very much 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@comedygumballmachine4748]

Amazing... I just love it when human figures are suggested in water color - I think it's THE most effective way to paint them (rather than trying to get a realistic portrait, for example). It's when you can capture the essence/feeling/action of what's going on in the scene, that the water colors speak to the viewer. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Gonna apply them next time I try figure painting!

[@rozk5318]

I was mesmerized watching you paint this. Love the shadow work.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@kocindes]

Dear Liron, I love your work. Your lessons are so helpful. I enjoy following your whole process like this one and when I do, the results are much better than anything else I make🙂. Thank you so much!!!

[@LironYan]

That’s amazing to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you so much!

[@sallywright5503]

Very helpful. Was working on values yesterday. I’ll have to keep temperatures in mind. I just want to say again how much your style of teaching works for me. Thank you.

[@plumsystar]

Thanks for the walkthrough tutorial. It really helped. I love watching you mix colors, because I tend to isolate colors and I find myself stressing over it, I will continue to practice

[@vanessapt]

Thank you so much Liron, this is an essential practice for beginners like me. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.

[@pjs3514]

Wonderful lesson. It’s very confusing when artists talk about tone, color, value, and temperature. You have simplified that. 👏👏😊. Thanks

[@artsymargo]

Thank you for showing the sketching. Seems most KZbin tutors skip that process and go right to painting. It's so helpful to hear your thought and design processes.

[@loriryan701]

Once again, your video is so informative. I'm just learning to paint people so I really enjoyed this one. I hope your trip to New York is going well. It's a beautiful time of year to visit.

[@susanhughes559]

I love this, and your narrative is so helpful. Love how you demystify the application of experimenting with different colours.

[@Dibdib35]

Loved the way you took us through step by step. Just putting in the shadows was mind blowing 😮

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 🙏♥

[@lisatighe7656]

Wow, very cool lesson. I could have sworn that guy's yellow shirt was painted all yellow in with darks put in later - trick of the mind I guess - my brain filled in the details.

[@catieb7415]

Lisa Tighe - me too! Thought it was yellow all over. Liron is brilliant

[@artsymargo]

Ignoring what my brain tells me is a big challenge!

[@sandrasamuelson4796]

Some of the photos I want to use are from my family collection--often old black and white. I don't want to paint them in b & w so suggestions on adding color? Also it seems that in most of them the lighting is quite diffused, not many well defined shadows. I would appreciate a video on adding more dramatic lighting to your painting when your refence is diffused. Thanks

[@martynbeasley5690]

Great work. I can't wait to try your way of painting. Thank you.

[@judyfranklin9577]

Very good demonstration Liron , I am trying to paint people so need all the help I can get .Many thanks you explained it so well

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear ☺️ Let me know how it goes!

[@judyfranklin9577]

I am pleased with my result Liron , many thanks your demonstration certainly helped me .

[@rati960]

Beautiful light and shadow effect, made so simple.Thanks Liron

[@fernandolucioocamposandy530]

congrats Liron, I like a lot your works, thanks for sharing.

[@LironYan]

Thank you Fernando! 😊🙏🏼

[@freyamariano106]

That was excellent, thank you so much Liron!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you for watching!!

[@babycakes1949]

Wonderful lesson Liron. I have been following you for a while now and very much appreciate your videos. I even emailed you recently with some questions/suggestions. In thinking about the power of simplicity in watercolor I came across an artist named David Rankin. You might want to check him out and hopefully feature his work in one of your videos. His work is stunning in it’s simplicity and yet so impactful. I aspire to be able to do that someday. Thanks for all your help.

[@JessicaSandersArt]

Beautiful, Liron!! Everything I love about watercolor. 🤩 It reminds me of Hazel Soan's work.

[@barbaraonisko8989]

Wow. You are so good Liron. Thank you for how u teach... just excellent

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

Looked at last years " people"....the improvement in motion is absolutely amazing. Last years were more static....this years ...waiting for the people in the painting to move .

[@dhananjaybhosale970]

Thanks for the wonderful simplified elaboration on the process

[@barbaragemin5117]

That looks fun Liron. I think I'll try it, using colour temperature rather than tonal values. Interesting. One question. Can your course be viewed on an iPad once bought and downloaded?

[@impish22]

Wow.. very helpful.. always wondered how to do that.. you explained it so well.. thankyou..!!

[@LironYan]

You got it 😊 Happy this was helpful!

[@Chiewere]

Thank you so much this lesson, this lesson is a masterpiece.

[@susanmerila4958]

I love your style. ❤

[@barbhalleen7924]

Loved it !!! Really inspiring Answered some of my questions !!

[@fotoladyvb]

This video came up as a suggestion on my feed. Thank you! Can’t wait to try this technique!

[@babycakes1949]

Liron........When I saw you put down that red on the first arm I couldn’t believe how dark and intense it looked, but in the end it was perfect. Was that pure Pyrrole red or a combination? Also, the skin ‘shadows’......what colors did you use for them? Thanks

[@LironYan]

Haha see? It worked out! 😁 I believe it’s pretty much a pure pyrrol. The blending together makes it slightly less striking (which is good!)

