Hi there, Liron here (:
If you're having a hard time with paintting big washes - you simply don't have to...
Instead, you can decide to focus on one ssmall shape at a time.
Somee processes lead more naturally to this, while others can be tweaked to make it work.
And rarely, a subject matter may require big washes with great flow.
But this here, is an example of a scene that lends itself really well to this kind of process.

Hope you enjoy this one,

    Stay safe! We need you💕💕💕 I just bought two of your watercolor courses! I have improved in just two days! I love your courses because they have really helped everything click. I want to be free. Being worried and tight makes timid paintings! And a great price! Also, I bought your how to shade book. That’s helping a lot too. I have your other books in my Amazon cart! More extreme wet in wet videos please💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

    When I saw you paint the wall red I was like, “why?” But when you added the blue it was like magic! Amazing! Had to pause the video to comment. ❤ Also I realized how you are dealing with bombs and sirens and the threats in this video. I wasn’t sure if you were near the fighting. Praying for you and all of Israel. God is with you. 🙏🏻 Now I will continue watching. 😊

    Thank you so much for the kind words ♥ We are an extremely tiny country, when an alarm goes off in a nearby city, it's realistically the range of 10 km max. We hear it all. All my paintings on our walls got gradually crooked due to constant impacts. Thank you once again for the prayers and support, I really really appreciate it 🙏🙏

    Honestly this is my favorite watercolor process. It takes a lot of practice but I think it’s worth it. I think watercolor always looks its best when painted in a single layer. There’s a certain vibrancy and translucent and cleanness you get when you don’t keep layering over it

    @@LironYan I have taken the step into trying Michael Harding watercolors. If you were closer I’d give you some to try. They are definitely different than others, yet I can’t pinpoint why. I can say I feel “satisfied” when I paint with them and don’t want to use my others, of which I have way too many. 🫣 I even sent him an email. But I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you, 🤣. I’ve used them for almost two months now, and they are great. Come see me and we can “play”. 😉❤️

    @@LironYan I’m still trying to figure it out. It’s hard to pinpoint. They are very pigmented! Thick when fresh, almost reminds me of gouache. Yet not! lol! They do take a couple of days to “set” up. I’ve read they have honey, yet Dr Oto Kano, had on her site that is unknown. I think one thing is the colors are so vibrant that what you paint is what you get. Depending on the water of course, but they only take a small amount to get big color!

    It's funny, I feel like I have the opposite problem of feeling challenged to match a colour, but a lot of the time, realistic colours can be pretty boring! I find myself wishing I could have pushed it somewhere prettier, more vibrant, instead of painting everything with the same dirty grey that it is in real life.

    I understand EXACTLY what you mean. I have found myself losing interest in the middle of a painting because it was a constant chore mixing the gray reds, blues, yellows, browns, greens etc. There is a cure for it, and I think it lies in my recent vid (Last Watercolor Technique You'll Need): kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJaixtaCZteej9I.html Because at the end of the day... color matching... coulds also be used / viewed as a technique (:
