Watercolor Painting Tutorial - How to Paint a Rural Scene

[@boodo168]

I've watched your vids for a long time and this time I wanted to encourage you to continue these type of vids. I felt like I was part of the painting in a way. I've been painting for about 20 years, only 6 in watercolor. I have so much to learn and you are a great teacher. I lived in Israel for 5 years and I love seeing familiar scenes once in a while. Keep being YOU.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I have another real-time tutorial coming out today, and another one planned out. So a lot to expect 😁🎨

[@boodo168]

@@LironYan I am going to see it ASAP. Good news. Shalom

[@larrymarshall9454]

I love real time videos, whether they be voiced in real time or using voice over. Just as much I dislike time-lapse. Great tutorial, Liron

[@LironYan]

Thank you for letting me know 😊🙏🏼 Another one coming out today, and another one planned for afterwards

[@suecarrel]

I have been working with watercolor paints for 3 months, took five lessons on landscape painting, was frustrated, then found your videos. Thank you for your demos, your lessons on perspective and drawing people and your urban landscapes. I live right in Chicago and you gave me the courage to try to paint an intersection in the Loop right after it rained! I attempted it twice, got better the second time but have far to go. I even painted people and a CAR! Thank you for sharing your talent but most of all your teaching. I like this type of demo and am amazed at all you create.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I am so happy to hear these gave you courage to try this! Plus, you did really well doing the same scene twice. It really does help and improve every iteration. I have several other similar vids on the way, including one that will be out in 30 minutes or so 😉

[@1000Zebedee]

I have recently started watercolour painting and your tutorials are really helping me with my challenges. Please continue your wonderful narration with the tutorials, it blends the painting together to make sense. Well done Liron.

[@LironYan]

Definitely going to continue, thank you so much 😊🙏🏼

[@nauci]

I FIEND KZbin art tutorials; after dozens of hours of watercolor content, this has been the most informative one on the site! Most "tutorials" are more a list of steps with a time lapse. The care you take to explain your thought process is much appreciated!!! Thank you so much!

[@LironYan]

Wow, thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 A huge compliment - so happy I can help!

[@artieross9537]

Yes, yes, yes! It would be nice to watch more of these real time tutorials, Liron. Thanks!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 More on the way 🎨 Including today’s vid!

[@cheapchippy]

I agree Jared - I love your narration / description Liron - glad Ive found your videos.

[@LironYan]

So happy to have you onboard (:

[@brodouglasop]

Wonderful, Liron. I especially like narrated tutorials, so this is spot on. Thank you.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Another one coming out today! 🎨🎨

[@gailcheck8611]

Liron, Watching you draw and paint and think and explain in real-time is such a treat! I can’t wait for the next one! Thank you so much for your expert instruction delivered in such a personal, engaging way.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Another real time vid will be out today (:

[@lewisroadstudio9270]

Tutorials will be good. Another fine painting. I like the highlights and shadows, choice of colors and brush technique. By hearing your thought process, we are learning as you paint.

[@LironYan]

Thank you, so happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Another real time will be out today (:

[@jcneedles388]

Yes to the tutorials for the next few. Very well done.

[@LironYan]

Another full tutorial coming out today! 😁😊🎨

[@tomeetomee4913]

"Real Time" a great lesson,especially for a beginner like me. The actual time and pace of creating is actually revealed. Really understanding the process is lost on the videos that speed up. Your dialog while creating while difficult for you is so helpful. I've mentioned before but i love the subjects you find ,just the everyday routine and it seems so relevant. A lesson in learning how to see the possibilities around us. thanks , tom

[@LironYan]

I remember - I was so happy to hear the subjects themselves are appreciated 😊🙏🏼 I get many comments about how unusual they are sometimes. And this is great feedback - I see that so many prefer real-time. I actually consider (almost) never doing a time-lapse again 😂

[@chrismartensen1841]

Yes, real time tutorials!!! The quick process is a Bonus!! Thanks Liron

[@LironYan]

You got it! More on the way ^_^

[@margaretmartin6620]

I agree with Jared. You are a natural at this. So good. What a great job! I love watching your work and techniques, along with the tips as you go along. Thank you. I would like to see these tutorials more often if you would like to do them.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Will try and do more of these! They are fun and come naturally for me at the moment (:

[@adamhallberg8252]

Hello Liron! Thank you for these narrated full process videos! They are truly great for me as a beginner in the watercolor medium. It really helps hearing your thought process and seeing how you interpret the reference material. I would love to see you do one of these videos where you paint a winter scene!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy to hear. For some reason (probably the weather in Israel) I barely do winter scenes. But I promise to do one soon!