[@danielleleclaire717]

Excellent exercice, merci!!!

[@jonahmiller7]

I see your podcast is on Apple. Do you put it out for Android as well? Just started a new job and I'm planning on buying your frustration free watercolor course when my paychecks get regular again and I'm caught up on bills. Love your channel. You keep me sane.

[@somendra_wpradhan8638]

Excellent - simple yet so real

[@barbaraonisko8989]

Sooo good... love your explaining as u go. Very helpful.

[@joycewhitney1953]

This was very useful for me, thank you

[@barbarapowell9905]

Extremely helpful, Thank You.

[@calrmecenas]

Wonderful 🖌🖌

[@bessiesegal5885]

Thank you very much, Liron, that was such a helpful video!

[@cherie_colours]

Thanks Liron for this video-it looks good and fun to try. I am a beginner and had a look at your course. Is it possible for you to do a trailer/video on some examples of what you would be doing on the course to give me a better idea of what’s involved? I’m having trouble with using too much paint or too much water! I guess it’s practice. There’s not too many videos for beginners. Not everyone wants to paint peonies! (I’m useless at florals.) I’ll try this video as it seemed doable. Thanks!

[@deniseturnbull8254]

great instructioin!

[@VinodhiniDinesh]

Woooow superb liron. Will try this one

[@ChandraShekhar-sl8sf]

Very nice tutorial, thanks.

[@michelleannette7994]

Hi Liran, I'm interested in your frustrastion free watercolor course. What does it entail? I'm just learning. Have only been at it a year, and am working through a traumatic brain injury. Im using painting as therapy, but i absolutely love watching you paint. Hoping I can possibly learn to do your techniques from this course?? What do you think? Thanks, michelle

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Michelle 😊🙏🏼 The FFW course is about a method for letting go, enjoying the process and getting the results you're interested in. I go at it using a process called F.A.S.P. - First - establishing Freedom - Second - Automating the process - making it less stressful and easier - Third is Skills - the actual techniques to practice in order to get watercolor to do what you want - Last is Process - how to tie it all together. You can watch this video to learn more about it: bit.ly/2mAaHihYT And I'll mention there's a 30 days money back guarantee, so nothing to loose if you give it a try (it's officially 30 days, but I pretty much refund any request haha). Let me know if you end up getting it ^_^

[@jscook54]

That was a excellent. Keep up the good work.

[@nikkilacroix910]

so so awesome! Thank you!

[@mpm6760]

hi liron. thanks for this awesome tutorial. i m wondering if you painted flat or on an angle? so, using only mid tones and white of paper, i should see only 2 values if i squint? or does the mingling of colors create a neutral that reads as a dark value? 'cus i see darker values in the shorts of the 3 people. thats why im thinkn you worked at an angle. hope youre having a good time in the big apple. a well deserved vacation for you my friend.

[@leilahassani2988]

this was very useful, thank you!

[@engleharddinglefester4285]

Hi Liron how long is the course? Excellent lesson today too. I'm starting it now...

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😊🙏🏼 About 4.5 hours long (: I intended for it to be 2-3 hours long, but I talk a lot 😂

[@JaviCarmona]

Amazing water color!!

[@LironYan]

[@patriciadewit]

Thank-you! This is so helpful!

[@t2terri]

Course on frustration free watercolor..... where is it? Please leave url..... or directions for getting there. I m interested, when’re red or pay for.

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😊🙏🏼 please check out the video’s description - it’s the first link (;

[@zerocalvin]

I wonder if you can do this with landscape...

[@cookingdownsouthwithcarol8909]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@monica-NJ-123]

Do you use a pencil ? What kind is it ? My paintings look dirty when I use a pencil and then paint over it .

[@Aquarellina]

I don't think the lighting situation, while you paint, does your painting justice. I know you don't use any super intense colours but on the video they look just dark with no variation. I can see the colours well in the beginning and end of the video where you hold the painting next to your head. I struggled with this in my videos too, but it's good to have multiple light sources if your don't want to over-edit your video.

[@andrewwylie3304]

Liron I'm a bit wary of this whole 'temperature' concept, especially people who talk about 'a cool red' or 'a warm blue'. I know what they mean technically but what is the purpose of this classification? Fundamentally this analogy of temperature is about the perception that warm colours come forward and cool ones recede. However a violet blue does not come forward and a magenta red does not recede, so there is no point to classifying each primary as having cool and warm versions. Zbukvic does not do so. Andrew

[@anneadamczewski4187]

Great video!

Super Dope thank you

From Holland: thanks for your video about temperature and colours and that shadow! It helped me a lot! I'm gonna look for other video's!

[@tinamarinelli4325]

[@Bushy-73]

First time (I think) seen you use a blunt pencil.

[@Gigiridgway]

I can’t find the video you made with a white car in raining day

[@LironYan]

Here it is! (: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4u3kmqiqthqm5I

I wish I could draw that fast, and that good.
