Hi there, Liron here!
In this loose watercolor painting tutorial I'll show you how to paint carelessly, and not worry too much about the result.

“ Remember, we’re in the business of not caring”. 😂 Love it!

I needed exactly this for my next watercolor class to paint a set of buildings near a canal without making it look like I was copying a coloring book. I had to find this tut and you never let me down.

[@beebee4095]

That is the beauty of watercolour, to let your brush and paint create themselves on the painting. Let the brush do the work.

[@jscook54]

Great advice that I should tell myself this is just my first one or practice one. It frees your mind up to just start- no worries. It is just my practice one! Thx

"There's going to be another painting after this one."

[@MrArtemioP]

I heard it best explained like your mind is always looking for shapes and figures, your goal is to give just enough details to push the brain to see what your trying to show. I'm still new myself but I can see what your trying to teach, honestly, I just cross my eyes and I can see your process.

DAYUM! that's ah-may-zing!

[@bobeileen1]

"congruent" awesome word. Great lesson on freedom painting. I have learned something for sure.

[@roselynbaruch3697]

Love your non caring attitude, wish I could be so free, will have to dive into the cold water!

[@kirstynewbery8012]

I love your squint perspective. It's helping me understand my own style

[@chekovrules]

Ooh, I love how that turned out! The "I'm going to do another painting after this" approach is great, gonna try that more with myself

[@megmoore8108]

I truly appreciate your continued encouragement to be enjoying the creative process and not thinking about the end result. It brings about art that is unique

This lesson is just what I desperately needed ! Since this is the subject I like to paint ! I deeply appreciate how Liron gives us inspiration and encouragement to jumpstart the student painter , besides demonstrating his expert skills in watercolor ! Once again I will say that He is an expert teacher in his practical easy going method !