[@valariegriffin208]

Ive just lately discovered you, and Im bursting with enthusiasm, held a brush & did this painting earlier! .I haven't held a brush in over a year! Youre an amazing teacher, & I thank you soo much for sharing your wonderful. gift with us...!!. I love youf talkingbus through wen u paint in real-time.. Keep it up. 🙏👍😍🎨

[@LironYan]

😁😁 Thank you so much & welcome aboard!

[@davidtrujillo993]

This one was great. The people came nice and the values are my favorite part love looking at it.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy to hear! The people were definitely an improvement from the previous version.

[@tericarter2886]

I enjoy all of your productions They are all very educational, however , this one was the most helpful to me as I try to improve my own work Thanks for this and please do more I also enjoyed the rural scene for a change -I love the country life

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 More real time tutorials on the way!

[@jbow68]

I love your instruction, Liron! So much. One of the best if not The Best. Thank you!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 More real time on the way!

[@jandersson2053]

Love, love, love this! A marathon would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for letting us "pick your brain" while painting!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 A marathon it will be indeed 😉 Got another one planned to be out tomorrow, as well as another one for the one after

[@CanuckJim]

Yes!! That was one of the best tutorial video's I've seen in ages. I'm all for a week or two of this type - I know you said you struggled to talk and paint but understanding your thinking while you work is a BIG plus. Thanks for this one!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😁🙏🏼 Very happy to hear! Another one will be out today, and I have another one planned out, so more on the way!

[@danthomas6587]

I'm blown away. Nice piece.

Liron, I have been watching your videos for about a year. I have learned so much technique from them. Keep up the great work. This format is terrific.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I'll post many more like this one! 2 more are already out, and another new one I think you'll really like will be out in a few hours 🎨

[@rashmitamhankar853]

Nicely explained about composition as well as dark places. I have done this and quite satisfied. Thanks a lot for your valuable contribution.

[@LironYan]

So happy I could help 😊🙏🏼

[@DavZell]

I like this format and would enjoy you doing more. Also, I liked the sky the way you did it originally. Not everything has to be soft / wet-in-wet.

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Another full tutorial will be out today!

[@joannemiddaugh122]

I want to see more tutorials like this Liron. I love this painting and really appreciate your explanation of what you are doing in real time.

Good job Liron! I think you're going to be a great painter (and even a better teacher) in a few years. Just go on!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much my friend 😊🙏🏼

[@KaushikBiswasMagic]

This tutorial really helped me to learn how to paint in watercolor. Thanks a lot and please continue with such tutorials in future.

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😁🙏🏼🙏🏼 Many more on the way!

[@gatorlana]

I enjoyed this video very much! Your explanations are very easy to understand, and your loose strokes, which are so hard for me, look easy. Your paintings are beautiful and inspirational.

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear I could help! Thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@ruthbowe9295]

I like how it looks like it isn’t working, then it’s working, no it isn’t working, and then it works. Lol, it lets me know to finish what I start an see what happens. I say yes to real time. Thanks Liron 😊

[@LironYan]

Haha that’s what it’s all about 😉 You have to stick to the painting process till it’s either ruined or it’s a glorious victory 😁🎨

[@belladini4754]

Beautiful painting, I like your style and I really dig these real time tutorials narrated...I learn the most. I’ve liked how you make your trees and now I see how you make them. Thank you for sharing and teaching. Please continue to make these.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy to hear. More on the way!

[@JC-uy3le]

Enjoyed this session. This style of tutorial is very informative. Shows how to make quick decisions and processes while painting in real time. Loved you brought in perspective concepts while drawing. Looking forward to more.

