    Ah the part about a unified shaped no matter where you go with edges really just created a breakthrough for me! Thanks

    I found this very informative, thank you for making it! The biggest "aha!" moment was the whole, "not letting any of the tree trunks start at the same point on the page" part, so that they looked more natural and the scene looked more 3D. I didn't totally get it until I saw it painted, but it's so simple and so useful. Thanks!

    Thanks Liron, will try this bearing in mind your instructions. I often remember snippets of your advice as I’m painting, so it does sink in! ‘I’m fine with that’ is my favourite! I’m painting a lot looser now and forgiving some unintended outcomes, happy to just say ‘it is what it is’, and repeat a painting if I feel I’ve learned something from my mistakes, rather than fiddle with the original. I like the blue sky by the way, adds to the sunny feel.

  • @btwilks
    @btwilks 4 года назад +4

    Great work on the trees, Liron - as you say, the tendency is either to make them a single-coloured 'blob' or to put far too much individual detail in so they lose their unifying structure. You definitely strikes that middle ground with structure and detail both showing through. In the meantime I need to go and put some more miles in on the brushes and see if I can eventually get somewhere close to that happy medium. Thanks for the video and all the best from Florida, Brian.

    • @LironYan
