Hi Liron, i love this video. It really does look like I can absolutely follow you in doing this. Your instructions are so clear. Thank you for sharing this. ❤
This tutorial has come along so timely for me after I have just totally trashed a detailed vintage car sketch through impatience. Thank You so much for the tips on patience and working on small areas, it is really helping a lot with my second attempt Liron
Reminds me of when you’ve done a portrait and begin with cast shadows leaving paper white for highlights which, in this case, is the local colour of the white boats.
Nice job. I appreciate the encouragement towards painting more realistic with watercolor. Presently I am in the midst of a pointalism-ish type watercolor painting. Didn't even know what pointillism was until after I'd already finished one painting . Now I'm deliberately trying to practice it. Thanks for sharing your talent with the rest of us. Blessing.
Wonderful video and gorgeous painting! Did you spend some time before painting this planning colors or did you just go for it? Also, how many glazes of the same color is too many or does it not matter?
this was fantastic, and just the inspiration and advice i needed. i have been doing cars in pen and ink with watercolor and i may spend hours or days getting it done wondering how i can speed it up....news flash...i don't have to. treating it the same as my acrylic canvas paintings is ok....thank you!
Totally agree on that - you give me hope… I love realism…I thought I would have to be a master to accomplish that type of painting. So I need to have 1. Patience 2. Be able to match color 3. Go slow and include details 4.work in small areas 5. Paint light at first and add glazes and darken as needed…do you think you could ever demonstrate a simpler scene .. though I guess I could crop half the photo to start…oh and use hot press paper too… you are a master for sure. I’m in awe of your talent - you have a mix of a true gift combined with consistent effort and constant practice making your work pleasing to the eye everytime.
I absolutely concur!! I am 66 years young and have recently begun to watercolor. I feel so fortunate to have just found your wonderful tutorials and this is only my second one. You are such an incredibly talented artist and such a patient and gifted teacher that I would truly love to see any full length tutorial no matter the length of time. I have all of the patience in the world and am fortunate enough to have as much time as I would like to devote to learning about this magical medium. 👩🦳🖌️
It's beautiful. It still has a graceful easy look despite the methodical approach. As much as I would like to paint more loosely it doesn't come to me. What you've done here is more my way at this point and it turned out lovely. Very good lesson. Thanks.
Hey there Liron..you mentioned you used Hot Pressed but in the description you type cold pressed paper..just wondering, did you paint this beauty on both papers 💜
Love this painting Liron! And as always, you explain everything so well. I absolutely hate hot pressed paper though… I don’t even know if I want to try to learn painting in it. 🥴
Liron..wondering if we paint our own version after watching your tutorial…what is the golden rule of displaying our painting at our local art class or local gallery ( if it turns out ok that is) ..thank you .. Sue in Aussie 💕🌞
Let me know via email! (: Usually it should be disclosed when you painted based on a tutorial (unless you create something very different that’s only loosely based)
Thanks again for joining the courses Beth 😊🙏🏼 The best resource would be the section on Values in the Watercolor Realism course.

If I work a slower approach like here, I just look for a clear shape to start from (: Clear as in "I understand it well". And that shadow on the boat really stood out for, so I painted it! But I could have started with any of the other details too. When you're trying to paint more impressionistically, it becomes more important to think about the larger washes, but not so much here 😊🎨
@@LironYan I like that you act in the moment & that guides your approach to your specific subject instead of following “rules” that may say the cast shadows or darks etc are the last things you paint. I learned that also I on of your TH-cam videos on figures. It may have been about a two value, light/dark value approach which I found very helpful. It led me to do a figure starting with darks. Then the light values could obviously create the rest. For some reason I didn’t think you’d do the same with the boats. Thanks for your response. I’d like to support you by taking a course but not sure which. Can you direct me to where I can find them all? Maybe the Realistic one or about being freer. My background is visual art & love abstraction but been taking wc classes from Toronto person about 6 years. Also did one with Yong Hong Zhong this winter. Anyhow, thanks & goodnight!
Hello Liron, Regarding your class, realism, When I select not a FREE member, it defaults to enter credit card information . I cannot sign in. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks, Beth
Very often I will - just like in this one (: If I want to work on my drawing skills too, or if it's a relatively simple drawing - I'll draw it from observation.
It would be interesting to compare the same painting on cold pressed! Beautiful and inspiring lesson.
Very, very well done Liron, great pace! You sound so relaxed and encouraging. It was just right. Thank you soooooo much!
Beautiful painting, and I think the pacing and level of detail in this video is about perfect.
Thanks for this one Liron, it's very empowering and encouraging. Excellent tutorial!
Hi Liron,

Thank you Sophie! You really can 😁🙏
Absolutely beautiful
Absolutely right! Patience!!

