I appreciate it when you say “let’s try yellow. I don’t know why”. Because it tells me that you are willing to try something regardless of the outcome. If it doesn’t work out then in the next painting you’ll try something different.
Exactly! And many times (and you don’t know this in advance) - but every option you would have chose would have worked! So it wasn’t that important of a decision. Maybe the decision to make decisions easily and quickly is the more important one 😉 Thank you 🙏🏼
Very dramatic result from an almost whimsical approach to capturing the scene. I become paralyzed when my colors drift from the photo or scene, but watching you helps me let go and just go with it. Great video Liron! I enjoy watching and listening to you as you explain you process.
Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏼 Remember there’s always the next painting, so don’t worry if the colors go a little crazy or inaccurate with the current one (;
This is honestly fantastic. Contains heaps of simple, yet at the same time, very difficult-to-apply advice. I was taught to ‘take care’ of my belongings..so much so that I actually found a few notebooks I had kept (just came as free gifts with comics) from when I was about 6 to 8yrs old. I’m 42 now. They were untouched- I hadn’t even used one piece of paper; because although I loved them; I was ‘keeping them “for best” ‘ Learning to let go is so difficult to do when your brain has been conditioned to treasure everything; a little too much. ❤️
I know this is a couple years old now and you’re probably not looking for this specific feedback anymore, but I wanted to say that I appreciate seeing the whole process. If there’s any part of it I don’t care about or anything that’s taking too long, we can always skip through it or bump the playback speed, so no need to worry. I’d infinitely prefer a full comprehensive walkthrough than end up with a video that skips over a vital part of the process. Thank you for doing what you do for all of us and helping us improve.
Wow! This is a fantastic example of controlled looseness! If that is even an accurate description. Fantastic drawing skills to capture so accurately the movement and proportions of the guys walking. And THEN to so rapidly slam colours on and STILL have wonderful lights and darks and movements and shadows and ...... appplause! Love it! I love how you just tell us to go for it and slam out colour and splatter etc too. I need more of that! Thanks Liron! Love your energy!
Artists naturally have a strong gift of intuition, that is drawing according to how they think it feels right. I noticed this when I was younger: i dont have any plans in drawing... things fall into place as I draw. It is ironic that when I tried to learn all the technical steps of drawing too hard, it kills intuition... things becomes so stiff and unnatural lookiing. That is why I apprecite Liron's freedom.... it made me realize that one very important thing I am losing as I try to improve in art. Thank you for this!
I enjoyed this so much. I drew and painted along with you, even though I have never drawn or painted a person. I think it turned out pretty well and I learned a lot in the process, including how to grab a lot of colors really quickly.
This is my favorite kind of watercolor paintings, where the artist works very quickly and and gets the essence down so you know what the painting is about with just a glance. IOW it's not for me the kind of painting I'd spend a lot of time looking at for its details, it's about getting the mood and heat of a hot day at a glance. It's very good imo. It's not about details like an obsessive oil painting, it's about a moment in time.
It looks very effortless in your demonstration. But when you draw and paint yourself, you quickly realize that a highly qualified professional is at work here.
Liron, it will be great to see where your art goes in a more realistic style. For all of us, it is too easy to get stuck and think "well, this is the best I can do." Can't wait to see your progress. Nothing at all wrong with what you are doing now, but we all push forward.
Thank you my friend 😊🙏🏼 That’s exactly my mindset!! I love what I currently produce, and aspire for more simultaneously! A balance I wish for everyone (:
