Hi there! In today's video I'll show you how I paint a watercolor portrait with no pencil lines.
This is as direct as it gets! And it's also great fun.
Give it a try!
One important thing I mention at the start - having some kind of a personal connection with the painting will make it 100 times better.

This is so liberating! I started out drawing faces in pencils for a few years. Then I tried watercolor and wanted it on my faces. Hit a wall , stopped doing both. It’s encouraging to do it your style, with no constraints about “rules”; more like having fun creating anything. I need this fun to get back to what I enjoyed before, before I lose my dexterity. Thank you very much, Liron!!! 👍❤️

I have stated doing just about the opposite thing recently. While using a Thorvald mechanical carpenter's pencil, I discovered that the regular lead is water soluble. They don't brag or mention it. I have just started playing with it, but I am having fun with using it in my watercolors. I am starting out with dark values already set and adding color to a loose values sketch that blends into the watercolors. Nothing i would want to show to anyone yet, but it's a fun option.

You made a very handsome groom Liron ~ such a motivating factor to my artistic journey❤! FYI yesterday when I was making a painting I did in fact, correct it by making the area around a section that needed to look darker. I actually lightened the area around it to bring it much more to the forefront, and worked perfectly great advice. You can correct problems by leaving the problem alone and improving the area around the problem spectacular!

@laurisaksa5328 4 ай бұрын

Thank you this was exactly what I needed for this moment in time. It feels frustrating when you wanna paint freely and flow, but your programing of thinking you need to paint accurately kicks in...But just watching how you do it helps a lot :)

Coming across your channel has changed my outlook on watercolor. Let me just say that I appreciate the other artists on this platform so much, but I just can’t here another creator tell me no matter what I do it will be wonderful. It’s refreshing to hear an artist tell me what I need to to do in order to improve, no bs, no fluffing. I’m excited to use your pointers to improve my painting.

So happy to see you painting a self-portrait-- I do remember asking you to do one. Love how you did this -- it just highlights your inimitable style & showcases your amazing talent. I've hit the notification bell so as not to miss any future videos. Thank you for sharing, Liron, I've learnt so much from watching you paint. (Will try to do my next family portrait in a much looser style.)😊

It was entertaining watching you paint your self portrait and the process of painting directly without first doing a pencil sketch. Excellent tutorial.

Thank you! So happy you enjoyed this one 😁🙏 Will definitely do more direct paintings (though not another self portrait for a while haha!)

I must say Liron...I love your videos. So many videos push specific formulas for how to paint and steps, etc. While it is necessary to learn the fundamentals I love your free approach of "Just do what you want, play, have fun creating"

This is fun! I will try it with another type of subject. Maybe a car. My last painting was a baby portrait, I probably used 8 glazes, it’s beautiful absolutely but free, no. Looks close to the photo. I get totally lost in it. I love your style. I haven’t really landed on a style yet, I’ve been painting 2 years now.

I’m digging your work and loving your wisdom and advice. I want to dive into watercolor after feeling a bit disenchanted with gouache, which feels very “in between” to me (neither translucent nor quite like oil.) Watercolor can be intimidating though.

@Surai00 4 ай бұрын

When I lose my hustle, or sometimes when I finish a section and feel it's still bland, a voice in my head says, "MAKE IT ART!" and then I lose my restraints and get in there. Mistakes happen. But, is it really art if there are no mistakes and the handling of them?

@silvialuridiana8147 4 ай бұрын

is your course Frustrated with watercolor about these themes?

Yes, it has very similar themes! There's not a fully direct (no pencil lines) process there. But it's as close as it gets (:

איזה כיףףף. אשמח ליותר פרטים על הקורסים. כמה שיעורים. מה אורך כל שיעור. באיזה אופן אני פעילה בקורס. האם יש איזה ליווי לעבודה שלי. האם צריכה לדאוג מראש לציוד מסויים... מברשות מסויימות... מסרת מעט מדי מידע כדי להרשם ולשלם על המקום...תודה

הכל אינטרנטי (: בגדול מקבלים גישה לאתר שבו יש את כל השיעורים של הקורס. אפשר להיכנס לקישורים בתיאור של הסרטון וזה יספק את רוב המידע החשוב. מבחינת התכנים בגדול, בקורס המותאם למתחילים יש כ-4 וחצי שעות של תוכן, מחולק ל-26 שיעורים. פלוס שיעור בונוס של 20 דקות מהדגמה בלייב - בעברית אגב!! מקווה שעזרתי 😊

Hi Liron, I would like to try some Lebenzon Brushes, as i am a student I don`t have to much spare money, could you lend me some? No, I just wanted to ask if there`s a chance you could renew your discount code, on the homepage it says it has expired. Thank you so much for your great work!

Haha 😂 You got it! 💵 I reached out and they are now renewed. Use Liron for a 15% off. I believe it was 20% in the past, so please note that it should be 15% now. Let me know if you get them and how you like them 🙏
