Writing is that way for me: unplanned but intuitive. It feels like the story is coming through me, not from me. ❤
I just started watercolor a few nights ago and while painting I was smiling and talking to my wife saying “you know what I love about painting?.. I get to do *random brush stroke* whatever *and another* I want *big line across* and I can’t mess up because the point is that I’m having fun”. And you just expressed that in this video. Thanks for the encouragement! Loved the painting, I am inspired to go sit by a lake and paint it real time now. God bless and have a great day!
Thanks for another thoughtful and insightful video, Liron. The painting itself was gorgeous (of course) but you also gave us all many things to consider during your excellent commentary. As many others have already said, you have a worldwide community of people who are feeling for you in these hard times and I'll join with them in again hoping that you and your family manage to stay safe. Kind regards, Brian.
Thank you so much Brian 🙏😊
I really appreciate the kind words.
And very happy the commentary may provide some insights. I'm so lucky to be able to paint and teach, because honestly it's the only things I'm really capable of doing right now ♥
@@LironYan hi again Liron...are you close to the war zone in Israel and Pakistan? If so....I wish you and yours only the best...and that this will be over very soon...and that you stay safe...Let us know how you are? Thanks Janis
Thinking of you and your family daily..The advice you give in this demo is precious and I needed to hear it. The painting itself really lovely. Learning so much from you. Thank you Liron 😊
Thank you so much Janine 🙏 ♥
So happy this is useful
Immerse yourself in your art… thank you for your selfless creative endeavors. Blessings.
Thank you so much 🙏♥ I really appreciate it
Liron,
Your lessons are Great!
We are thinking of you and your family 👪 ❤and hope you are moving somewhere safe!
Thank you so so much ♥♥
1) your lessons on shapes and values definitely help improve the painting 2) if I feel tight, stress, rushed, timid or insecure I know I’m in wrong town! 3) i totally agree about intuition, and when you paint that way you feel happy 4) quality paper is huge! 5) love this lesson, going to watch it again with my sick bedridden mother and paint together with her, you are bringing light to people💕💕💕💕💕💕
That sounds like a great way to spend time together ♥
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🙏
I appreciate your talent and sharing
Thank you for watching 🙏🏼❤️
Stay safe dear friend. I hope you can loose yourself in painting. In times of turmoil I have lost myself in many art endeavors and the garden...including digging 5' deep koi ponds. Creating has been my therapy..
Dug with pick and shovel...you would be surprised how much angst can be relieved....,maybe painting a la Jackson Pollack would have worked too if I didn't have a 2 acre back yard ?
@@marjoriejohnson6535are you who made this beautiful palette for him? i am curious about the slim pans setup is this something you make and sell by chance?
@katriannamaria yes, am now disabled but still hoping that someday I will be able to sit up longer longer than to eat..they are mini ice cube trays that are silicone. I cut out as many dividers as I want . Depending on what I was going to be painting and how many colors I wanted..sometimes by brand or the subject. The set I sent to him were the small set I put together to drive ( an 18-20 hour) to Savannah ( a city I always had wanted to paint) but wound up in THE ICE for 8 days when I was half way there. Fortunately my daughter had closed her club to go with me..that was the end of my serious painting.
I sent him a brand I knew he hadn't tried ,as I began watching from the beginning . If I have enough strength I want to send him Hobein( not one of my favorite brands) as I still have the end of a smaller set.
@katriannamaria ps..the metal palette is perfect for plain aire as it balances well. Available from WET PAINTS ,,give them a call.
@katriannamaria woops ..that was ICU at NASH hospital in Rocky Mount N.C. ( I have been in 9 so far and it's one of the best)
Thanks Liron, and I hope Art can give you comfort and distraction in this difficult time
Thank you! I appreciate your philosophy and encouragement!
You got it! 🙏😊 Thank you for watching
Stay safe. Your art is beautiful & the advice priceless.
Great video and tips of life. Ty
Love the white areas popping!
Very motivating 👍😘
As a beginner, Id say all the advice you've given on washes and values is solid. However, Im beginning to notice watercolor is about tricking your own eyes in a constructive way. When everything in the painting is utilizing the same tricks, with correct values, others will see it too (though they may know nothing about watercolors). This is definitely one of my favorite episodes. This conversation really motivates looseness.
New to your channel. Love your work. Very helpful.🙏🏻for your safety, Thank you!
Thank you so much & welcome aboard 🙏♥
Love watching, listening & learning from you! Thank you for sharing your beautiful art.
Thank you 🙏♥
First, thank you for being here.
I was just there! You have captured the atmosphere and the light so beautifully! Love the way you treated the boats, I hope I can approach them with the same freedom and not get too fussy.
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoyed it there, it's truly a fantastic view 🙏
Very well explained and done! It is so true about wc advice that one just has to dig in to the painting and go from there. We all have less favorite paintings or just straight up mistakes even in the process because it’s a part of learning. I trashed a painting last night but it was fun!😂Thank you Liron. May you and your family stay well.
Thank you! ^_^
That's indeed part of the painting journey haha
I am so happy to know you, your wife, and puppy dog are safe. My friends and I kept checking with each other to see if there was a new video from you. My heart is happy to know you are okay.
