Excellent thoughts my friend. I especially like this statement you made: "What tends to happen when someone encounters a problem is they don't try and solve the problem but look for external advice." Such a great observation. Tips and advice may point you in a general direction but don't necessarily address what you are specifically doing.
Yes - you always hit the nail on the head - periods of feeling stuck & feeling like what’s the point BUT can’t quit - LOVE the magic in the painting. Need to pinpoint my issues & work on them - got it - thank you 🙏
Whenever I come back after a break, I always paint a painting using a "Master's" painting. Either Watercolor or Oils. By having a master work to copy this helps me get my confidence back after my last fail(s). Sargent, Monet, Van Gogh, etc. We can freely paint their paintings now (100+ years). I never sell my work, I give it away so I never need to worry about a copyright infringement. I am working on Van Gogh's "Wheat Field with Cypress" currently (oil). What a genius he was! Paint like a Master until your confidence comes back then move forward with your own work!
Great advice and insight, as always. People give up on things for many reasons, I myself have experienced this too. Sometimes we just find that "we drop the ball" at some point, usually due to other things going on and forgetting why we started. Having started something, the way to improve and get further enjoyment, albeit struggling often, is to CONTINUE. The continuation can be as often and as deep as you can make it, or just keep your hand in. I go through periods, often weeks go by, without painting. However, I never feel like I can leave it for too long without doing something about it. For me, and perhaps for others too, we can waste too much time watching RUclips videos about painting instead of just painting! A video now and again is great, books too, workshops - online or in-person are superb to give yourself a creative boost. The worst thing we can do is compare our efforts to others in a way that holds us back. Our own expectations can also be a hinderance too. So let go of these two false notions and just enjoy the painting experience, it will take you on a journey, hopefully a lifelong journey. The results, whatever they may be, will evolve naturally over time. Be patient and appreciate the fact that we are even able to obtain the materials in order to paint. As Bruce Lee once said: "be like water, my friend" - go with the flow. This is why I love watercolour. Find out why you LOVE IT and let that be your guide and inspiration.
I find not having a clear vision of how I want a painting to look is a problem for me. When I do have a clear vision I lose focus as I proceed through the painting. Losing focus causes me to have to react to what I have painted to salvage the painting. However giving up is not an option.😆
Wow, this is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. I had a totally awful painting yesterday and I let it set me back to that frustrated/negative head space with watercolor. I was on such a roll combining techniques (finally!) and feeling more connected to each piece, so it was extremely disappointing. I'm going to try again today. Thanks for making this Liron-- I really do value your advice!
Thanks Liron. I needed to hear these supportive words of wisdom. To look ‘inside’. It never occurred to me to do this for my watercolor issues. Brilliant.🥰🙏🏽
Been there done that, having painted for over 20 years the highs and lows come, not regularly but often enough, and I changed the subject I am painting from landscape to flowers to animals and birds to buildings. It keeps the mind going and the subject fresh which leads to a wide selection of paintings to draw from in the future when things stop working for me.
Thank you Liron, as always the wisdom speaks through you💚 I would add to this: periods of not painting are ok, it doesn't matter how long, breaks are nice to clear the idea of painting and watercolor for oneself; paintings that are "not good" are necessary, they allow oneself to grow and learn from mistakes 💚 take care☺️
Thank you! Just when I needed this for encouragement. I literally figured out what went wrong with a simple landscape after watching this and telling my friend about this video. Red and green make brown, an ah ha moment.
This is great advice at the right time! I just decided to put away about 5 paintings that aren't going the way I want. I spontaneously started a new one, just like you said, without expectations. It turned out great - motivation is back! You're exactly right, having too much attention on a very specific outcome can be defeating. I guess I stumbled on the same method you just explained so clearly. Thanks for sharing this and confirming I'm on the right track!
I'm a digital freelance artist and when I'm about to give up (for whatever reason) I just force myself to take a break from my usual art routine and I go to the paper sketchbook. I just start experimenting with traditional meduim and search for different subjects - as I usually draw characters, I start to draw or paint animals, architecture, landscapes or anything that inspires me. So, I think, it is a great practice, because it refreshes your creativity and it resets your mind in some way. This is what I love with all my heart about art - there are infinite art paths and you can switch them at any time. Also, when you come back to your regular art routine, you will be stronger as an artist.
I appreciate this video. Growth is hard. I found my techniques were fine but my color theory was lacking. So often too many colors and too many shades involved in glazing so nothing popped and shadows were mud. Using a limited pallette really helped me grow
I'm working with watercolors for ~2 years and I had couple of those periods when I didn't like my art. Looking at the problem really helped and gave me some clarity what I want to do next with my paintings. These periods are not easy, but they are essential. And inevitable. Thanks, Liron, for tackling this idea!
