Hi there, Liron here! In today's tutorial I'll teach you how to get the right contrast in watercolor, to enhance the feeling of light and shadow.
I used to have a tendency of darkening the darks to much. This would hurt the sense of light and shadow, and three-dimensionality.
With time I learned to balance this out, and I think this process is a good example of that.

The hair 😂💖 I absolutely love it. You’re the cutest
Haha thank you 😊🙏🏼
An older vid I really enjoyed making!
Oh man you make it look so easy ...
Really NICE!
I love this; it looks so easy when YOU paint.
thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love it. I love the way you share. It’s so helpful to be able to watch you work. The manner in which you walk us, talk us through ur process. I learn so much from you. I’m not trying to become one of the greats, though I do want to leave my children and grandchildren works I’m proud of. With ur help I feel like I’m accomplishing that, so I thank you again and again 😊
Loved seeing the color changes in the shadow areas and how immediately lighten using the tissue.
Liron, this one is so beautiful.. your choice of color is great. The side of the face with a bit of red makes the face just glow.. gorgeous..!!
Thank you! ^_^ I'm so happy the color selection resonates with you (:
Fantastic. So helpful, Liron. I love the contrasts of shadow and highlights. It gives the painting so much more life. Great lesson. I always come away with a new trick or two up my sleeve and they never fail to help me improve my work. Thanks!
Happy to be able to provide these tips and tricks 😉🎨😁
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us.
Really always enjoy your videos, Liron! Sure wish I lived closer to NY or even to Ohio. Would like to meet you in person! Thanks again for all your information!!!
It's so beautiful.....
There is so much to learn for me. Your contrast and smooth transition is awesome
I'm going to paint that same angel TODAY!!! Loved this one, Liron.
😊🙏🏼
The greater the contrast the greater the potential... Energy comes from a great tension of opposites... learning to see contrast is about controlling the way you look at things... If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at tend to change...
Again great video Liron
Hi Liron.. ty for this video and the effort in helping us out... maybe u can show us the daily exercise outputs so we can follow it right through
Très,très intéressant, mais difficile sujet!Bravo!
I loved this. Gives me courage to try.
Liron I can't thank you enough for making this video, I'm going to do it like a study doing it step by step your way first so I can see how it comes together than use this concept towards my portrait studies. I love this background it's not your "normal" style, when I saw this I was like whoa Liron amazing on Instagram and have been waiting for this one my friend xo cheers from Canada xoxo
Thank you again, I need to learn to simplify, so often getting caught up with the details, and getting fussy. In appreciation of your teaching.
I tend to get too realistic, thanks for showing different ways to use vibrant colours. Great video, thanks
We all have our weaknesses and problems in painting. Personally, after these last three years of painting, and making good progress for me it's simply seeing reality either in a good photo or real life ( usually a photo) and being frozen by all the visual information. I've watched endless videos of yours Liron, and others and I fall into the usual trap of not knowing exactly WHAT to include and leave out, emphasize or play down. I don't seem to have the 'vision' or as I call it the 'inner eye' . I end up with a decent painting but too detailed, just not loose enough.
Any way you can show us , e.g., in an urban painting how to simplify?
Please advise me paul rubens and white night watercolors which one is better
I think White Nights are a little easier to use (: But both are pretty great so maybe go for the cheaper one
Thank you , i love you too much from vietnam 🇻🇳
Mycke bra! Tack! :)
Liron, aghhhhh! The palette.......! Lol
You talk about working large vs. small. To me, that is large! I’ve never worked on a piece larger than 9x11! I think I’m stuck on my paper’s “preciousness,” and fear of ruining it and wasting good paper. I am sick of using small brushes though and fighting with tiny details. It really would be so much easier working bigger and looser. An ongoing battle......
Christina Todd same here! Love painting on arches, but being cheap.... I will start painting on both sides!😂
You don’t have to work larger, simply use larger brushes! That’s the MOST FUN 😁 small paper big brush
@@LironYan That's something I started doing and my paintings started getting bigger.
What palette do you use ?
My main one is the Mijello 18 wells palette (:
