IMPORTANT Wet-In-Wet TIP | Watercolor Technique!

My Art and Creativity PODCAST:

Snapchat: LironYan3

Hi there, Liron here!
Today I want to share with you a pretty significant insight I had, in regards to wet-in-wet technique in watercolor.

It has to do with controlling the edges by the brushe's MOVEMENT, rather than by timing and thickness of paint (so not just how wet the paper is, and how thick the paint in the brush is).

I'm still figuring this one out, but I'm sure you'll greatly benefit from it 😊🙏🏼

Brilliant. Liron, Brilliant. One of the best Toutorials you ever made.

one important thing to remember on wet in wet is to know how you paper behaves too, it very much depends on how much and in what composition the glue is.

[BigDomski]

This is pretty interesting. I knew that whenever I lift the brush, the paint just kinda does it's thing but I didn't pay much attention to what you've showed here - the controlled part of a stroke. Thanks for the tip man 😁

Wow...excellent...you are inspiring not just to but..to be experimental and innovative when you are in a such advanced level in your art....you must be very humble at heart and a earnest seeker of Art!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨✨👌👌👌

Interesting, but from what I can see, it's not the movement which makes the difference but the contact. As long as you have the brush in contact with the paper - moving or not - the paint stays in place but when you lift it, the paint left on the paper spreads out. I guess it's because the capillary action at work in the bristles of the brush opposes the capillary action in the paper fibres like a tug of war. When the brush disappears, the paper capillary action is free to dominate and so the paint spreads. It's a great observation which shows you are still learning and sharing what you learn. Mastery lies this way. Thanks,

Where have you been all my life. I have been struggling with this for years. Thanks

[ashleywright]

Aren’t epiphanies wonderful? Love your videos. I always learn something new. ❤

[stinar]

This really is brilliant, and I bet if you kept q-tips on hand, you could use them to absorb some of the water when you are ready to lift up the brush.

[working...pleasewait...]

Your tips really rekindle my passion for learning watercolour!

[cindybtanner]

This was an invaluable tip. Thank you, Liron.

[kaliopinikitas]

This really IS an epiphany! Super helpful and really appreciate you sharing this technique with us. So excited to try it later today. Thanks, Liron!!!

[rainbowfox]

What. a terrific insight! It indicates that if you stop the movement that the brush gushes the paint out.

[silylily]

Wow, kinda crazy I still haven't heard anyone else talk about that. Very interesting, thanks!

[paulah]

I love epiphanies. As artists we will have them occur the more we paint and explore the medium. I also call these lightbulb events!

[jitendragholap]

Thank you so much for sharing this very useful tip...👍

[oliferous]

Dude! Seriously, how has there not been a ton of videos or information on this out there?! I think you’re really onto something here man, great work! Brilliant!🤘

[tracyleecornish]

Hi Liron These tips really help, especially with shading definately going to work with the watercolour now not against it. Thank You

[MrPuddinhead]

Great tip! I love these aha moments. Thanks Liron.

[jojoblablabla]

Thanks for sharing this observation, it makes sense after you pointed it out it’s all about how the water is moved and where it ends up accumulated. Interesting.

[josephprimavera]

Just caught this vid. Very helpful technique. Can't wait to practice it. Thanks!
