Hey yo! Liron here 👋
In today’s vid we’ll learn a quick exercise for painting looser & freer watercolors!

The gist of it is painting a simple, black & white photo, WITHOUT any pencil lines.
We’ll be creating the WHOLE thing using watercolor, with a big focus on SHAPES.

Enjoy! ❤️

I like the way you're doing these light but confident touches ! so jealous !!! )

[sabellablake]

Thank you, is a good exercise, nice weekend.

I've learned more with your brief tutorial then I have watching other tutorials for a month! The way you talk us through it is wonderful and it really helped me with the loose painting!!

[barbarafrohlich]

Thanks - your teaching style is very approachable & supportive as always!
Doing a tight drawing results in an ‘uptight’ painting for me & I start to get lost in finicky details which can be fun but usually not my intention; a very loose drawing opens things up but you’re correct: no drawing is very freeing & I’ll try to do it more often thanks to you!

🕉Thank you, Liron for this vid. Inspiring and also relaxing. I just needed to wind down and after watching you painting felt happier and motivated to embark on my daily walk. This time with a brush and a sketchbook. Sorted, then🖌

Great video buddy! Last week I bought the realism course. I can’t wait to start it.

לירון, אולי תעשה כמה סרטוני הדרכה למתחילים בצבעי מים בשפה העברית? לפעמים כשאני מציירת בצבעי מים הצבעים מתפזרים ללא שליטה אז אשמח לדעת איך לשלוט בהם

[debrarozin]

THis looks like so much fun. Can't wait to try. Thanks again!

[CharleyWang]

You did a great job and the monochromatic effect was a great exercise. Great advice and demonstration.
