Painting in monochrome seems like a great way for beginners to paint. It teaches you about the relationship between value and form. I am going to play around with this a lot I think. Thank you.
I prefer the negative first approach; it captures the light and shadow and shows the beauty of transparent watercolour, I think. Another great lesson, thank you 😊.
Liron... I have to thank you because after all the creeping I do on the tube, I always seem to find the answers I need to expand my knowledge. We all need to know theory. This was basic but so important. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the time you take.
I took a negative painting class and it was very different, much more controlled. I liked that way, but also like the loose and quick way you did it, which focused on the shadows and allowed things to be easily connected. I'll try your way, too.
Thank you! That was really eye opening for me to see them side by side. The method is a twister to do them back to back. It felt like a rewarding workout.
The light to dark looked more natural to do, to me. However, now that you explain it this way, I realize my method is a mix of both. Now I need to stop doiing that and I thank you for another great video.
I usually do type 2 and didn't think I'd like the negative painting as much as I do, but it is so cohesive. I really like it. Thank you for existing, this helps a ton.
Thank you Liron, I will do. Your tutorials have helped me so much in getting to understand and practice the deferent concepts/skills in watercolor painting. Keep up the great work, it's much appreciated. 🌟
i really liked this video :D I watched it TWICE once in Igtv and then on youtube. I really like your IGTV videos since we are getting a closer look into the painting process, and then there is the youtube video where there are info on the description. I really like your videos on general, thank you so much for sharing so much. (edit : I don't like your videos I love) them
Great demonstration of the two techniques, Liron. On this occasion I think the first approach delivered the most 'oomph' factor - but I can see that at other times the second approach might work better. As you say, though, it's good to have options - and to understand what each option involves! Another great lesson - thanks for sharing, Brian.
I'm going to try these exercises, excellent teaching video, Ive been working hard at negative painting with watercolor because it takes me away from an acrylic mindset of going dark to light. This helps me be more aware of my values. Thank you from Canada my friend🙏🙏 and if I can ever afford to travel in future years I hope to come paint with you in a workshop someday
Oh ps. I live the way you connect your paintings I feel this has brought uniformity to my paintings, things no longer look awkward like it's just popping out, it part of the scene, hope that makes sense xo
Hi liron. This is one of your best yet! I usually paint with acrylics so negative version probably will work best. I tried a quick version if each and they were both interesting and came out noticeably different. Thanks!
Very interesting again. I have a preference for the negative method which always gives surprising results ( in the pretty sense). But you still have to try it and not be afraid to go for it...! Thank you for this comparison and congratulations again.
Great video. Really useful as this is the method I may use to paint a portrait. What's your opinion on having a visible pencil drawing underneath the paint vs drawing/painting with the brush?
Thank you 😊🙏🏼 I have no issues with pencil lines showing, to me it's part of the art. There are of course ways of eliminating that. I actually wanted to experiment with them just to try it out, but so far I've been enjoying the pencil lines being visible (:
Excellent video and very helpful for learning. I have a basic question, what should be the standerd size of water colour painting. Which will be controllable for beginners.
Found this very helpful you helped me understand values a lot more as a beginner. I am finding your tutorials very helpful you have helped me understand a lot in this tutorial that I felt I struggled to get my head around 👍

Thank you again, painting with one colour is a very good lesson in shadows for me!
Nice work, mate. Thumbs up!
This was fantastic to watch… I feel like I’ve really come away with more knowledge and direction! Thankyou.
So happy to hear - Made my day! 😊

Haha it’s indeed a really good exercise 😁 And a different challenging way of looking at things
I painted along with the video, I prefer the first way as a newbie. It was easier. It turned out very dynamic I was so proud of the finished piece.
The light to dark looked more natural to do, to me. However, now that you explain it this way, I realize my method is a mix of both. Now I need to stop doiing that and I thank you for another great video.
Happy to help! (:
My approach is also a mix.
Depending on the reference - different parts will require different approaches.
Another great demo Liron, thanks for sharing

Awesome video very helpful to gain clarity and naming of the two methods. For me it was an important building block
Thank you Mr. Yanconsky... very informative...
Thank you. As a beginner I think I've been using both methods on different parts of my paintings and not realized. Will now give it more thought.
So happy to hear, let me know how it goes! (:

Thank you so much Angie! Would love to 😊🙏🏼
Very happy you enjoyed this one and found it helpful (:
I also like the negative painting better. Interesting video thanks

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Indeed trying out both can be rewarding! Teaches you when to use a different one
Thanks Liron, it was a good video.
My pleasure 😊🙏🏼 Thank you for watching!
Hey! Here's the Sander's guesser from today (-: thanks for the tutorials and your advice about DS!
Haha amazing 😉 Happy I could help and feel free to visit again! 😁🎨
This is so helpful, thank you!
Good one Lyron, thanks!
I would like to see your take on highlights, shadows and reflections, like it happens on glossy objects.
Thank you so much ♥️
