Impressive demonstration. And it's just so effective to have the two examples side by side so we can visualise what you mean so easily. Which doesn't mean I could replicate any of it (yet) haha. Thanks Liron!

Sorry to say, no matter how boring you think the left painting is, it just isn't. Its lovely, you are too good!

Explaining while you are actually showing brush strokes has opened my eyes so much to what I always "see" - I always think youtube videos look easy to follow and copy and when I start it is much harder (due to different paint quality, paper and brushes - then I often give up) But I have actually tried what I am learning from you and because I understand better it comes much easier to practice more and more. Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼I’m so happy to hear! I find often that a skill gap is also a part of it, as long as the material aren’t completely terrible (: Which is totally fine, I experience this a lot (thinking something is simple because I see it with my own eyes, but when I actually try I completely mess up 😂)

The all green trees on the left were winning until the shadow was applied to the multi coloured ones on the right. That made all the difference. Enjoyable lesson.Thank you .

As a beginning painter, I found your use of color fascinating. It is definitely an adventure to look at the depths of differing colors in nature. Thank you!

Love your passion, energy and teaching technique. You are one of the best watercolor instructors on KZread!

It seems to me that your method is better for communicating the feeling one had when viewing the scene, to the brain. After all, we watercolor to tell people what we felt when we saw it, not literally what was there. Great lesson. Thank you.

@LironYan

😊🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you

the point is that if there is not enough water in the paper the magic doesnt happen. Controlling the water on the paper and in the brush is the thing we should master. Yes using dense/thicc colors or even pure is exciting but at the same time things happen when u let the water and the pigment in it flow to other areas. Be excited if the color flows around ! p.s.: i would also look around for what is the focus of the picture and what is not. If there is a lot of dynamic range in the subject or the focus area you shouldnt use that much water unless u want to use dry edges with the darks later in your work

So enjoy your tips, your energy, and generosity. Can’t wait to try this method of painting. I’m learning a lot from you!

What a wonderful, generous teacher you are - very focused, the perfect amount of explanation and detail. I am a novice - your explanation of how and why to use pure varied colors is so helpful to me.

I thought it looked weird at first, but when the whole thing was completed , I was amazed. I see the difference dude. Almost photo realistic if I use my imagination.

Very informative and enlightening especially to a novice like myself. I love the way the colours stand out on the right example but as you said, there is always a place and time for the example on the left so thank you for presenting this video it was truly helpful.

Actually, I have found myself drawn to this mixing on the paper, the first artist I had recalled doing this that I saw was in a book by Joseph Stoddard, and he mixes his trees similarly and his colors are very vibrant and powerful also, liked this video.

Thank you Liron, for sharing your talent and insights with us. I'm just getting back into watercolor and appreciate artists like you who take the time to teach others! You have an easy going and friendly way that makes it easy to listen to you! Thank you so much! I love the trees -- even the ones that you didn't like! (I'd be happy if mine turned out that well LOL.)

Thank you for making this video.. you have rekindled my love back to water color. I worked in this medium for a few years and got totally frustrated.. my teacher at the timenever showed me how to make my pictures come alive... so I tried other mediums...this demo was amazing for me... you are also a very effective communicator to get your ideas across... I am now a devoted fan and will be looking forward to other videos.

Hello Liron, I have been looking at this video soo many times over the last two years I believe. It is one of the best ( I have so many of your videos it is not funny) tutorial to clearly demonstrate how much variety of greens you can mix on wet paper and to reach the very effect of colour and look your looking for. I find that solely using directly from the ready prepared dispensed colours are sometimes limiting yourself to have the natural blending effect. I’m not sure if I explain it clearly but it’s what I feel and how to deliver the appearance of effect of mixed coloured paint on wet paper. Thank you so much for being my mentor and librairie/référence go to.

This was an awesome demo! Makes so much sense. Thank you. Can’t wait to give it a try.

I just found you and am very impressed with your demos and teaching technique! Love the side by side examples to really show how one technique is superior to the other. Looking forward to learning so much more from your channel !

Love the demonstration, it really helps to see the difference between the two approaches.

I love watching your tutorials, Liron!

This was interesting. As a person who lives in the Evergreen State in the US, I look at trees in nature. I can see more variance in the leaves of the deciduous trees than I see in the evergreen trees. Even on a sunny day, those trees with leaves seem to change color depending on how much wind there is and the position of the sun. The evergreens are green much like the trees that you did in the first set where you mixed the colors on the palette. It could just be me; but, I see more color variety on the leaves of the deciduous trees than I do on the conifers.

The trees you painted on the left resemble our evergreens, but I understand what you're saying because your technique would be good for the deciduous trees.

Great lesson ❤the one on the right wins 😊looks so full of life

Excellent! Yes,,, critical to keep pigments pure/uncontaminated. Mixing on pallete tends to encourage stirring and stirring which flattens the molecules and they no longer reflect light as they do when left sperical (not flattened out) by letting them mix on paper. If I do any pallete mixing, I don't stir... ie: I just drop pigment into another on the pallete and let it migrate on its own dipping into the mix I want gently. Note: where you used purple/rose mix, I use pure PB60. I agree with you on Patrick's skill. I do wish he would talk more when painting or type what pigments he's using on the screen. I know its a drag to do but it really helps. Thank you for doing that on your videos. I find that most of the youtube creators who might describe their style as "impressionistic" don't do pallete mixing... or at least not much reserving it for areas they intend to be dull.

The pigments already went through heavy industrial rollers (or if by hand, a glass muller, grinding/mixing them with like 20 lbs of force for 10-20 minutes straight), I find it hard to believe that a flimsy brush is doing anything new to the particles mechanically

@@2lmdi There may be a difference, but it's not going to be from "particles flattening" since they've already been through much worse. It could be something like, for example, the binder used being a little bit hydrophobic so when diluted a lot, particles clump up more, or something like that. The distinction would be important for pinpointing what options there are to do something about it.
