In today’s video I’m sharing with you a painting I’ve been working on in private initially.
I want to share with you one of the most challenging yet rewarding stages of the process - adding the shadows.
I’ve been asked about this a lot in the past, and I want to focus a bit on that, the mixing and the application of paint.
I also made sure to include the names of the paints this time haha 😂

I’m in panic mode when I use water colors ( not well). You doing it while talking is most impressive:)
Man your channel is a treasure trove!
Pls do more realtime painting/ explanation
Will do 🙏🏼
Great tutorial. Love the phrase “Have mercy on the viewer”😅
Haha (:
Watch your videos a lot and this has been one of my favorites. Love how you allowed and encouraged us to paint along with you. I like to watch tutorials all the way through and then go back and paint along. I will definitely be trying my hand at this one. Thanks so much and please post more videos like this one!!
Loved the format of this video
I have been painting many many years. But your demo on sharing was Will worth watching. You never stop learning in art.THANK YOU
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼
I love shadows on buildings, my kind of painting subject, thanks for sharing Liron 👍
Happy to watching your skies for beginners love your style
You are a pretty good teacher mister! Thank you so much again for this lesson, you make it look so easy to achieve! You are my today’s discovery 😊
Great painting. I admire the way you let the wet paint flow down your painting :o)
You are a great artist and a fantastic teacher!! Thank you.
Thankyou sir
Beautiful Liron! Hope it sells for you, it's a perfect example of the strengths of watercolor.
I still find it hard to do backlit foreground with sunset in background. When the sun sets over the ocean and I am standing back looking at it through trees, I don't want the trees to be black but I need to capture the essence of sunset and dusk.
Great question! Try going for a higher key for everything, so that you don’t have to go super dark on the trees (:
Often things are lighter than they seem!
Thank you for such a useful demonstration. I found the variation in colour temperature you used in your mixes especially interesting. Love the painting too.
Struggling with shadows right now :P I love how your painting turned out, it's beautiful
Yorgeea? Oh right!! Love your vids- so helpful in the days of remote school art class. Even our teacher has directed the class to your vids. Appreciate all your time.
YES FINALLY! I've needed a real time tutorial like this for a long while but couldn't really find one. Thanks soo much!
Well. .ding dang diggity dang! I love it!!! The depth. The dimensionality. It draws me inwards. The warmth is good. I like the shadows. Good show.
What an insightful video..!! When you started with shadows, the front wall looked so dark that I was worried. Knowing what value a color will have after drying and how thick your paint should be, these are the hardest part of learning watercolor and this video was very helpful for the same.
Beautiful work
Liron, you make me HAVE to paint! Brilliantly done!
You are an amazing artist!!👏🏻👏🏻
Very helpful thank you. Learned a lot from it.
Thank you for so nice tutorial👍👍😃😃😃
I recently started following your channel. This video has been the best among the recent ones that I have seen on TH-cam posted by any other artist. Really appreciate your tutorials...Thank you for sharing!!
So nicely explained. Great help. Thank you.
Very happy to hear 🙏😊 Thank you for watching!
Dont worry so much about audio!😅 Its super helpful video!!!
Thank you so much!😊
Thank you.
Very informative for me as a begginer
Thank you, Liron! This was very helpful and fun to follow along with...I am learning much!
Great demo,I learned a lot about mixing enough paint and changing shadows from warm to cool. Thank you.
Beautiful !
Excellent, thank you Liron.
Very practical lesson on shadows , thanks Liron!
I love this video, it reminds me that i have to work on large washes again!
love your real time ones
thank you
Great vid, Liron! 🙂
Great video! I like watching how you work.🖌️
Beautifully done:)
Just found you today and I am so glad! I look forward to applying some of your teaching to my own paintings.
Wow so cool to hear, welcome aboard and thank you so much 😊🙏🏼
Let me know how it goes 🎨🎨
I always struggle to drop in shadows & in this video can at least see where they should be!
You make it look so easy but know part of my problem is water ratio to paint but keep trying! Ty
Real time is great because it conveys the frenetic mindset of a painter while considering the wide array of factors involved in creating a believable expressionistic image. You did a great job communicating what you were trying to accomplish the whole way through.
Haha that's a great way of putting it! So much goes through my mind as I paint, it's frenetic indeed (and sometimes also FRANTIC) 😁🎨
Will do more for sure! Tomorrow's vid will also be real time
I freaked out when you applied the shadow with the dark colour, but it turns out to be much lighter when it dries!
Haha yep, watercolor can be super misleading like that 😉
Very enjoyable
Really nice 👌 👍
Thanks a lot
What thy said 😎
I enjoyed this. I have been struggling with the second wash stage- getting it to look natural. Definitely will try wetter and see if that fixes my problem
It's a common challenge, I'm happy this helps in a way 😊🙏🏼
There's a lot that goes into it - shapes, values, colors, temperature. It takes some practice to get all to work together (and I also often don't manage to get ALL, but I will get 1 or 2 working really well) 😁🎨
@@LironYan Im halfway through a 3rd "draft" (which is what I am calling failed
attempts) of a tractor painting. But I decided as long as I see progress in each piece I will keep at it until I am happy with it *Sigh*
Sterling work as always Liron.
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼
bravissimo

Interesting to note the blue used for the sky is completely different. If you use photoshop, try popping the colour picker on a sky - it should be much closer to cyan than blue. Nice painting all-the-same.
Can someone say which colours were mixed to get the colour of the shadow.
Is it possible to get reference photo
14:47 you mention getting enough alone time and balancing the creative process being a challenge. I'm curious, what do you mean exactly?
I basically mean - time in which I create but don't share (:
No filming, documenting, narrating or worrying about posting the painting.
I hope that makes sense 😊
@@LironYan That does make sense! I walk the balance of those 2 things as well. As artists, we are inclined to share, but getting into deep work requires being fully engaged in the process. :D
I'm interested in your brushes. Why kind do you use?
My current favorites are Lebenzon Brushes, Escoda & Silver Black Velvet (:
ARE THERE ANY VIDEOS FOR PROPORTION BY YOU OR ANY THAT YOU WOULD RECOMMENDE US FOR SKETCHING
I love your brush s I think you have to many cud I have some poor artist in lreland pls plz plz
Mixing enough paint and water, always an issue 😒
hi Liron if I can gave you any advice for your video, you speak wrilly to much ( and there and like this and here etc etc not necessary !)