this is one of the most helpful tutorials for watercolours, and simplifying shadows on clothes is exactly what I wanted to learn! Thank you so much, amazing video ❤
Just ordered your paperback how to sketch people. I’m really excited because this is the approach I want to take sketch and get the mood/ movement of the person and then eventually apply to watercolor painting. I already have your how to sketch book and I love how clear it is written! So enjoying your channel your art is incredible- found you thru Tom shepherd art TH-cam channel
You're full of surprises Liron. Very interesting how the approach changed from your figures with highlights. You said your figures were not accurate. Yeah? Really? They were so believable. GREAT figures. I noticed you NEVER copy the same colours from your reference photos, but they still work. For me it's counterintuitive- we all tend to want to replicate the colours.
Thank you ☺️ They had some minor inaccuracies, but definitely conveyed the message I was after! And yes - there are many ways to go about this - I want to have the ABILITY to render something with great accuracy (so perhaps matching the colors too), because that ability will translate to my more impressionistic pieces (which is what I’m ultimately after). I hope that makes sense (:
Super! Thanks for the informative video. It is great that you show the initial drawing process. Too often on watercolor videos they start after the initial drawing is completed. So, it looks like they are just filling in a coloring book. The drawing part is at least 50% of getting a watercolor right. Please keep showing the drawing part.
Loved this demo. Pfffffff not worry? I always worry the sketch, the exact colour, lights, darks and sharp edges or soft. I almost gave up but I’m in love with this medium. Keep videos like this coming, very helpful. 👍👍👍👍🌺
Always great to watch your videos, and NO part is ever boring. I love the transformation from "I don't think this is going to work" to "wow" that is great. Thanks again!
An enjoyable and rewarding experience as always.Ur joy while painting the self conciousness about ur way of doing things. This is what makes it fun to be taught. An infectious gaiety pervades. Need more like u. Hope u never stop teaching or lose this spirit.
This is excellent Liron, thank you. Exactly the sort of information I was looking for to improve my people sketching. Nothing boring at all, please always show the whole process! :)
This was so fun! Please continue to show the steps when drawing people. It was interesting when you commented that sometimes we see things differently. You made a comment about a color of the clothes, and I didn't see it that way. I guess it's like taste buds, each one can be different.
Beautiful painting. It was fun to watch you because I think I feel like you felt.... To break loose... Most of the time. But I am so scared of spoiling my work, wasting a good quality paper and so on and so forth. But I related to your style in so many ways.... My paintings appear to"by the rule' to me. I shall try and overcome my fears now. 🎉
Loved this demo; came out better than I expected. I am finally starting to understand how to paint people in a scene, no longer afraid to try and I am enjoying it!! (I can do this ?!) thank you, Liron
Your people are so real looking; they look animated, and it is fascinating to see your attention to the shadows. It helps to see and hear how you do this. Thanks, and would love to see more of these characters.
One thing I get is that the photo is just a guide , you don’t have to be photorealistic or anything, just get the forms. I find myself stuck in details at times
This was a great video or rendering of the color and the shadows. But my people tend to be too stiff and don’t seem to capture the personality. Maybe you could comment in a video on getting the shape of the person to look like they’re in motion and not stiff paper doll like.
Sure thing, will try talking about it in a future video! I also recently posted a vid focusing more on the drawing stage: th-cam.com/video/FL3q263xXEM/w-d-xo.html I hope you find it helpful! (:

