    You enjoy the sound of rain?! I guess it must not rain much in Israel? :) Try living in Ireland, where it rains every day and let me know how you feel about the rain then. :P
    Really informative video, Liron. :)

    • @LironYan

      Haha, I’ll admit we don’t get much rain here, and it seems the winters become shorter and shorter with every year that goes 😛 I hope to visit there one day!

    • @Tennishead21
      @Tennishead21 6 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      I think we have the opposite problem. It seems Irish winters are getting longer and longer with each passing year! It is March and there is still ice and snow on the ground!
      You would be most welcome to visit if you can manage the rain. :)
      Did you ever get the email I sent you about Schmincke paints?

    Thanks so much. This video was so helpful for me. Don't ever think you're breaking things down too much, or that we're bored when you go over the same thing repeatedly. You are a very gifted teacher!

    I am two minutes and seven seconds into my first taste of your videos, and I already know I will be coming back for more. Why? It's a) your command of the language of artmaking, and b) your effortless blend of seriousness and humor, and c) ....well, I'll let you know as soon as I've digested a couple more of your posts, but I'm certain there will be more. Well done, Liron, and thanks.

    I have watched a lot of blending videos and the results you get with that technique was really eye - opening. Don’t ever think you’re being too basic!

    Always worth spending time to practice blending, and all the other techniques, Liron. Beautiful green, btw. Keep up the great work in sharing knowledge.

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you (:
      There was a time I would do a basic exercise before every painting session.
      So I would start with blending / value matching / similar things, and then start painting. I find this to be very helpful for improving AND warming up 😁🎨

    • @SeanTWright
      @SeanTWright 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, I also practice, even today, especially outdoor painting. I also am a fan of the preliminary sketch or two of a subject, before making a final decision on which composition to paint. Keep up the great vids!

  • @milenabdesign

  • @cmeblu75
    @cmeblu75 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think it’s really important that you take your time. I know most people want quick videos, but that doesn’t help those of us who are learning. So the long explanations are necessary, very important and I’m very grateful. I’m definitely new, but try every day for showing depth, blending and of course making objects look shiny. This is my constant practice. Thank you for the videos

  • @antiachen5032
    @antiachen5032 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    It is very clear for how you control the amount of water, I really need this, many videos they just apply color but they do not really show how much water they are using and is there paint on the brush, I think it is very important to a totally beginner like me. Thank you very much and now I am doing this training all the time and trying to make my circles to have as smooth as transition as possible.

    • @LironYan

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Full on wet-in-wet has its uses too. But I indeed find that this is better done wet on dry (:

  • @marysu4
    @marysu4 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's never a bad thing to go back to basics! Sometimes one can get a little sloppy or forgetful and problems start happening that are hard to fix. A good return to basics reminds you what you are doing "wrong" to make the problem happen. Loving your approach so much! Thanks for sharing!

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      So true! I feel like I will soon go through another "cycle" of going back to basics (:

    I love the sound of the rain. I live in a city near Phoenix, Arizona, USA so its pretty dry hear all the time and doesn't rain often, but when it does it pours and I love it. Great painting weather :) of course if you paint as much as I do (and I think you do) all weather is great painting weather. Anyway, great topic. Its good to get back to the basics sometimes.

I fell in love with watercolour many years ago (since Atanur Doğan founded International Watercolour society in 2011) but there were not enough educational sources then. So, I quit-I was so frustrated with the results. In the past few months, I started again and I realized that there are plenty of sources. Thank you so much! You are a great teacher!

      It's one of the most important things to "get" in watercolor. Once you do - it becomes intuitive very fast.

  • @helenh2782
    @helenh2782 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you Liron for making this so understandable. As someone new to watercolor everything seems a little daunting. The way you showed this process makes it so much more attainable. We just need to practice practice and then practice some more. I found your explanation of the way you dried your brush in-between each application of paint a light bulb moment for me. Just those little things of how much water to use or take away is fantastic.Take care.

    Like this video! I’m pretty new and all this water control is fundamental. I struggled with hard lines for a while and ended up overworking it to “salvage” it (people like to say watercolouring is forgiving) so I was real frustrated. Now I realize it’s the paper quality and control of wetness of brush. Very helpful. Thanks!

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am just getting into watercolor. I have blended with colored pencils which I have been dabbling with for 4 years and before that I worked in oils for 12 years, which I liked. So blending in watercolor is a little different. Thank you for this video. It gives me something to practice with. I enjoyed it very much.

    I'm glad that I watched clear to the end. I think I've mastered wet on wet after years of doing it that way... but this really taught me the difference of blending using wet on dry, and I found it VERY helpful. I've been enjoying all your videos. Thank you.

    Thank you for making this lesson very clear and showing the right and wrong way to do it. I wasn’t wiping off my brush so the paint was spilling out too much. I will try it again to see the difference.

    • @LironYan

    Just finding you and I’m so glad I did. Thank you for showing all of the elements, i.e. the paint, the water, the towel, what you’re doing with your brush when it isn’t on the paper. For a newbie, this is so helpful.

      I was initially afraid that some will feel like it's redundant (I don't haha) or too simple.
      I'm happy to see many needed that (:

    Thank you! I'm new to watercoloring and this was a short and straight to the point on how to blend properly. I was doing the wet-on-wet and was so frustrated with not being able to control the flow (which is okay for certain projects). Thanks again, I look forward to watching more.