I don’t think I could ever give up. I love watercolor so much. And I definitely can’t consider myself even an artist. Although as I look at my work sometimes I don’t see improvement. But once in a great while I create what I think is absolutely a masterpiece. And I’ve figured out how to scrub off the paint in a spot & correct it and I’m so happy I can do that instead of throwing it away. But I’ve been doing this a lot longer than you, Lyron. I think you’re a great artist.
Thank you Liron! You spoke to right where I am in my watercolor journey. I just started getting serious this year. I've been watching lots of different people. I'm very grateful that I found your content. Hearing your story and your perspective on this has given me encouragement. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for this helpful video. 💚 I mostly like paintings of other people more than mine, that's a reason to give up for me. (i mean thinking that i am too bad and wasting time ) And that i learn slowly, so many things i can't paint, well, sorry for sounding so depressive. What i hate is my disappointment... Well "wrong" "peculiar" "ugly" "not to recognize" i am thinking all the time. At the end i like it sometimes, but hate all the negative feelings i had. At the time i get advice in a watercolor course, but if I am on my own i will try.... and it can go in an ugly direction, where i don't find out. Then i go on or try it again, but still i have trouble to be satisfied with my results. Mostly i like some things like the colours or the the shapes or the perspective or... but not the whole thing. Or i get lost in experiments which i enjoy, but they don't have direct results in a painting.
I'm 4 months into my water color journey and took a side path. I took a deep dive into sketching because i want to try larger paintings. I'm taking photos for subjects. It's time to jump back in.
I'm recovering from an arm surgery, and had to stop painting altogether for over a month. I'm starting to paint again with a half-functional arm, and the results are so poor. I'm so discouraged that I haven't even picked up a brush in days. This is the first time I've thought of giving up.
The place to start is exploring why you want to paint in in the first place (: Let me tell you one thing I realize as time goes on - results are a very poor motivator for creating. In other words, wanting a “good result”, or an accurate painting etc… these don’t tend to create desire / motivation for most people (though they do for some). There’s a very real motivation to paint, that goes far beyond that. It may be worth finding that 🙏🏼 Keep me posted and wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
@@LironYan thank you Liron. You're so right. I can't really see myself giving up. I sat down yesterday and just played with my pigments and just watched them blend together WoW. My stress just melted away, as it always does when I just paint for the joy of it. That's enough for me, and that's why I paint.
I find this quite inspiring in a sense. Its kinda reassuring to know that those who have mastered the art of watercolor (at least from my perspective), still "struggle" to find themselves satisfied with their results sometimes. I´m a beginner, like extremely new to watercolors (less than 2 months); but been drawing and sketching my whole life in other mediums. A few months ago I got caught up in some watercolors videos, including yours, and couldnt stop watching...so I bought some watercolors and a couple brushes and decided to give it a go. I´m not good at all, cant even say that I have a handle of basic technique, but I´m having a blast just painting. I honestly dont care that much about the result, just enjoy doing it. And I´m definitly planning on buying some of your courses soon, and maybe look up some others to get a good grasp of the basics at least. Keep inspiring us!
Great video as always! I tend to lean in the opposite direction where I get hyperfixated on trying to solve a problem on my own and completely forget that I might be able to find help from an external source, lol. I find that I go through periodic bouts of frustration with my art especially after finishing a couple projects that I'm extra happy with. The solution for me is also to just do some stuff solely for the fun of it rather than trying to work on any particular technique or with a particular goal in mind.
Great video! I look at my successful paintings now and wonder how I even did it. Feel like I'm in a major slump - like, even tho I've taken no real breaks from watercolor painting, it's like I forgot how to paint all of a sudden.
Yes, this video really speaks to me. I had some really nice botanical style florals that came out well, then suddenly it was like I didn’t know what I was doing! My sketch would be good, but the paint said “no way”. Then it was like that sheet of white paper was staring at me accusingly, saying “go ahead, I dare you”. Now , it just seems too daunting.😢
I am switching from graphite to watercolor because I am bored with graphite. 30 yrs of graphite and now I feel like a 6 yr old again with watercolor. I am a tight detailed perfectionist, and WC is an Awesome challenge. To give up representational art for the love of creating color. No fear of mistakes but just doing it. My WC's are ugly😂 but that's ok😂❤
Thanks for this! I am trying to paint a portrait of a friend. I have made eleven attempts. I am copying the style of a RUclips artist. I never quite captured the likeness. So I will try another subject. I’m not ready to give up. I have on,y been doing watercolor since 2019. My RUclips artist has a 30 year history. Trying to be kind to myself! Liron, you are a great teacher…and role model!
Michele (one of my RUclips teachers) said, you always learn something, if you finish something; even if you’re not happy with the results. So sometimes, a project does not go as planned (do any of them, really ?). But, by finishing until the end, you will have had an art lesson for the next time. Sometimes, the blocks are truly hurdles…….So doodle for a couple of hours to redirect your thoughts. Then face your stuck project again with renewed interest.
