    Hi there, Liron here!
    In today's video I'll teach you some advanced brush control techniques in watercolor. These may seem hard at first, but with practice you'll start getting these.
    Here are the two main points:
    1. Work in parallel to lines and outlines
    2. Learn the width of your brushes and how the pressure you apply influences them.

    The 'fresh wash' as you refer to it is EVERYTHING in watercolour; what you are teaching is invaluable if only students realise this. V/good.

    Thank you for making this tutorial. I noticed I often make a mess when play in the same area but now I know how to improve it! Thank you again!

    This is a great reminder for 'Old Hands' too, so easy to fall into bad habits the more you paint. Well done and demonstrated Liron.

    Liron, this type of short but to the point type of video is invaluable. I really needed this one. Perhaps by practising those brushstrokes I won't 'overwork' my paintings so much. Thanks ! Tzipora

    This tutorial is amazing!! I've been searching for this kind of information for weeks, as my visible brush strokes have been sucking my creativity away. But you've given me a lot of techniques to try, and along with the practice exercises from another of your videos, I am super excited to pull out the paints today. It's crazy to me that this information is so hard to find. Not only online, but within the dozen books I've collected over the years. Many Many Thanks!!

    • @LironYan

    Thanks for this it was just what I needed I have noticed the intentional way you use your brush on demo videos but it didn't click in my brain as to how this makes such a difference I will watch over again till I have it concrete in my head Thanks again

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  5 лет назад

      So happy it finally clicked! This is why I try and tack a topic from many different directions. People sometimes need different angles to learn a concept (:

    @ptstrngr12345 5 лет назад +1

    @jenniefrench1338 3 года назад

    Using the shoulder to make long lines is far more reliable than trying to use our wrist. So a right handed person goes from left to right using their shoulder and holding the brush further back and a lefty would start from the right usually. Good review Lirón.

  • @oreed
    @oreed 4 года назад

    Wow, this makes so much sense. I definitely dab carefully when I want to have fresh confident brushstrokes. I'd sacrifice accuracy even for more freshness so I should try to keep your lesson in mind. Thanks!

  • @Gwentheknitter
    @Gwentheknitter 5 лет назад +1

    This was really helpful. I watch a lot of painters on RUclips. You are correct that people don’t describe the brush control so much. In fact a lot of people are the opposite and talk like you need to treat your brush like a rare antiquity. Sometimes when I watch your videos your strong pressure makes me nervous because I fear ruining my brushes which are expensive.
    I am going to go practice these now. Thank you.

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  5 лет назад

      Haha happy I could help with that 😉😊 My brushes are great and it’s been quite a few years, so hopefully that gives others permission and courage! 🎨😁

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  5 лет назад

      I agree, that’s a great point and I almost always paint a bit outside the lines! 😁 When done out of desire of freedom as opposed to lack of skill - it’s wonderful! (:

    Do you always add new paint from the tube for your demos or did you just add water/prewet your paints before recording? I've noticed how easily you load your brush with the paints. Also did you rinse your brush between colors? All strokes look so colorful and clean.

    • @LironYan
      @LironYan  5 лет назад +3

      I sometimes squeeze fresh paint out, but this time I didn’t. I’m using a lot of White Nights paints, and I find they rewet very easily. Also - I’m not afraid to really push the brush into the well (which I see many people are afraid of), which is how I get these strong vibrant and pure paints 🎨