Haha I've had that experience many times before!
Keep going, you'll get it 😊🎨
Reminds me of when you’ve done a portrait and begin with cast shadows leaving paper white for highlights which, in this case, is the local colour of the white boats.
Thank you so much!
That's the video I've been dreaming about! Thank you
I like this realistic way of yours

This was fantastic I took my time and really enjoyed this thank you so much !
Yes plz, it would be so good to see how you paint a full painting
this was fantastic, and just the inspiration and advice i needed. i have been doing cars in pen and ink with watercolor and i may spend hours or days getting it done wondering how i can speed it up....news flash...i don't have to. treating it the same as my acrylic canvas paintings is ok....thank you!
I'd like to see a full-length narration of the process of painting this ... Thank you. 🎨👨🎨🖌️

Agreed. Would love to see and learn from the full length narration.

Great painting, great tutorial. 👍
I liked seeing you do this style.
Love this , I enjoyed just watching you paint xoxo
This is one of your best video's!
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very excited to hear this!
Your best painting so far! 💕
Yes, please a full vid would be great if you've time.
Thank you.It is beautifull!!!
❤
Love this! It really helps with next steps in my current project, a natural seep.
I really liked your advice to wait long term over days to paint. I do love this, but my impatience is something I really need to work on!
Beautiful painting, Liron!
It's beautiful. It still has a graceful easy look despite the methodical approach. As much as I would like to paint more loosely it doesn't come to me. What you've done here is more my way at this point and it turned out lovely. Very good lesson. Thanks.
Another fantastic video! Thanks !
Love love love it! I think you could have even done the painting with just the reflections. They were so beautiful.
More great helpfulness! And let me guess, Wee Ruth is a Rat Terrier! We had one for 17 years. Very clever little fellow he was, too! Thanks again!
Thank you Michael! 😁 Ruth is a mix, but about 50% frenchie 😂
Love it! Thank you for sharing
Wow this looks awesome. Man I often try this
Great picture today.
very nice!
Thank you!
I love it!
do you have a class focused on tone and values?
Hey there Liron..you mentioned you used Hot Pressed but in the description you type cold pressed paper..just wondering, did you paint this beauty on both papers 💜
Love this painting Liron! And as always, you explain everything so well. I absolutely hate hot pressed paper though… I don’t even know if I want to try to learn painting in it. 🥴
And isn’t amazing how adding contrast makes the white brighter?
Thank you Lisbeth 😊🙏🏼
It's indeed amazing - the magic of painting!
I would like to see the full painting, please
Liron..wondering if we paint our own version after watching your tutorial…what is the golden rule of displaying our painting at our local art class or local gallery ( if it turns out ok that is) ..thank you .. Sue in Aussie 💕🌞

Not sure I see your email address on your links but I just love the photo you supplied..it’s ok..I just won’t risk breaking the rule…..thanks..
Hi Ruth!
I've heard mention of Fabriano Soft Pressed from other TH-camrs. Have you tried it? It's in between cold and hot pressed.
Ooh really..that would be my dream paper 🧡
@@suev1520 Check out latest videos of Louise de Masi on TH-cam
@@electrichen6243 oh I follow her ..thanks xx
Hmmm I haven’t, definitely sounds like an interesting paper to try (:
Liron, do you have a class on value?
Thanks again for joining the courses Beth 😊🙏🏼
The best resource would be the section on Values in the Watercolor Realism course.

Whats the doggie called? Hes adorable!
Ruth! 🐶😍
Oh yes, you actually mentioned her name in the video foolish of me, i missed that!
Why did you choose to start with cast shadow? Is that much of the colour of the boat, being white, is cast shadow?
If I work a slower approach like here, I just look for a clear shape to start from (:
Clear as in "I understand it well".
And that shadow on the boat really stood out for, so I painted it!
But I could have started with any of the other details too.

Hello Liron,
Regarding your class, realism,
When I select not a FREE member, it defaults to enter credit card information .
I cannot sign in.
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks, Beth
Do you trace your photos?
Very often I will - just like in this one (:
If I want to work on my drawing skills too, or if it's a relatively simple drawing - I'll draw it from observation.
@@LironYan Thank you (:
Hi Ruth dog!
you call this realistic ? lmao