Thank you so much for worrying about us 🙏🏼❤️😊
one comment for the algorithm. that paint palette box and pans are so unusual.
Haha thank you!
Indeed, it's a custom made palette sent to me by a dear subscriber ^_^
The colors in it are actually Mission Gold, and can be seen here (last photo):

I love this and your thoughts about the process.
So much fun watching you paint and talk I can’t do both lol 😂 a very enjoyable landscape and boats. Well done.😊
Haha it's getting more challenging with time for some reason.
So I end up filming & narrating separately more often these days.
Thank you for watching 🙏♥
I love it too! And I found your talk encouraging. Thank you Liron!
I'm always relieved to see you post now. Stay safe. ❤
Love your words and painting! Think about you a lot... stay safe.
Thank you, much appreciated 🙏♥
Very beautiful painting and great advice 🙏 always great to see you post
Thank you 🙏
Grateful for you too! ❤
I love it too!
Thank Liron...HANGERS...are for planes....SLIPS are for boats...I think!😉
Nice! Learned something new (:
Happy to see my old field palette being put to good use. What do you think of the mission gold single pigment colors. From my botanticals to your landscape they seem versatile.
the subconscious is bigger than the conscious. anyone can test this by sitting still for 5 minutes and seeing what appears in the mind. and then there's unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, unconscious competence
Дивовижно! 👌👌👌Вподобайка! ❤❤❤
Thank you! ♥
Stay safe ❤
❤️
Hello all! Nice art break :)
can i ask you about this awesome palette you have pictured? do you have a video on it by chance listing details of it?
Yes! This is a wonderful palette sent to me by my viewer Marjorie 🙏🏼🙏🏼
It’s custom filled with Mission Gold paints.
You can see the exact setup here:
imgur.com/a/n0zWTvd
My favorite paint here is Verditner Blue. It’s an awesome mix between Cobalt and Permanent White. Very useful
@@LironYanoh wow what an awesome viewer! i love the size of it and the slim pan setup that holds so many! I wonder how she does them would be such amazing pan to make available for sale!!
Very good advice. "I am not married to watercolour" 🤣
❤ morning!
Praying for blanket of protection and safety for all. War must end.
What's the main brush you're using?😮
Stay safe and happy painting lose yourself in your art. ❤
What white guache ? Winsor newton has perminate and zinc..never used and would like to try..if I can.
It says on it Designer's Gouache, and under that "Permanent White" (PW6).
Hope that helps!
Also thank you for the kind words and huge support, and this AMAZING palette, really encourages me 🙏♥
On tomorrow's vid I also use this palette and thank you ^_^
@LironYan thank you for the info..I have a few watercolors of poinsettias( large Christmas card sized) that I want to add white splatters for my daughters...perhaps the last of my paintings. Ps..my youngest just came thru the door with a shirt I had painted daisy's on 39 years ago..and it still looks like the day I painted it)
How do i handle buckled paintings ? The paper buckes and i font know how to fix it
Taping it usually works (:
And then you can wait a while after every wash (as it will gradually flatten while drying).
And if it stays slightly buckled, you can get that last 10% flatness by gently using a hair drier / heat gun (from afar).
To me the buckling isn't an obstacle anymore, even whenever I don't tape my painting.
I let it buckle without worrying too much about it.
As always, great advice. Thank you. Are you on PayPal? I would like to compensate you with a little gift through their friends and family option. I don't think you have to pay commission if done that way. Let me know.
Thank you so so much Debbie 🙏😊
The mere offer honors me ♥
I emailed you (we have corresponded via email before).
@@LironYan thank you, Liron. Your comment has meant a lot to me these past few years. You always give such good and encouraging information.
@@LironYan I meant to say you're content. Lol.
@@debbieborden7651Thank you, I'm so happy to hear the lessons and content are meaningfull 🙏♥
Will keep doing my best.
And also thank you so much for the support, super grateful
Liron, my husband and I live in Connecticut, US in a quiet rural area. We are inviting you and your wife if you are married, to come live in our home. We would welcome you with open arms. Our home is small but safe and full of love. If you are interested, think it over, respond to this comment and we can make a connection. Praying for your safety. Shalom
Thank you so so much Nancy 🙏♥
The best thing we can do is stay here and do our best from within, but I really appreciate it
@@LironYan the offer remains open if you change your mind.
My #1 advice for you Liron is to come to Islam n success. There is no god but Allah and prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is His last messenger.
Hello Liron, greeeeeeaaaaat!!!!!! SUBJECT, seascapes etc, thank you so much, for your time and effort, the way you turn SUBJECT matter, e.g. plain buildings( I normally would not look at twice, from a plain looking photo, unless there was something that really caught my eye, into such interesting paintings, I will look 3 times now to see what can be done).
As I've said to you, I love seascapes etc, and love the way you have turned a quite complex photo, into a lovely, free,
atmospheric, painting, telling the whole story.
Wish you and family well, and keep doing what your extremely good at, Your Art, and You're Tuition,
and a way to forget your troubles, and troubles around you, it works for me, and I'm always curious, and wanting to
learn, even at age of 64 now.
Take Care
Steve from LONDON
Thank you so much Steve! 🙏 Really appreciate the kind words ♥♥
