Hi there! In today’s video I’ll share with you an exercise I do regularly to improve my control of the brush, and the quality of my brush marks.
A big part of watercolor painting is being able to express lines and shapes the way you imagine / plan them - and this is one way I found for improving your ability to do so.
So let’s do this!

Really like this as a basic exercise. Great for those times when inspiration hides from us, but basics are key!! Thanks
So glad I found your videos. I have no idea how to "practice art", thank you for teaching this!
Great warm up exercises. I often use your hash marks exercises for drawing warm up. Thank you for sharing Liron!
Great exercise , Liron. Gonna try this out as practice
I’ve been doing an online course using wet on wet, and have been so discouraged because the instructor is talented, but moving along way too quickly. I did a search on RUclips for this and watched one of your videos on this, and it’s really helpful. Now I’m watching this, and it’s great, too! It’s fun doing an actual painting, but watercolor takes practice and getting good at technique. I want to be good at it, and I always love the learning process. You are a talented artist AND a really good instructor!
Thank you so much Anne 😊🙏🏼
So happy to hear this approach works for you!
I like to isolate the skill I practice, and do it like that for a while.
That way, I find that it naturally clicks once I do go for a fuller / complete painting (:
Great lesson.
Great idea
I'm going to do this with the paint colors that I don't really like, or have way too much of. I don't like my sap greens, and have WAY too much phthalo blue. And the cheap paper that I don't like, either.
Me here dying for pthalos, ceruleans & manganese blues…
Thank you Liron. This is also a great exercise for trying out a new brush.
Very nice, I will practice...
Best exercise liron thank you
Liron!! Great exercise!!! Thank you 😊😊😊
That makes sense. I'll have a go thanks.
Great video. Thanks Liron.
Good reminder
This is fun & has been beneficial 🙏
Something i think is important. Especially every time i get a new brush. My favorite is an isabey travel brush with kolinsky sable but cant get it any larger than a size 6..boo hoo...thanks for this...another practice day coming up.
So close to 100k subscribers 💪💪
Can you show us how Henry Percy gray painted his paintings and what brushstrokes he used? Either on Patreon or here? I’m trying to paint trees like him but I’m struggling
Great idea! 😊🙏🏼 Will have to dive deeper into his work.
His trees look great (:
Please, can you tell me if I can use paper that is not 100% cotton for practicing things like brush strokes, painting those odd shapes exercises, etc.? I can see where there are some practice sessions, like blending or washes that would need good (Arches) watercolor paper. But, it is expensive! IF you only recommend using good paper, then what is your strategy for using it for practice? Do you buy a large sheet and cut it into smaller pieces? Do you use both sides? I bought your course, and you don’t say anything about paper (or I haven’t come across it yet).
Hi Liron, I've just purchased your FFW course, but I closed the webpage and now don't know how to get back in! I haven't got the email yet either (checked spam), help!