Reasons why i wanted to give up watercolour are: # unable to manage multiple media, # ugly results when i know i never practiced those subjects before, # oils and pastels are easy and calling me than watercolour, # the commercial thinking( maybe will be sold out less than oils), # too much thinking involved at every step in watercolor as its unforgivable, # people response to my other media and to watercolour...Now..what made me continue? Time management, practicing each aspect of watercolour separately, ignoring people and seeing long learning curve of many artists..also i dont give up challenges easily. However im still thinking too much during watercolour which cant help😊
Yes I have given up on art, Whenever I see any video its makes me feel cry, The artist keep on adding colours to the sheet without saying what logic is it for. I have been trying really hard on colours, but when trying on my own i end up with dark muddy brown colour. Thats my story to give up.
I think @Mmmmonexx just posted something about that. The title was: WHY YOUR WATERCOLOR IS SOMBER & MESSY? - SOLUTION CLASS, if you are interested. I was having the same problem with not knowing why my watercolor attempts were turning out strange. the frustration is deep because we are so invested in understanding what went wrong. The eye understands that something is wrong, but the hand doesn't yet know how to fix it. Good luck with whatever you do next, internet stranger. We can do it!
Oh, I just remembered another video I watched too. How to Avoid Muddy Colors when Painting - Color Mixing Secrets Demystified for Beginners by @Makoccino. The explanation on color bias in watercolor paints was very helpful.
I'm sorry to hear that you are frustrated. There could be a lot things going on with your painting, and I'll try not to hazard any guesses. But I think it may be helpful to realize there are no bad colors. You can't make a single bad color if you tried. They only begin to look less right in relation to other colors. Realizing this I think could help give you some more confidence and perhaps a starting point to testing what makes a group of colors go wrong and what makes another group go right.
אני לאמת יואשת, אני כן 8 שבועות אחרי ניטוח בגב. על ידישיקום באתי להבנה עמוקה שאני בזכות קו סטודנטית( אני סטודנטית לפסיכו תירפיה לאמנות חזותית.)עכשיו התחלתי להבין את העומק של הMedia watercolour. אני חייבת גם להתחבר ולהתחזק הרישום הבסיסיס. הdemo מעוד עוזר לי תודה רבה.
My problem is that I want whatever I do to be GREAT. EPIC. I can’t stand doing something that looks average to me. That’s caused me to procrastinate in just about everything I do. My wife will say “Show them the yadda-yadda you did.” I usually think “No, that’s horrible”
It brings me joy. It isn’t a job description but truly something that I need to do and have always had an intense desire to do so. It also gives me a deeper appreciation for the beauty and intrigue of nature at it’s very core and it’s designer. One lifetime would not be enough for me to delve into the love I have to do this. 😊 And you?
I’m on the verge of giving up every day. I produce things I don’t like almost every time.
Sometimes I feel the same about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (a few months in).
Yet I keep going every week… 👀

This was a big one for me to figure out
Yes - you always hit the nail on the head - periods of feeling stuck & feeling like what’s the point BUT can’t quit - LOVE the magic in the painting. Need to pinpoint my issues & work on them - got it - thank you 🙏
Happy this one pointed you in a useful direction 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Congratulations Liron ! What you have done in 8 years in the medium most watercolor painters don’t achieve in a lifetime! I salute you !
Thank you so much John! Really appreciate the kind words ☺️🙏🏼
The watercolor rabbit hole goes deep
Whenever I come back after a break, I always paint a painting using a "Master's" painting. Either Watercolor or Oils.

Paint like a Master until your confidence comes back then move forward with your own work!
I do the same thing.. Look for inspiration from others and since I don't sell it I feel it's ok to copy or at least feel inspired by it
Keep practicing. It is the pain that makes it worth it. From great frustrations shall come great break-throughs... eventually.
Liron, I think your advice about watercolors is actually advice about living. You are a sage and I appreciate your wisdom.
Your videos are what I really need. You're a good teacher with healthy advice. After I paint, I cry a little then try one more time. Thank you
Great advice and insight, as always. People give up on things for many reasons, I myself have experienced this too. Sometimes we just find that "we drop the ball" at some point, usually due to other things going on and forgetting why we started.

I also spend far too much time watching YT videos about painting.
You said it all …
I find not having a clear vision of how I want a painting to look is a problem for me. When I do have a clear vision I lose focus as I proceed through the painting. Losing focus causes me to have to react to what I have painted to salvage the painting. However giving up is not an option.😆
solving specific issue in your painting is really key word what you said here.superb

I gave up twice. Now I'll continue. ❤️
This is so true, and why i usually prefer what i make just playing, on a scrap of paper that i don't worry about wasting. No pressure.
I'm a digital freelance artist and when I'm about to give up (for whatever reason) I just force myself to take a break from my usual art routine and I go to the paper sketchbook.
