Loved what you said about familiarity with the painting can distort the way you see it, and to sleep on it. Someone I used to work with said that the "pixies" fix it while you're sleeping!

I've had that second photo saved on my computer for months and was planning on painting it, now I have a better roadmap of how to do it.

Great demo as ever, there is no-one on KZfaq as good as you at these watercolour tutorials. Familiarity blindness, this is a real problem. If I did it, I hardly ever think it’s as good as everyone else’s. There was a painting of an elephant I spent a whole day on, I was so frustrated that I threw it in a cupboard and later just left in a folder for over a year. Then I found it again and was so pleased with it I framed it and still have it on my wall. I have no idea now what I thought the problem was. Weird!

Painting water with water. Trippy.

tried this, and it came out so realistic looking! thanks for the wonderful tutorial!

Excellent explanation of the light and shadow effect. Very helpful. Thank you.

Most of my paintings have a remarkable recovery overnight. I blame the fairies for it, well really thank them. It's possible I've lost some eyesight. LOL I love your tutorials.

Wonderful tutorial on water drops. Thanks so much for painting in real time and having commentary as you paint, I appreciate it. I've worked on a painting and felt it wasn't looking the way I wanted and set it aside over night. The next day when I look at it I usually say, hey it looks pretty good after all, and am happy with it.

This was really helpful! Thank you for these videos. I'm just starting my watercolor journey and your videos have been very helpful.😊

Wow, this was a fantastic lesson. You explained it so well. Something I want to learn and work on more. Thanks, Liron! :)

It was so interesting to watch how the shadow, which looked way too dark when wet, lightened up so beautifully when dry. I don’t think I will ever be able to confidently do this technique. I’m always so worried about going too dark to soon. Another great instructional video. Thank you!

Maybe you could apply the masking fluid with the tip of a toothpick?

Think is an important video. Painting the shadows an reflections to bring the light, and maybe the results don’t fit the expectations and that’s what is great, the process. Thanks L

Very cool, thank you for doing this topic! I like seeing different textures/surfaces and how you go about portraying them through watercolors.

OMG!! This what i was thinking of making. Really wanna try this out . Amazing artwork 💙

Love this one!

Hey Liron. I finally got around to attempting these 2 today. The 3 drops were more challenging because I went way dark with the initial wash. The second one looks (how shall I say) not bad. Very happy I tried them both! It's a great exercise! Thanks!!

Beautiful paintings thank you Liron

Loved this! Thanks so much Liron!

Than you. This is explained so well! Try a toothpick for very small drops or lines. I saw a guy use it for animal fur and it's amazing.

Thanks for the demo! If you use pebeo's latex free masking fluid you can put it in a fine tip paint marker, I use a 1mm marker when I'm painting miniatures.

I love these! Great tutorial!

Use a toothpick or a sewing needle to make a small dot with masking fluid.

Bravo ❤ 🌹🍀🇩🇪

Very helpful. Thank you!

Very nice

Nice video, Liron. For applying masking fluid in small quantities, try a Ruling Pen. This works well for me. These are available from most art supply stores and, of course, Amazon.

How much I am struggling with this lol! Thank you for te helpful tips!

Great video thank you my friend 🙏😘I actually have a tip for you!! That excites me, its a new feeling haha. I use the silicone pastel brushes to apply my masking fluid, I get really great fine tip when needed and the masking fluid doesn't ruin a brush. They also have a tool that works really good but usually I just use a silicone brush, makes my life easier :)

Hey Liron. Glad to see that you're okay. 😊

This is awesome sir

Nice! Thank you.

If you use a small nib you can get a smaller sized masking fluid area

I also feel better about a painting when I walk away from it for a while and come back to it with a fresh eye.

Use architectural pen for tight masking and or straight lines thanks 4 video

Unfortunately, I can’t post a picture of the brush I used, but these are tiny eyeliner brushes. I think that I got from Amazon. I’ll try to send a link. I will wet the brush then I will run it over a sliver of soap, not too much, and it’s great for making really tiny dabs. Then I will rinse out the brush and I can get probably one or two more uses out of it. These brushes are inexpensive and not so precious that you can’t throw them away.

V nice

Interesting...thank you

I'm very interested in watching the video you mentioned regarding simplification - have you posted it yet?

It’s the same for me when I take a picture of my art. In real life I’ll think it’s awful and then I take a picture of it and decide it’s actually really good. Or when I look at the picture I’ll see that a whole area of my sketch that I thought was good is actually wonky and needs to be redrawn.

I use a tooth pick for small areas.

Do you know if there’s a latex-free alternative to masking fluid? I’m allergic and I haven’t been able to find one yet that has the same effect.

Super cool! 🐬💦

Colour shapers could be used for masking fluid...very small tip

What did u use that white gel???

Need specific color detail
