Hi there, Liron here!
Today we'll talk about painting according to your vision, AND how this translates into a process.
I'll put extra emphasis on watercolors' strengths, such as creating beautiful smooth transitions and edges.
I hope you'll enjoy this one 🙏

The opaque blue in the shadows really makes it.

Thank you! 😊 I’ll probably experiment with this approach more and more

I love the soft horizon, the gouache highlights, the cliff - it's all fantastic! I am attracted to the stark beauty of the desert, and this inspires me to keep trying to improve my desert paintings. Thank You!!

I really enjoyed watching this video not only because it deals about the subject that I like most but also because it was very informative. Thanks for your tips on the use of gouache for the lights. It was very useful. Keep up the good work

I don't really SEE the nuances of this scene until I watch you paint it! (I've never been to the desert; perhaps that's part of it!)

Love your commentary style-and yes, that horizon was amazing

@theartisticactuary Жыл бұрын

Thanks Liron. Interesting stuff you did with the opaques at the end, which reminded me of my big discovery of 2023. It's a way to add texture to walls, tree trunks, metal posts, anything really. I get some titanium white watercolour (PW6 and opaque, just like the gauche you were using). Mix it up pretty watery, paint a stripe along the edge of the shape I'm interested in, paint water over the rest of the shape and encourage a bit of bleeding, then dab off all the paint with kitchen paper, not too quickly but not too late. Get the timing right and the whole shape gets an amazing texture. Discovered by accident like all good watercolour techniques. Wondering now whether I should try out a variation of this but with some colour mixed into the white.

Now that I've learned the term 'high key' so well explained, I think it was helpful to comment on brightness & saturation, that darkest is not brightest and that each color hue has a unit sweet spot for it's brightness.

Hello Liron, I hope you are safe! Yes regarding color, understanding the value is the challenge not so much the actual Hue. Thank you for responding and be well.

@bethjames9246 8 ай бұрын

Hey Liron, I think the reason people ask what color is it is sometimes a value issue not a hue issue, at least with me:)

@LironYan 8 ай бұрын

Do you mean some colors are naturally darker so easier to use? So knowing the color helps also in achieving the correct value? Let me know, and thank you for watching 🙏🙏♥

Excellent work Liron. Saw the importance of multiple layers ( taking care of how wet the paper is) and the lovely effect of the jaune brillant. I must try it as an alternative to white gouache.

Thank you Barbara! It’s a great option indeed 😊 It provides a perfect warm highlight

Do you always sign with a fine tip marker?

@LironYan 8 ай бұрын

I usually sign with a rigger brush, but sometimes it's more practical to use the white gel pen (if the area I want to sign is darker)

@HateKillDestroy87 Жыл бұрын

i dunno Liron... you inverted the chroma on the left side of the picture, the yellows are close to the observer, the red/orange hue is far away from the camera. You have some bright yellow and naples yellow and then you start transitioning to ochre with a bright red hue and at the end there is red/orange tones in the farthest part of the land BUT the big rock formation on the right side is outstanding. well done !

@LironYan Жыл бұрын

Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Sometimes I go with my gut and it leads me in strange directions that don’t make full sense technically speaking 😂

@HateKillDestroy87 Жыл бұрын

@@LironYan i think you are just used to darker values near the PoV so you inverted the colours. I would have used the darker tones at the horizon as a pretext to use some light violet or light purple to calm down the red/maroon hues of the darker tones of the land. Anyways... the focal point on the right was gorgeous !