Seeing the entire process is interesting, so don't even think of skipping any of it. Well done, Liron.
helen em I agree.
I really love the simplicity here. Thanks for sharing this information.
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy you found it useful
This is my favourite of all your videos. I revisit it time and again.
Thank you ☺️ So happy to hear
I love the way you play and learn from it
Thank you! 😊🙏🏼 Best way is to have fun
Yes beautiful
Not boring at all! I can watch this kind of stuff all day, I love how loose watercolor reads realistic and it is so impressionistic
So happy to hear, thank you! (:
Very dramatic result from an almost whimsical approach to capturing the scene.

Learning to let go is so difficult to do when your brain has been conditioned to treasure everything; a little too much. ❤️
This channel is gold

That’s amazing to know and be reminded of - thank you 😊🙏🏼
So far that’s indeed the overall direction I’ve been taking (:
I’ll give figure painting more definition. Thanks for sharing. Awesome!
Looks brilliant. Artful.
Love ur process
I'm painting watercolor in Korea
I like your portrait expression
I always watch
고마워요 나의 그림친구
Thank you my friend 😊🙏🏼 Happy to have you here!
Inspiring! Tomorrow I need to take time to paint people!

So happy to hear this 😁😁🎨🎨 I love to convey the entire process and everything in it

I like seeing how you draw and choosing the colors and making the connection of shapes with the rest of the painting.
I love it that you show us through the whole process including the drawing, and all in real time! Thanks a lot!
It looks very effortless in your demonstration. But when you draw and paint yourself, you quickly realize that a highly qualified professional is at work here.
Yes, showing right from the sketching stage is most helpful!
One of the best videos you've shown us as far as the process goes. Tremendously helpful! Thank you👏👏👏
amazing !
you are once again inspiring me to TRY....thank you
Liron, it will be great to see where your art goes in a more realistic style. For all of us, it is too easy to get stuck and think "well, this is the best I can do." Can't wait to see your progress. Nothing at all wrong with what you are doing now, but we all push forward.

Nice painting. Really we have fun . I will try. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
I think your personality enhances the demo. Its the best one I've seen, the most inspiring. Thks.
I love this especially the fluidity and the light and shadow! It is so helpful. I really enjoy your tutorials, great job.
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼
This works. Love it!

Great demo's. You convey "how to" better than most of the TH-cam's.
Definitely not boring.
Beautiful painting. It was fun to watch you because I think I feel like you felt.... To break loose... Most of the time.

thanks liron, i enjoyed this painting but i prefer your paper!

Your work inspires me every day!
Going to work to do this process - thank you for sharing
Awesome 😍 thanks 💐
Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this demonstration, and for sharing your creative thoughts. Your enthusiasm is inspiring!
Too good man 🔥
Loved this demo; came out better than I expected. I am finally starting to understand how to paint people in a scene, no longer afraid to try and I am enjoying it!! (I can do this ?!) thank you, Liron
That is AMAZING! Take that energy and make something spectacular 😁👏👏
Quite impressive, its novel and quick
Thank you!
So effective!..thanks for sharing x
Happy I could help, thank you! 😊🙏🏼
You did a great job I like looseness in paintings.👌
Great job, Liron 👏 Hello from Kelowna, Canada. Loved this technique. Gonna try this for sure 👍🏼
Love your philosophy of art!
Love it!
😊🙏🏼
Thanks for this video, you are super talented! Keep going!
Thank you , this really helped me, Sharon, Missouri USA
Very helpful video! Thanks for sharing
You got it! 😊🙏🏼
I feel like I learned a lot from this kind of video. Thank you so much for putting this together, Liron!
Your people are so real looking; they look animated, and it is fascinating to see your attention to the shadows. It helps to see and hear how you do this. Thanks, and would love to see more of these characters.
Thanks, I just bought your book "how to sketch people"
Oh thank you so much!! 🙏😊 I really appreciate it
woooow leron this is incredible
Cool, thanks
Thank you! Very informative! You make it look so simple and easy!!
I really enjoyed this.
You explained everything you were doing and you made it look so easy - excellent work- I’ve subscribed 🙏
Thank you for another perfect video. Love the sketchy Ness in this one. Great job♥️
Nice one
Loved this!
Now I would like to paint a couple, your video has come from the heaven :D :D :D Thank you so much.
😁😁 Let me know how it went!
this is a good way to do people studies for landscape... just do the local color for highlight than shadow..
So well done . I thought you were in Israel because of the IDF-colored shirt on the guy on the left! Love your improv!
Haha, it does look a little like it, now that I think about it 😂
👌
One thing I get is that the photo is just a guide , you don’t have to be photorealistic or anything, just get the forms. I find myself stuck in details at times
I love this. But I feel so intimidated. Still a beginner, you make it look so easy!
Give it a try! Worst case you can always do another one, and another one (:
Stanizlaw does really realistic...but im not sure i like it. It is brilliant but like this style. Very good thank u.john
This was a great video or rendering of the color and the shadows. But my people tend to be too stiff and don’t seem to capture the personality. Maybe you could comment in a video on getting the shape of the person to look like they’re in motion and not stiff paper doll like.
Sure thing, will try talking about it in a future video!
I also recently posted a vid focusing more on the drawing stage:
