Hi there! Liron here 😁
In today's vid I'm showing you how I use wet-in-wet technique to paint BEES!
Similard to birds, funny enough, bees are another great subject - allowing looseness & a relatively easy pleasing result.
Their fuzzy texture also works really well with the way paint spreads in water.
Here are today's reference photos:
1. pixabay.com/photos/bumble-bee...
2. pixabay.com/photos/bee-lavend...
Colors are:
Yellow Ochre (M. Graham)
Neutral Tint (Daniel Smith)
Undersea Green (Daniel Smith)
Pyrrol Scarlet (Daniel Smith)
And time-stamps:
00:00 - 🙋‍♂️ Introduction
00:15- 🐝 1 - Wet-in-Wet
04:45- 🐝 2 - Wet-in-Wet
10:55- 🐝 1 - Highlights
12:28- 🐝 2 - Highlights
13:55 - 🎨 Learning From Mistakes
14:23 - 🙏 Conclusion
And as an aside - I'm slowly improving my setup here, and soon I'll have a proper front camera.
I also arranged things so that I can film everything together using OBS, making my work process much more effective & streamlined.
Good things to come!!
Looking forward to seein you in the next vid!

My friend recommended this channel to me. I'm super impressed. My whole problem is to find ideas... To work on and to grow on me. I used to draw so much and I loved it, but now I just feel empty and can't think of anything. And painting humans etc was never my thing. Heeeelp anyone, I rally want to go back to my favorite hobby 😅

I love it🥰 i adore the way everything flow in a very fluid process on not controlling things just letting the paint and water do the work . Love it 🥰 it gives a lively dreamy look that a super control rigid style doesnt bring to me

Love it. I like your teaching style. You're so natural; it's like being in your studio. You don't talk down to your audience. I don't think I've ever heard you say "you guys", so thanks for keeping it simple and personal. And also: your lessons and explanations are endlessly helpful.

Hi Liron! I have enjoyed all your lessons so much. I typically only use wet in wet when I'm painting a very loose background, because I haven't been able to control it. But you mentioned at one point (either in this video or another one I watched) that as long as you keep the brush moving, the paint doesn't explode everywhere in your wet in wet (I think "explode" was my choice of words, because that's how it always feels to me!) I experimented with this last night...and WOW! What an eye opener! Thanks so much for sharing all your knowledge. I've learned so much from you. Maybe soon I'll catch one of your live critique sessions and submit a piece. 👍

Quite an accurate background, very good proportions. The next step for whoever wants to take it further could be to go with acrylics over it and add details, however it's reasonable amount of work for a tutorial. I look sometimes , there's people like you that just pick up a brush and make everything so simple, I always find myself complicating things.

@LironYan Жыл бұрын

Haha, yep! No need to complicate (: Get the main shapes of value & you’re good 🎨 Sometimes - the majority of details aren’t even necessary

Thanks, nice lesson Liron. I agree: I hate bees, badly breaking my ankle recently was 1/100th the pain of a bee sting. Last time I was in bed 3 days with a poisoned leg. However, I love the little fellas for saving our ecology!!

@@LironYan I ain’t pushing fast recovery: beautiful spring weather, sunny apartment, plenty of paid sick leave, what else can I do but paint and draw, and make you lose it with laughter with a primary school joke on live chat?? I love it!!!!

Good video, the first is a bumble bee, the second a honey bee. I am a beekeeper and love bees, but at some times not so much...haha... I know how nasty a sting can be. Been stung by a bumble bee as well and that really hurts!

@LironYan Жыл бұрын

Thank you Sheila! 🙏😊 The FFW course is around 4 hours and 20 minutes, with 26 lessons. There’s also a bonus lesson of ~20 minutes, where you can watch a demo with me speaking Hebrew (with English subtitles) 😂 Let me know if you end up getting it!

Interesting statement, losing track of your subject while painting. I think I do that!

If it wasn’t for bees, humans would be in BIG trouble. The Bumble bee looks really good, but the honey bee on the flower is just a blobby shape.

Enjoyed the tutorial on bees. BUT .... the box with you in the frame is too distracting. I have no idea why you think it is needed.

@LironYan Жыл бұрын

Haha it worked well in past tutorials! Usually when it’s front facing. Once I get the 2nd camera properly set up we’ll give it another go. And if it’s too distracting I won’t use it (less editing work for me 🤷‍♂️)

@justanother6595 Жыл бұрын

Disagree. Liron uses it to good effect, actually. And throughout most of the video, the box filled less than 1/6th of the frame, so I'm not sure why you're making this such a buzzworthy point.

@regig.9493 Жыл бұрын

I agree, it's not necessary. Maybe a front facing one and only 1/4 of what's there now, to make it more personal.

@differentlens7731 Жыл бұрын

I disagree. I quite liked it! 👍😊 Lots of negativity in the comments these days.

@shawnieleaf2277 Жыл бұрын

I like seeing the artist in frame. To me it feels more personal. However the environments I feel that it works best is when people will green screen the rest of the environment (and the camera will be front facing).
