This tutorial is amazing!! I've been searching for this kind of information for weeks, as my visible brush strokes have been sucking my creativity away. But you've given me a lot of techniques to try, and along with the practice exercises from another of your videos, I am super excited to pull out the paints today. It's crazy to me that this information is so hard to find. Not only online, but within the dozen books I've collected over the years. Many Many Thanks!!
This is a great video Liron, I haven't see other artists explaining this and it really makes a difference with watercolor. Great job my friend, I'm loving your groom you're looking great 👌🙏🙏🙏
Liron, this type of short but to the point type of video is invaluable. I really needed this one. Perhaps by practising those brushstrokes I won't 'overwork' my paintings so much. Thanks ! Tzipora
Using the shoulder to make long lines is far more reliable than trying to use our wrist. So a right handed person goes from left to right using their shoulder and holding the brush further back and a lefty would start from the right usually. Good review Lirón.
Wow, this makes so much sense. I definitely dab carefully when I want to have fresh confident brushstrokes. I'd sacrifice accuracy even for more freshness so I should try to keep your lesson in mind. Thanks!
Thanks for this it was just what I needed I have noticed the intentional way you use your brush on demo videos but it didn't click in my brain as to how this makes such a difference I will watch over again till I have it concrete in my head Thanks again
So happy it finally clicked! This is why I try and tack a topic from many different directions. People sometimes need different angles to learn a concept (:
How come nobody ever told us this? That's why I always say that you're the best teacher. Thank you, Liron! I will stop wobbling and dabbing right now! :)
Wow!!! I have watched you demo time after time and saw how you painted your strokes but this time I REALLY saw how you do it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, liver, spleen, or wherever the bottom is. What a great help!!!!
You have an exceptional control over the watercolor wich some says it's watercolor most difficulty to control the flow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Genius. Wow. I now know at least half the reason I’m getting patchy results. Now that you just came out and talked about this I realize I have seen more experienced painters than me doing this but it didn’t register for me. A thousand thank yous.
I just made a mess of a garden scene! Because I was doing just that.. working it too much and way too many variations of green! I’m so upset! I need to loosen up the brush! Thank you! This will help!!!!
Thanks, I have been messed up several of my cards because of not having this knowledge. I think this will help a lot. Your video was my first, it was great: Short and with focus on one technique which is so practical!! Very helpful!! 😊
This was really helpful. I watch a lot of painters on UA-cam. You are correct that people don’t describe the brush control so much. In fact a lot of people are the opposite and talk like you need to treat your brush like a rare antiquity. Sometimes when I watch your videos your strong pressure makes me nervous because I fear ruining my brushes which are expensive. I am going to go practice these now. Thank you.
Liron Yanconsky can you say what brand of brush is your smaller aqua color brush is? I have a bunch of silvers and Lowe cornells, but I really like what that smaller brush is.
Thanks for pointing this out, I can see it and pay more attention to how you do that in your vids, great! (And the trimmed beard's lookin really good Liron LOL!)
I teach elementary kids and have seen them make this mistake. I tell them to follow the shape of the objects they paint but I like your idea of filling up shapes as an exercise. Going to give it a try in my classes. Thanks for sharing!
Do you always add new paint from the tube for your demos or did you just add water/prewet your paints before recording? I've noticed how easily you load your brush with the paints. Also did you rinse your brush between colors? All strokes look so colorful and clean.
I sometimes squeeze fresh paint out, but this time I didn’t. I’m using a lot of White Nights paints, and I find they rewet very easily. Also - I’m not afraid to really push the brush into the well (which I see many people are afraid of), which is how I get these strong vibrant and pure paints 🎨
I agree, that’s a great point and I almost always paint a bit outside the lines! 😁 When done out of desire of freedom as opposed to lack of skill - it’s wonderful! (:
Could you post the link to the other video you mentioned at the end of this video with more great practice ideas? Thank you for this and all the great content you create and provide to us on UA-cam.
Thank you for all your valuable videos and your amazing personal approach! May I please ask the brand names of the two brushes in this video? I want a no 12 round with a round tip like yours! Thank you!
The 'fresh wash' as you refer to it is EVERYTHING in watercolour; what you are teaching is invaluable if only students realise this. V/good.
Thank you for making this tutorial. I noticed I often make a mess when play in the same area but now I know how to improve it! Thank you again!
Vital information for me! Thanks for thinking of things others do not teach! Love your explanations and clear visuals.
Thank you for this video. I needed this as a refresher for my brush stroke technique. You are an excellent teacher.
❤ My favorite tutorialist. Why did it take me so long to understand the importance of practicing brush control?

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊🙏🏼 The nuances of watercolor can get quite granular and specific haha. Happy I can help with some of these 😁
Liron, you are THE best art teacher! Loved this video: VERY helpful! Mary from Toronto.

So happy this one clicked for you, thank you 😊🙏🏼 I want to do more of these quick but “no fat” types of vids!

This is a great reminder for 'Old Hands' too, so easy to fall into bad habits the more you paint. Well done and demonstrated Liron.
Thank you my friend 😊🙏🏼

Haha happy I could help with that 😉😊 My brushes are great and it’s been quite a few years, so hopefully that gives others permission and courage! 🎨😁
Liron Yanconsky can you say what brand of brush is your smaller aqua color brush is? I have a bunch of silvers and Lowe cornells, but I really like what that smaller brush is.
Wow you’re the only artist that spoke about this. This is what I personally call an actual art hack. Thank you so much!
😁😁 Happy I can help!
Thank you for your help. I never thought about it, will observe how to use my brush properly in the future. Thank you thank you much appreciated.
Brilliant exercise. I am advancing in watercolor and this is a great way to practice minimal strokes. Thanks Liron, I haven’t seen this anywhere else.
Thanks, Liron. I've seen a lot of videos but I haven't seen this subject before.
Going to try it right now! Thanks Liron!!!!!
Very helpful Liron, I will start to practise. Thanks!
Nice and easy. I like the short and sweet technique to try
Thanks for pointing this out, I can see it and pay more attention to how you do that in your vids, great!

Amazing! Let me know how it goes 😊🙏🏼
Great video again, thank you Liron. Dianne.

Liron some 1st washes outside the lines in certain areas can be a nice subtle technique, but nevertheless very good painting. You're great! Thanks
I agree, that’s a great point and I almost always paint a bit outside the lines! 😁 When done out of desire of freedom as opposed to lack of skill - it’s wonderful! (:

Happy I can help!
Thank you! I felt like you were talking specifically to me!
😊🙏🏼 So happy to hear
Thanks!
Great tutorial, Liron! Now I get why my washes are so blotchy! 🙂
Très utile, merci!
thanks, this is very helpful..
Thank you for all your valuable videos and your amazing personal approach! May I please ask the brand names of the two brushes in this video? I want a no 12 round with a round tip like yours! Thank you!
Thank you
Awesome ❤️
Funny! I just last night worked on the negative shape fill exercise you talked about in another video.
Awesome! How did it go? (:
@@LironYan not too bad. I still need to work at it some more.
Thanks for these great tips! I am guilty of dabbbing; I'll have to practice these techniques :D)
Haha we all are at some point! I’m sure you’ll get it! (:
Watch some of Charles Reid videos, he does the same thing, another benefit of this technique is the points on your brushes will last much longer.
I love his work (:
very nice dear like#
What brush size are you using?
Size 12!
Hopsa the beard is gone....
😂
and the advantage of being a person whos not only right handed but also left handed I can paint easier xd
Haha and the best is being ambidextrous 😂😉
