Best for me from this video. 1. Playing and guiding the wash. 2. Pick focal point of painting before I start (I have trouble with this). 3. Spraying with water to loosen the hard-lines. 4. I don’t think you said this but I find if I don’t fight with the paint or process but play with it, interact with it I have fun. Do you have a video on how to stop overworking parts of the painting? Often there is one part of my painting that I really like and then POW! The other parts I overwork and overwork and still overwork until there’s a hole in the paper.
Thank you so much for this, I painted along with this as a beginner and the result is actually... good?! I've gained so much confidence from doing this practice.
just gone midnight here and smiling watching this - you remind me of a radio sports presenter reporting on a game haha as you do each step. Looking forward to playing. Thanks Liron. very interesting.
Love your style! I tried this style painting an old truck….it was a fail but I’m determined to keep trying. I agree with what you said about making your own painting. I like to watch and paint tutorials for a couple of paintings or to work on a particular process and then try painting my own photo or something I’ve found on line. Thanks for your videos!
As a beginner I enjoyed the process... vibrant blues and realistic painting... I'd have to watch frame by frame to paint... thank 😊 you! Really beautiful to see as you create! A California Gramma ♥️
Hello from the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales....have recently fallen in love with watercolours, after a lifetime of acrylic,oils,and pastel painting . Thankyou for an inspiring and informative lesson,you are an excellent teacher...this is a challenging, but magical medium, more please and soon....xxx
Thank you for this. I love your demonstrations! Also love I can try it once and then watch again and do more attempts as I begin to see what’s happening with the paint.
I loved the way you demonstrated the wet in wet and the loose approach.. letting it work it’s self out so to speak .. .. I am brand new to watercolor. I am an oil painter. Also some acrylic. Watercolor has always intimidated me but I am ready for the adventure! Thank YOU
This was enjoyable to watch how your process of painting this. The part that I struggle with is the wet on wet technique and allowing the paint to flow the way it wants to flow. I love doing the dry techniques and details the best with my paintings. I have definitely learned a lot from watching this video. Gorgeous mountains! Thanks for sharing this.
Liron, I love this video. The end result is beautiful. I would love to hear what it is about M. Graham's yellow ochre that you like better than others. Thanks for posting this and all your work.
On the looks front - It’s very vibrant, but still plays the role of a slightly muted, dark valued yellow (and many yellows naturally just don’t have a good range - aka can’t get as dark as necessary). But more importantly - it rewets very easily and is smooth rather than grainy (as is the case often with Yellow Ochres…). So it’s a bit about what it looks like, and a lot about how it handles! (: Thank you for the kind words 😊🙏🏼
Wet on wet is so difficult to control for me. I loved the painting and how you keep the blues vibrant by introducing another color. Thank you. Now to try it.
I appreciate your encouragement of us to muster up the courage and just go for it... the darkest of values, the experimenting/playing with our pigments: its intimidating when we start to think too hard on it... thank u for the push to "play" instead of "perfect" It's invaluable 🤟🏼
Thank you so much Liron! I love your use of vibrant colours to convey the message of your paintings 🎨 As a beginner in water colour painting, It's so satisfying to watch and learn from you. I use simple brush strokes to build shape as well and my results have been impressive 😊
Really enjoy your videos Liron. I'm just a beginner, but you are giving me the courage to jump in. I'm going to take a look at your courses as well. What kind of tape do you use to tape down the paper?
Thank you so much 🙏😊 I really appreciate it! I have a video on the specific (category of) tapes I use! th-cam.com/video/t9fScovHgCg/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps (:
Hello! I have been MIA for a while, so I'm catching up on some of your videos. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! I love watching the dry brush technique on mountains.. the texture it creates looks so realistic. I also enjoyed the beginning wash of the sky, and how you moved the paint around to sculpt the mountain peaks. Excellent job friend!
Very interesting. Thanks a lot ! As we all strive to get better at whatever we are doing let me give some advice: Do not waste time for stressing over and over again that things can be made differently. That is a) self-evident and b) superfluous, as people who feel competent to paint in their own way will not watch videos with tips for beginners anyway. Instead explain even more the technique (moisture of brushes in various moments, departures from wet-in-wet etc.).
I got a lot from learning how you prep your paper by doing a big wash. I’m kind of a beginner, but have had much success with my guide teacher. When I take a break from this medium, I find that I’ve lost my technique skills. One thing: perhaps you have another lesson where you add more detail to make the inner workings pop out. I’d like to see this painting completed with more of the finer details
Thank you Yvon! 😊🙏🏼 I actually have many videos that are more detail oriented 😁 Here’s are a couple that come to mind: th-cam.com/video/H7Bf4t8Mnak/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/o_AV7MXuDd0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OQiRMZzoiJU/w-d-xo.html
I just discovered ur channel, you are such a good teacher! I don’t usually work with watercolors but this is so inspiring :)) my art teacher says it’s not the best to have pencil marks show through your painting, is it better to use watercolor to sketch? Please, take care !!!
Hi Liron, I love the drama of this painting! Light vs dark, hard vs soft edges and your color nuances! So powerful! Can you tell me what the brush is that you used? I love how much control it gives you for a big brush, and also because I need a thick handle brush. Where can I get a similar one? Thanks so much! Watching you from Palm Beach County Florida!❤️
quick question- maybe I have asked this before? do you pre stretched the paper? I noticed the paper I am using if I am just using masking tape and a mix of wet and dry areas stretches and bulges in most inconveniet ways at times causing pooling that is not nessarily wanted. It does dry back flat again but until dry it is a little annoying sometimes. I always used to stretch properly first but have been noticing lots of artists including the urban sketchers are just using masking taped edges rather than actually stretching the paper first. SO have been exploring this as an option for me.
You have some of the greatest videos for learning this medium, however I am a novice, beginner of beginners and after looking through most of your videos, I don’t see much for the beginner like me. Can you help? Thank you Nimo
Nah, not a great Liron methinks. The obvious streaks in the sky and right side of the peak unsettle me. Always love watching though! Just one question: do you squirt your tube paint into the pans and just let them dry then re awake them with water?
This is actually a great example for a scene that requires VERY minimal drawing skills (: If you take a few measurements - you should be good! (where the mountains meet the edges of the paper, what height the peaks are and in relations to one another, where the big shadows are) And there are plenty more scenes like that. So I’d argue you can do quite a lot 😉🎨
I don't draw well either. If I start to get frustrated because I just can't get it right, I see no shame in tracing. It lets me get to the part I enjoy faster :)
Thanks loved this especially watching the very loose wet in wet technique
It took me a moment but I'm fairly sure I painted this exact reference sometime last year, it was a really fun low-stress practice I remember.
Makes sense Josh! I got it off Pixabay and it looks like one of those fairly popular images haha 😁
love the dry brush at 15:00