[@LironYan]

Thank you JC! 😁So glad this vid resonated

[@michelleflick1937]

Great picture and enjoyed seeing and hearing you create it. That is one tiny dog.

Thank you Liron! - If you will be offering classes when in the US this year- please provide info!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 So happy you enjoyed this one! More on the way

[@rachelm7525]

What a lovely scene. I really like real-time tutorials provided it's not too distacting for you to talk while painting. To be honest, it's something I often do even though nobody's listening! Haha! 😀

[@LironYan]

Haha I sometimes do that too 😂 I narrate for myself. Planning on doing more of these, including one that will be out today 😁🎨

[@sandrapatterson5240]

I like these. It is helpful to listen to your thought process.

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 More on the way! 😁🎨

[@mekkymilliken2564]

Hi Liron, I really enjoyed watching your video for the first time; you are quite talented and I have a lot to learn from you. Yes sir, please continue the tutorials in real time; that makes a huge difference

[@lorimcclain7270]

I liked your loose technique and mix of colors..I hope you do more.

[@timk.1395]

This is one of my favorite paintings of yours. The colors are awesome and I like how it looks.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy you found this one helpful!

[@beckytucker2152]

I really enjoyed the whole process. Would like to see more of these!

[@LironYan]

More one the way 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@karensurber3744]

Really enjoyed this real time tutorial. Would be on board for the idea of you doing a series of these right now. The added layer of narrating as you go has improved your focus. Such a large part of your mind is being required to both physically create the painting and explain what you're doing that less is available for the random, disconnected thoughts that tend to distract from the clarity and focus when you narrate after the fact. This makes for a more powerful presentation. Great work!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 More real-time tutorials including today’s vid! 🎨

[@alisonlister1372]

Love this. Thanks, I’m just starting out and really need to see how it is done!

Great demo video, picked up lots of tips and ideas. You're a great teacher

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy you found it helpful!

[@tdous]

You have so many videos and I've been enjoying them even without ever painting - though you've inspired me to get some paint and give it a try - so I don't know if in the 2 years since this you've done a lot of real-time painting, but I do love that. I much prefer it to the typical KZbin timelapse stuff which is flashy but I think teaches so much less. If people want that, increase the video speed and put your own music one... IMO! Thanks Liron

[@myrnaluswenson4354]

Yes please, real time tutorials. Thank you for your time.

[@LironYan]

More on the way! Thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@monopinion8799]

[@subhashnisarta3496]

Thank you so much Liron, for your demonstration, you have made a good water 🌊💦 colour painting 🖌️🎨 and making good progress, I have also seen your 🎁 others 💦🌊 water colour painting 🖌️🎨 which is also too much 👿 improved then before. I am also learning like that. So happy to see your 🎁 guidance as well as your 🎁 help 🆘 in my work with you and thanks 🫂😊 again for your time and consideration with me.

[@Carem44]

I really enjoyed this and learned a lot.

[@Cafewatercolor]

This is great :) I’ve been doing live stream as a way to add more contents on my channel without doing much editing works. The only thing is I usually needs an hour and 1/2 to finish a painting so some people might find it too long.

[@LironYan]

That's a great idea too (: My only fear is not knowing what the painting will end up like, so I don't want to waste viewers' time on an inferior piece 😂 I have to work on my confidence in that regard.

[@Cafewatercolor]

Oh, yeah I’ll usually say if it doesn’t turn up well I just won’t keep it on my channel and we all pretend we didn’t see that 😁🤣

[@rikardogibola1312]

Great work Liron

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 😊🙏🏼

[@JaredCullum]

Jeez liron- you continue to be one of the best tutorial makers on here. Really really enjoying this. About halfway through but you do a great job of a continued narration with thoughtful and wise advice. I struggle with editing my voice over to cut out stutters and Uhh’s. Love this. Alright- now back to watching :)

[@Cafewatercolor]

Jared Loves to Draw it helps to write a script first if you are doing voice over :) it takes more time though.

