Thanks Liron, Please realize that we learn so much from these basics. I really use your instruction to guide my daily practice. I hope you will not get burnt out from all your sharing - you are a natural teacher and I believe you’re on your way to being one of the great masters.
Thank you so much ^_^ Sometimes it's easy to forget what the basics even are. So whenever I suddenly remember - I also try to make a vid about it at some point. I'll do my best to not get burnt out (:
In my opinion, mastering these basic techniques is one of the main things that makes your paintings look clean and professional. But they are often overlooked because we prefer to paint a picture instead of learning how to put color on the paper correctly first.
It would be really nice if you did a painting using all these techniques. ^^ The video is very helpful but it would be even better if you showed what you can do with these techniques in a painting.
Happy you found this one helpful 😊 I’m actually utilizing all of these in pretty much every painting demo I share here 😉 But I may do a demo where it’s more obvious and better explained (:
Hi Liron. As a beginner I really appreciate your lesson in the basics. Water control is so difficult at first isn't it? I managed to paint a successful wash for the first time this week and that was such a wonderful moment for me as a total beginner. I love your style of painting and really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge with us.
@@LironYan Thank you, but to be honest, you are the person I learned it from. From watching you and trying out what you said, I just did what you said in an older video, and after quite a few failed attempts, I finally managed it. I have not had much time for painting as my life is very full on almost all the time, but what I have learned dorectly from you, really helped me make that wash correctly after quite z few tries! Now I want to try graduated washes and see how well I do at it. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. Putting paint on paper usually is! Thanks again. You are a total star!
Hi Liron. I found your channel over the weekend and spent several hours watching your videos. I have learned so much. You're a great teacher and I like that your not afraid to take chances and learn new things too. But your style is really amazing and I have already improved. I have a lot of medical issues and chronic pain and I had not dome much art for years. My family and Fri encouraged me to paint again and I am so glad they did. And thank you for helping me. Improve.
That was a great hint. I like to do wet on wet, but I would keep adding watered down paint to add darkness. I never thought to come in with a higher concentration of paint……Duh……Then I’d have to wait until it dried to add more pigment.This is why I will always consider myself a student of the process. Thank you, Liron.
It's all about the BASICS!!! Yaay! Thank you for remembering us beginners!! One day, could you show us how you see highlights (or differences in values)? That always makes such an impact in your paintings. Thanks for your willingness to share.
I use soft squirrel brushes, and it is tricky to dry brush with them (especially with diluted paint). I found that you can do fairly nice dry brushing with a wet squirrel brush if you twist the bristles around the brush and move the brush sideways. It might ruin the brush in the long run, but mine is fine for over a year and hold the tip perfectly well. Lifting with a different color is fun (I make the tip almost dry after loading it with concentrated paint, and then I can lift and color the area at the same time.
Found your quick review helpful as I have been ill and not painting for awhile. Better now and watching your program faithfully. Mary Conroy, Toronto. Ontario, Canada.
Always good to review the basics. And when I have a failed painting/sketch, it is almost ALWAYS because I didn't plan things out and think about those baiscs.
Liron!! Thank you! Love this set of exercises! I recently listened to your podcast with Tom Shepherd and your word of wisdom about 1 part watching and three parts doing has really resonated with me! Watching is so much fun -- BUT you are right -- actually painting is even more gratifying. ☺️ Cheers!
When you do the dry brush technique I cringe when I see you bend the bristles at a 90 degree angle. ;) I don't come from a watercolour background, but years ago I was a sign-writer (yes, painted from price tickets to billboards etc. before laser printing and vinyl-cut lettering became the norm), and my teacher would go nuts at anyone who put that amount of downward pressure onto a brush. I now have to go look at videos of other watercolorists to see whether there are differences between different types of painting & mediums and how you're supposed to hold/control a brush. [Edit: I am still using the same #12 Kolinsky Sable brush I bought as a student (cost two week's rent 40 years ao) and it's still perfect. The wood handle is a bit chewed up though ;) ]
Haha yes I could see why it would seems scary, depending on your past experience 😂 I find this way to be helpful at times, in order to produce that effect. But everyone's different so find out what works for you (; And it's amazing your brush is still perfectly functional! Despite me going a little crazy - mine also still work perfect (only 5 years but still).
Hey Liron Was your paper horizontal or slightly vertical ? The way colors blend on the number 3 wet on wet makes me think your paper was sligthly vertical...
Liron, this is great. Question: I see mixed opinions on whether your board should be tilted. [ about 45 degrees ] or flat. What do you do? Thanks, Tzipora
You got it ^_^ This really depends on how much downwards flow you want (: I find that a little tilt goes a long way. But perhaps when painting in larger sizes (like really large - 1/2 sheet and above), having a slightly larger tilt could be beneficial for having a clearer and easier to handle bead. But it really depends on what YOU enjoy more. Try out different tilts and see what works best for you 😊
I always notice how you hold your brush from the very end. Is there any "technical" reason why you do this, or is it just a habit? I tried to do the same, but it doesn't work for me as I have less control on where the brush goes. :-/
It will depend on my mood (: Sometimes I want to feel looser and increase my ease of range of motion (which isn't possible when holding the brush really close to the bristles). But sometimes when I need more control - I may hold it closer to the bristles (:

