      Thank you! The colors here are surprisingly dark when you actually analyze them 😁
      Many fear going that dark - but it's the way to go for!

    I don’t know how all your paints and mixes look like black to me, your final painting has so much subtlety and color in them!

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  Год назад +1

      There’s a lot of nuance in the mixes (:
      But it could also be the camera’s fault 😛

    The highlights and values are excellent. The figures are so genuine, lifelike, you can almost hear them talking. This is the first time I realized by not meeting the edges, you are creating highlights. It is inspiring to watch you paint and explain the process. Thanks for another great video.

    WOW, Liron, I watched you regularly over the past few years (and commented occasionally), but I moved to a farm last year and I've been busy every minute. I haven't gotten to paint or had time to watch painting videos. Animal husbandry videos took precedence for sure. I enjoyed watching you from your early days and seeing your progress from picture to picture. But this big jump I see with a year's absence, seeing your confidence in painting quickly and loosely, and your ability to interpret and paint the scene into such a realistic painting so quickly and adroitly has practically blown my mind this morning. Hopefully next winter I'll be able to make time to follow your teachings and move forward the way you have. Thank you for all you do to share and encourage the rest of us!

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  2 года назад

  • @amypanddirtytoo1926
    @amypanddirtytoo1926 2 года назад +1

    I'm always so impressed by the Alla-Prima and loose style in watercolor. I do weird surrealistic art so I tend to make everything very detailed and hyper realistic. I feel that if I am painting a man with his elbow stretched out really long and rolled up into a wheelbarrow that if I do it loose no one will know what the heck is going on, LOL!! I love how it came out Liron, VERY well done!!!

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  2 года назад

      Thank you! Haha the wells or mixing areas? 😂
      Wells - probably due to bad lighting when filming this specific vid.
      Mixing areas - in this particular vid it's all so gray, so my mixes look very gray / black.
      Natural colors tend to be very muted, and it's rare to find strong individual colors.
      Hope that answers the question 😉🙏🏼