[@JaredCullum]

Café Watercolor I usually consider before-hand the type of thing I’m trying to say with the video- but for me- I’m just not a very smart or articulate person haha I don’t speak well so i have to have my hand on the pause button the whole time as I go haha I get a little better as I go though- I think. I hope hahaha

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I had a lot of uhhs and umms when I got started (and people DEFINITELY let me know in the comments 😂). I would say don't worry about it and keep doing it. My narration just improved with time, and it's much smoother than in the past. By the way - your latest demo is 🏆🔥🔥🎨

[@JaredCullum]

Liron Yanconsky I appreciate the encouragement. Your channel, enthusiasm and ambition were a big catalyst for starting mine. :) you too, Cafe! :)

[@BetsyRoutmanMarks]

Good god Jared! You certainly do not come off the way you describe yourself! Your videos are so packed with information that I have (want) to watch them several times in order to absorb how you visualize light and shadows!

[@francoforleo4971]

Hi Liron, I've only recently started watching your tutorials and have enjoyed all the ones I've watched thus far.... This one being my favourite... So it's thumbs up from me .... Your honest commentary is very reassuring as I for one have some anxieties when painting and it's comforting to know that it's a common sentiment . 🙏🙏🙏

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I know real-time has significant value, I’m posting another one today 🎨 And have another one planned next

[@_bellatrix_659]

Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.... 🤗Would love to see more especially for a budding artist like me

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Neha 😊🙏🏼 Got tons of similar tutorials, and more on the way!

[@jackiesgallery7975]

Awesome tutorials, very helpful!

[@LironYan]

Happy to hear this helped 😊🙏🏼 Thank you so much!

[@danielmcgowan4970]

Hi Liron, quite a time since I have seen one of your videos. I must say congratulations on your wonderful improvement in your painting ability. Really shows how hard work can pay off and you are now reaping the rewards. Well done and good luck to you. Sincerely, Daniel McGowan

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much Daniel 😊🙏🏼 I keep finding new heights, so there's still a long way to go as well 😉🎨

[@silvanocece1365]

What up friend- good work Liron. Marvel at the amount of time you are able to spend on you KZbin videos ✍️🎨👌😊

[@LironYan]

😂😂 Thank you, more similar vids on the way! 😊🙏🏼🎨

[@suzanneyoung3066]

Very nice. I love watching. I would love to see finished painting with tape off in the end.😁

[@LironYan]

Will try and soon share them without the tape, here and on Instagram. Thank you! 😊🙏🏼

[@smilebrightly3666]

😁😍 Yes! Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to give this a go!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear, let me know how it goes 😁😁

[@shedriver23]

@Liron I must say that it appears you have finally found your niche. These demonstrative real time videos seem to be what is missing from KZbin. You are finally fully flowing in showing your true skill. These videos are very informative and interesting. This is what will sell your products because we can SEE that what you print is also doable for others via your insight as you do it. The length of your videos are also great with the content. To hear the thought process EXCEEDS the all annoying music that most publishers use these days. That is one of the biggest reasons why most videos are not watched in its entirety...the content may be interesting, but if the soundtrack is not one fit all, MOST WILL GO...so I’d much rather hear the reason behind a process with GREAT CONTENT! Thank you! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very valuable feedback and I'll try doing more of these long, full process (: I posted 5 others following this one, in cased you missed them!

[@shedriver23]

I actually binge watched them all...😬😬 needless to say, I'm about to watch them again. I did a painting afterwards and I understood so much clearer where I was going wrong. Thank you so much for sharing all of your insight. I look forward to supporting you by purchasing your products and sharing your content with my best friend, who doesn't even do art, yet she makes sure to watch and like your content. Any input you can give on how to better make my paintings less photo duplicates would be greatly appreciated. This is why I will be doing a binge part 2...looking to improve.✍🏽😏

[@chandrasekhar3979]

You are awesome thank you for such wonderful tutorial

[@LironYan]

My pleasure, thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@conniehenricksen9533]

BRAVO!!!!!!

[@billmartin3561]

Love this format!

