Just love your teaching skills & your absolute mastery of your craft. Thank you for so generously sharing. I too just trace the image when I'm painting portraits--- it's far less time-consuming. Lovely painting.
How do you get your preliminary drawings to be so accurate? Also, your comments on the techniques you use are some of the best and most helpful I've seen. Thank you for all your sharing.
Hey Liron, this looks great, thanks for sharing your process and thoughts! Your videos are so encouraging and helpful again and again. Showing your own struggles really helps not to get frustrated with everything that won't work out the first time :) But I got a question: Do you prepare your paper in any way, like stretching it before starting with the first wash? I notice, this peace of paper isn't even taped to your board very much, nevertheless it won't buckle much, though you're applying a couple of washes. A vid on this topic might be a great help and would be very much appreciated, I think ;)
Thanks for sharing the whole process, and the end result is very nice. I think portraits are one of the most difficult subject to paint because we are so good at detecting things that don’t look correct in the human face. I’m guessing you have no problem with tracing or projecting the sketch to save time? I will freehand sketch a portrait if I’m just sketching but will trace or use davinci eye quite often to practice watercolour portraits so I’m not spending an hour just nailing the underlying drawing proportions.
Thank you John! Indeed (: Especially with portraits, I tend to simply trace. It’s always more effective, whether for a tutorial, or for a painting done in private. The only case I draw is when I either feel like it (which happens more often than one may think), or when I want to practice drawing specifically 😁✍️
Great painting and really helpful comments! I really appreciate that you give us so many insights in your thoughts while painting 😊 And your brushes look like they are really suited to your style of painting. Can you share which are the brushes exactly? (Sorry in case you already mentioned this before, I just couldn't find this information 😅)
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 The main brushes I used are the Escoda Barroco and Versatil (: And the tiny one for details is a Lebenzon brush. Check out FreeWatercolor.com/gear to see the rest of supplies 🎨👍
Oil painters don’t have any clue what us watercolorists go through! They don’t have to rush. They don’t have to pre plan. They don’t have to have four brushes going at the same time. They don’t have to have panic attacks mid wash!
Hello Liron, great work. This is very interesting topic for me. And you dig it very comprehensively. Do you think, Marcos Beccari does pre-wet in his process? Good luck and thank you..
Salut liron , j'espère que mon commentaire en français pourra être traduit , as tu déjà fait une vidéo sur les problèmes rencontrés concernant la peur de se lancer , la peur de l'échec etc et comment surmonter ça, je te remercie , j'aime tellement l'aquarelle mais je n'arrive pas à essayer.
On my livestream with Steve Mitchell from The Mind of Watercolor, we answered a similar question (: th-cam.com/users/liver1zcLgXxyZA?feature=share&t=2738 (I linked to the exact time stamp - at about 45 minutes) Usually it's one of the questions that come up in livestreams and I kind of answer on the spot 😁 But perhaps I should film a dedicated video soon
Love this!!! It’s everything we’ve needed and more-please continue to bring the portraits!!

Beautifully done, LiRon! 😍 I love your hour long videos 😁 (-Charnell)
Thank you Charnell!! 😊😊🙏🏼

Thank you George! 😊🙏🏼 as for the drawing - I traced it haha (: Put the paper on the screen (like a lightbox) and sketches it
Watching on my big screen , so awesome and your narration is so helpful 😊
Thank you Monica! 😁🙏🏼
Wish I’d have filmed this in 4k then! 😅

@@LironYan Thanks a lot for this super fast reply! I'll have a look at the brushes 😊

Amazing.... love your channel. What brushes are you using in this painting please?

@@LironYan thank you so much 🙏
Do you trace your drawings ? curious to know.
Yes, I do both. This one I traced, I believe I mention in the video. But things like large scenes, people etc - I tend to freehand
Liron, come to Islam n success
❤🙏
Never.