@@LironYan Thanks for replying ^^ I think that would be super helpful for myself and other peeps ^^
I learned more from this than sooo many others I've watched.
It's always good to go back to basics; for me, I've had to lay my paintbrush down for a while, so this is a refresher! 🙂
Happy the timing is good! ^_^ Thank you

Hi Liron, thanks for all your videos! They calm me down a lot and fill with joy. With best regards from Ukraine!
I can’t stress how amazing and helpful this is! Thank you very much
thank you so much! as a person who’s creative energy comes and goes, it’s always good to get a refresh on the basics
So happy this was helpful!
My creativity also fluctuates, but you learn with time to play with whatever amount you got at the moment 😊
yes!! it might even surprise us with how good it may come out
I’m excited to dedicate another sketchbook page to your lessons 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙏
Edit: your bead technique already changed my watercolor life!
Haha I’m so happy to hear, that’s really awesome!! Thank you 😊🙏🏼🎨
Liron Yanconsky I did it with one of newer DS grays, it looks so pretty 😂 love practice thank you, again!! Eye opening!
Liron taught that bead technique so well! I found it so helpful to me too!
I love how the wet-in-wet sample keeps morphing as you explain the remaining techniques!
Yes another basics video! Always very nice to listen to you explaining stuff.
Hope you have a nice day
Thank you 😊🙏🏼
Thank you you really give good tips and I love your accent!!
Haha thank you so much ^_^
Very happy to hear!

You’re a good teacher Liron. Thank you. You take the fear and uncertainty out of watercolour painting. Kind regards, Bill
Maybe you could do a video called Letting go of the fear? Sometimes it's unconscious.

Will make a video on the topic soon!
Thank you, Liron. Excellent refresher video. Hope you are beginning to enjoy the benefits of your surgery.
Thank you so much ^_^
The surgery was a miracle really. I can breath (almost) fully from both nostrils!!
I LOVE these type of teachings!!!
Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Will try and do more similar basics videos!
Thanks for these basics. Very useful for me🙏

So enlightening! I’ve got it!

Happy this was helpful Mary. I hope you feel better soon and can paint, even if just a little! ^_^
Thank you!! Understood!❤
So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!
Always good to review the basics. And when I have a failed painting/sketch, it is almost ALWAYS because I didn't plan things out and think about those baiscs.
extremely helpful. would like to see more dry brush landscaping techniques.
I have a specific vid on that as well (:

Thanks, Liron. This was great, concise, interesting. Can't wait to practice these techniques.
I'd love to have more explanation on the dry brush technique. Exactly when and for what is this used?
Here you go! (:

Thank you ^_^ So happy to hear it helps!
Thanks so much. i have been trying to find some warm up exercises to do before i start painting and this is just what I needed. Thanks
Thanks a lot Liron. Your video is really helpful and very encouraging for me to do more as a beginner.
Now make a beginner video on when to use them?
I thought negative painting used black to provide "pop" - Interesting to see how emarld green will add to my floral works -TNX
Bless you for this tutorial. 🙏
These were awesome techniques and I learned a lot.
So happy to hear! Thank you 😊
Love all your videos and ideas, Liron! You are such an inspiration! Thank you so much!

SUBSCRIBED. TY for the lessons. I'm a newbie and your content is so helpful in learning. 👏👏👏

Hey Liron
Was your paper horizontal or slightly vertical ? The way colors blend on the number 3 wet on wet makes me think your paper was sligthly vertical...
Love your videos so informative for a beginner like me. Can I ask what your preferred paper is? I like working wet in wet and line
How do you choose what brushes it is best for which technique?
Liron, this is great. Question: I see mixed opinions on whether your board should be tilted. [ about 45 degrees ] or flat. What do you do? Thanks, Tzipora
You got it ^_^
This really depends on how much downwards flow you want (:
I find that a little tilt goes a long way.
But perhaps when painting in larger sizes (like really large - 1/2 sheet and above), having a slightly larger tilt could be beneficial for having a clearer and easier to handle bead.
But it really depends on what YOU enjoy more. Try out different tilts and see what works best for you 😊
Liron, thanks for the quick reply. It makes sense ! Tzipora in Jerusalem
When to use these?
Is your linked drawing course same or different from your udemy courses? Thank you!
I always notice how you hold your brush from the very end. Is there any "technical" reason why you do this, or is it just a habit? I tried to do the same, but it doesn't work for me as I have less control on where the brush goes. :-/
