Just a quick point to all those smartypants below who say there is no such thing as an incorrect way to do something: Incorrect in art is when the result is not wanted and/or the intent is not met. When most people pick up watercolor or any other medium, they expect to paint to the strengths of the medium or what is traditionally expected of watercolor. This man is providing you with instruction in how to meet the common expectation of the medium and need not include a disclaimer that it his opinion on how to use it--that should be self evident.

I love that you acknowledge that sometimes the streaking and splotches CAN actually be a design CHOICE.

I also don’t tape my paper down when I’m working, because I like how it crinkles up after it drys that way. I’m strange. I know, but hay, I do art for myself, not a museum.

Thanks Liron! I love that you not only showed WRONG and RIGHT ways but ALSO how to FiX a wrong result to improve it. After years of painting in acrylics I have finally started learning to paint in watercolour to do plein air painting (or "urban sketching") as it is so portable. I love how fast drying it is, yet unlike acrylics the paints in my box are easy to re-hydrate if they dry out in the outdoors. It's been hard learning to do washes and blending instead of my acrylic style. Because i can see and paint better in strong colours i have been afraid for years of learning what i used to think of as "wishy-washy" pale colours, but I have been trying with the help of generous people like you, and already i have been selling my watercolours. Thanks again.

Lion, this video helped me understand what I may be doing wrong. Many people have advised me to do wet on wet more than not. That really does not work as well for me. Wet on dry gives me more control. I have been an oil painter for over 50 years and now that I am retired have started several new mediums, pastels, acryrlic and watercolor. Each one is very different. The basic skills are still used and since I learned a more traditional way of doing oils, I am pretty well schooled. Your explanation of each medium was especailly helpful. I wonder if there are several artists that have encountered the "unlearning" part. I worry that when I return to oils, it will effect the quality of work in that medium that I have acheived or perhaps new knowledge will enhance it.

Good lesson. I think that if someone is going to use that patchier look, they had best do it enough so that it is a deliberate style for that piece. I recently looked at a nice work by Nitin (whom you just interviewed), he used a very slightly different colour to offset a distant tall building from the background sky. The edge was distinct, but the look was very smooth and even within each separate part.

Every video I watch of yours is 'exceptionally' helpful and I gain more knowledge and understanding of watercolor! Please make more...! THANK YOU! You are inspirational.

the "bad" one was actually a little better from the start

Thanks for this. I teach watercolor classes and it is helpful for me to see how you explain and show people how not to do it first and then how to do it better. I sometimes have a hard time getting that across to people.

Very inspiring. I love these quick painting exercises that are easy to follow.

Useful. At the moment it’s hot and drying much quicker, so much easier for the ‘bad’wash to appear. Can see I need more water now, same as the garden.😃

Great demo Liron! I do agree though! I prefer the texture that you got with the "DON'T" but the vibrancy in the "DO". I have a few tricks myself when it comes to getting a smoother wash. I dampen the paper with water that has a bit of oz gall in it, It really helps the paint to flow a lot easier. The most important thing though is the paper. Watercolours is one if not the only medium that the paper you choose can make or break your painting. It takes a bit of experimenting to find the one that works best for your style or technique.

My inexperience contributes greatly to streakiness because I need too much time to make decisions. This time of year with high humidity works in my favor!

@sketchingjohn1852

One trick is not too be too fussy, just lay in your washes and don't worry about always coloring within the lines. That will give you a fresh look, though not as photo-realistic. I need to leave more white space too. Another option is to paint more vignettes, and let the white space frame your subject, and don't worry about coloring the background right up to every inch of the main subject I often need to leave more white space too, so it's an ongoing battle/style judgement. Don't know if this is of any help, but I tried.

@brandonsmith4872

6 жыл бұрын

No idea what you are referring to but to place plain white spaces in the piece itself like a highlight, masking fluid is a great way for people who don't have as good brush control for small or even large areas. If it's those dots and thin strokes you see on some spaces like the eyes, its white ink from a pen or white gouache (if you want something strong but still a bit opaque) Another way is to not actually leave any white. Really thin/pale washes of the lightest colour on the object not painted over as you build up the layers work well too. It's all about knowing value and lighting.Gives it a softer strength to the highlight/white area, yet maintain its pop effect. No clue if this helped but I tried....

Very helpful video - thanks!

As a beginner, I definitely do the contour painting 🥴. I outline and then fill in. I’ll try to be more mindful of that next time I practice

👏 Thanks, I'll be checking out your other videos too! 💜 😍 🌹

Although 4 yrs old, STILL a great video. My view of 'mistake' is when my intentional goal for the medium is not met and the outcome displeases me for one or 2 reasons: 1) because I cannot consider it a 'happy accident' (ala Bob Ross) OR 2) I cannot recover my goal with adaptations and skilled correction techniques. As a weaver, one can weave 'tapestry' on many types of looms, eg my rigid heddle loom, but there are specially designed tapestry looms uniquely built for this type of weaving. Learning to weave a 'balanced' plain weave did not prevent me from later experimentation with other weave structures.