[@btwilks]

Absolutely loved this one, Liron - and got much valuable information from it too! Personally I'd be very happy to see you do a series of these longer, in-depth demonstrations (and judging by the comments you've already received, so would many of your other followers). Incidentally, I see that while I've been away from Y/Tube for a few days, you've posted a few other videos that I need to go and watch - so, to coin a phrase, I'll see you in the next video! All the best, Brian.

[@LironYan]

Thank you Brian 😁🙏🏼 I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos too! Today I’m releasing another long tutorial that I think you’ll like 😊🎨

[@marthawagoner1737]

Love this segment. Please do more actual painting

[@LironYan]

More on the way, including today’s vid 😁🎨 Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@magdalenakruczkowska9937]

Great video, love your style. Best part is that you INCLUDE reference photo!! Most tutors don't include the reference photo, while the biggest challenge of students is figuring out how to transfer what they see to paper. Thank you.

[@Bushy-73]

I love these real time narrated videos, I say for you to do more BUT continue to do the painting masters and the paint show. Keep up the good work. How about a live video something short to try as a start.

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Will continue doing more of everything 😉🎨✏️

[@sweethomes674]

Nice sketching and explanations 😊

[@ramyahegde]

Thank you for this tutorial! It was really insightful and loved how you built up the painting. Looking forward to more such videos :)

[@LironYan]

Will keep it up 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@l.beukema8570]

Great video and amazing painting! I prefer listening to you painting realtime, you are more present with the painting and your decision proces, which is more interesting to me. I understand it is harder for you to paint this way, but it is worth the trouble I think!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 So happy to hear, I’m posting another real-time tutorial today!

[@kier5842]

Very interesting and informative. Thank you. I have subscribed

[@LironYan]

Thank you and welcome aboard 😊🙏🏼

[@danthomas6587]

Go for it

[@LironYan]

😁

[@Drumaier]

Liron don't you find that sometimes is better to lose a little of the contrast gained with very dark darks in watercolor, so the painting looks lighter? Whenever i go for the heavy darks my paintings seem to just die on me and i regret that i didn't leave it alone when was looking a lot fresher (even if the contrast are not as great as could be).

[@LironYan]

I definitely do find that (: I’m actually working on toning it down a little. In my last couple of works (statues series) I saved the darks for some small details, and filled the backgrounds with more of mid-values. Do what looks and feels good for you 😊👍🎨

[@Drumaier]

@@LironYan thanks a lot Liron! Your videos are great btw, both the info you share but also the vibe you have is very uplifting. Cheers.

[@401files4]

What was the thought process behind painting the top part of the left building blue? Also why paint everything orange to start with? Pleassseeee help! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@LironYan]

Haha, this comes down to personal choice and taste (: I love to break everything down to simple colors. I look at a cool and ask myself - "Is it a red, a blue or a yellow? Then I go with that! Later on you can dim it by layering a different color 😉🎨 And specifically about the top part of the left building - there's a shadow there, so I thought it would be interesting to show a transition from cool to warm on the lower part of the wall.

[@401files4]

Liron Yanconsky thank you this was very helpful

[@401files4]

Liron Yanconsky so the tree & floor area that you painted an orange colour first. You asked yourself is this tree a red? Blue? Or yellow? 😩 I thought trees were green. What am I missing ? 😔

[@LironYan]

@@401files4 It's very simple actually! (: The trees' green is made of yellow and blue. The thing is, I love to convey the sunlight and even exaggerate it. So using yellow seemed to be the better choice. Plus - it's easy turning pure light yellow into a dark blue / green, but it's very hard to layer light yellow on top of naturally darker blue. So I ALMOST ALWAYS put in the yellows before the blues (remember watercolor are transparent generally speaking, unlike oils when you can place white on black and bring back a highlight / light value). Same for the ground - I wanted to start with a light yellow, then I can darken it with the naturally darker reds and blues. And a final note - this also has to do with how I see things personally, my own impression. Others may see it differently and use different paints - which is 100% okay, and even recommended (; I hope this is helpful!

[@401files4]

Liron Yanconsky again, thank you so much 🙌🏻🙏🏻