Fantastic technique, thank you!
guilty as charged....painting shape by shape...LOL Thanks for the ideas!
Thank you so much for this, I painted along with this as a beginner and the result is actually... good?! I've gained so much confidence from doing this practice.

I’ve just begun my watercolor journey and appreciate your time and lessons. TYFS
That was so fun to watch!
Thank you for this tutorial have learnt alot
Fun and beautiful. I never have this much fun.
YEESS 😁🙏🏼 So happy to hear!
I loved the blending of the mountain into the sky to merge them and not end up with hard lines. Very big lesson for me.
Just in time! I have some mountains I need to rehabilitate usingyour techniques. Thanks so much!
That's crazy, cool!! You and your family stay safe.
Love your style! I tried this style painting an old truck….it was a fail but I’m determined to keep trying. I agree with what you said about making your own painting.

I trully enjoy this video , such a beautiful thoughfull but flexible artistic style. Love it. Very lively . Everything is live in your painting 🥰
As a beginner I enjoyed the process... vibrant blues and realistic painting... I'd have to watch frame by frame to paint... thank 😊 you! Really beautiful to see as you create! A California Gramma ♥️
Excellent demo and teaching - I’ve recommended you to my students!
Fantastic video, I loved the explanation of how hard loose painting is, I am finding it very difficult.
I always enjoy your videos. there is so much helpful info
🙏😊

Thankyou for an inspiring and informative lesson,you are an excellent teacher...this is a challenging, but magical medium, more please and soon....xxx
I like hearing your thoughts on the process as your painting. It helps me think how I might organize my own thoughts while painting.
So easy and simple when you demonstrate by reaching at our(LERNERS) level...We get confidence to do that on our own. Thanks.
This turned out beautiful! I like how you did the initial wash. I love your work! You are talented, generous, and humble!
Thank you for this. I love your demonstrations! Also love I can try it once and then watch again and do more attempts as I begin to see what’s happening with the paint.
I used to paint mostly ‘water running over rocks’ but need to work on skies. Can’t hide in the woods forever.
Thank you for talking your way through this, very helpful. 👍
wow..very wild effect! I wanna try it!
I loved the way you demonstrated the wet in wet and the loose approach.. letting it work it’s self out so to speak .. .. I am brand new to watercolor. I am an oil painter. Also some acrylic. Watercolor has always intimidated me but I am ready for the adventure! Thank YOU

I've been a little MIA too haha, due to a move.
But now back on track!
Very interesting. Thanks a lot !

It looks like a very interesting course. I will be interested to start in a few months, May I start the course any time I want ?
I really enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you. Did you use a white gel pen for your signature?
I have! 😁

or maybe it is just the quality of paper I am using ??? -( its not 100% cotton but a mix )
140 cold press paper by Arches works best for me. Just a suggestion.
yellow orchre suggestion with the blue thanks
You have some of the greatest videos for learning this medium, however I am a novice, beginner of beginners and after looking through most of your videos, I don’t see much for the beginner like me.
Can you help?
Thank you
Nimo
do u have a book/course on charcoal?
Unfortunately no (:
Just watercolor & sketching.
But thank you for asking! 😊🙏🏼
im gonna try this thanks for vids your very good teacher, when i win the lotto one day ill buy you a Ferrari
😁😁
Please fell me the size
Of brushed that you use.
Nah, not a great Liron methinks. The obvious streaks in the sky and right side of the peak unsettle me. Always love watching though! Just one question: do you squirt your tube paint into the pans and just let them dry then re awake them with water?
Huh. I've never considered selective soft edges!
😁
So I have no drawing skills, I have to wonder how much I can do with watercolor without drawing. Otherwise I use stamps.
This is actually a great example for a scene that requires VERY minimal drawing skills (:
If you take a few measurements - you should be good! (where the mountains meet the edges of the paper, what height the peaks are and in relations to one another, where the big shadows are)

@@LironYan thanks for answering, and for all your great content
@@Arm_Bears that's fair. I think I'm impatient with myself.