Very interesting; I think that once you know how to do it the right way, it is hard to do it the wrong way.

great video, and commentary. I’m a total beginner with this, but I see what you did here. You used more passion to fix the “wrong way” and that made you focus on fixing it with all your heart, and it became better. Even after the first wash, that person that made the mistake wouldn’t do as you did, keep it wetter to fix it. I’m glad you aren’t a pool shark, you wouldn’t be able to throw a game :-) and I think your focus was on fixing the left one, so you didn’t put all you had into the right hand one. I tried painting tonight, watercolor, and it was terrible. I have a hard time controlling the paint at all, the edges. I see I attempted a way to detailed painting so now am going to look at your videos dedicated to more beginner stuff. Thanks, I keep coming back to your videos. Your commentary is great.

Great video. Subbed! A ton of great tips in here, especially for those of us who always have worked with acrylic or oil and try to bring those styles to watercolor... it never works, haha~

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I have a question. In the second step, when you add a "darker mixture," what do you mean by "darker"? Do you mean the same colors but more saturated, or different colors (and if so, which colors did you use as the "darker mixture." Often when I have tried to add darker colors as a second layer, it ends up looking washed out. I realize that water control might be the issue. But it would help to understand what colors you are choosing. Thanks.

Thank you for watching Ann 😊🙏🏼 Great question - the answer is it'll depend. Sometimes I'll use a similar / same color in thicker consistency (less water, more paint). But very often I mute (gray) the shadows a bit, so I'll mix in my other primary colors to get it a little more gray (: A lot will depend on what you see on the subject / reference. Often there's reflected light that influences not only the value of the shadow, but also its color

In this video, between 13:00 and 13:20, as you were adding the second, darker layer of green to the avocado skin, you mentioned “picking up a bit of a darker paint” and using "a darker mixture." That's what I was asking about, not the shadows. At that point, were you using a thicker version of the same mixture you used in the first layer? Or were you adding a darker color (which I assume would be a blue)?

Yasmine S. What's on your reading list, Yasmine?

I think the left one is just a more illustrative approach (except the streakiness) and the right much more painterly. The left one handled details much better because of the dryness, it exudes more control.

Well explained and exampled....

the way you say the word "dark" is giving me chills. what paper are you using ?

Thank you! Very accurate explanation! Could you tell me how you decided to drop the shadow behind the seed? Because on the photo it was so light but your painting looked more 3D!

I think the paint and the brush and the paper are very important factors to achieve this. I have tried a notebook (195 gram), and that feels really different from a 300 gram paper (less easy to get wrinkles so it would not change the water flow). I have recently bought a natural-synthetic mop size six brush, and it is much better than my synthetic small brush since it could hold more water and the colours dry slower. I know nothing about these when I first start.

One of the problems with wet on wet is color run in or "color bleeding". A color will have the tendency to run into an area that's already wet with another color. Wait until the painted area is dry before applying another color next to it. The videos are edited and it may not actually show that some time has passed before the application of the other color.

Its mainly about water control. You can see there is a slight colour run when he adds the burnt sienna (this section isnt edited or has dried as previous commentor has suggested). He doesnt use excessive water on the page, and so when the colours touch, they dont run easily. It seems you're having some trouble with unwanted bleeding. Try reducing the amount of water on the page. (This can be done through brush control, or less water in your paints). I hope this helps a little.

It can work both ways, if you want to allow the paint time to dry and not mix. That’s another possible way of doing it (: But then you have to be accurate, and make sure you don’t re-awaken the paint (unless that’s a specific effect you are going for). As long as the values and drawing are accurate it will look good, no matter the technique (works like magic haha 😛)

thank u

18:50 That would have been a good opportunity to lay down the brush on it's side and in one brave swoop get the texture at the light to shadow transition. Your finished piece looks more like a painted egg than an avocado. Avocados always has the avocado dimples.

how to control the water? bcuz sometimes when i use very wet brush, the water blends the colors too much together and damages sharp edges.

but.... I like the look of the wrong way better O_O other then richness of the avocado flesh - the avocado on the left just looks better to me. the on on the right has edges that bled into each other too much - makes it look messy instead of intentional to me, something I struggled with a LOT until an art teacher very emphatically said: "use the hairdryer between your layers!"

Liron Yanconsky I‘m using a 300g watercolour paper matte. It‘s Perfect Ideaz made in Germany but I guess it‘s of lower quality. Yes I will try that! Also, does your paper dries flat or it will crinkle up slightly? PS: I tape the sides of my paper.

@@michellelizabeth87 I see - yes, that may help 😊 My paper buckles a bit, but if you just allow it enough time (or use a hair drier, or put it under direct sunlight 😉) it will stretch back really well! So don't worry about the buckling too much. I see many artists continuing to work on the paper while it's buckled, and it still dries flat and beautiful after a few hours 😁🎨
