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 learn..... 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!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨✨👌👌👌
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.
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.
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!🤘
Very helpful! It's kind of like you're pushing the water along with the brush to get the straighter edge, then when you lift the brush the water fans out. Can't wait to try it, thanks! Love your enthusiasm, Liron!
This technique is amazing, I can't wait to try it today! Thank you for posting all of your amazing videos! You are so helpful and I love your "How to Shade" book. My husband and I are learning a lot from you! Thank you and Stay safe!!!!
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,
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.
Wonderful tip. I’m trying to figure out how I can manage not to get any blurry area at the end of the stroke, to get only sharp areas. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
It won't affect this technique much, but it matters generally for other things (: Perhaps on hot press paper this may feel a little different, but the same principle will apply - moving the brush continuously = more controlled edge (: As for papers I enjoy - Saunders Waterford is my fav, Arches is very similar, and recently I also enjoyed Baohong!
For me it was always annoying when the surface tension broke while lifting the brush but I started to handle it in different ways. Here are 2 of them: 1. I kinda do it like you but when i want a flat area I just drag it to a part where it isnt obvious that there is more pigment, for example a narrow area. 2. I paint the area, lift my brush and dab it just a tiny bit on a towel so it is capable of taking the excess water and pigment that was left on the paper. But you have to be careful because too much and it'll take too much of the pigment and water away.
Instead of brushing through the wash, you could use a dabbing technique for a flatter wash, as featured in this video: ua-cam.com/video/1IVGJAbowQg/v-deo.html
That's the more common way of doing it (: My big epiphany here was that while moving it - it won't spread as much. Hopefully I didn't misunderstand you comment
Brilliant. Liron, Brilliant. One of the best Toutorials you ever made.

Your tips really rekindle my passion for learning watercolour!
This was an invaluable tip. Thank you, Liron.
My pleasure Cindy! 😊🙏🏼 Thank you
What. a terrific insight! It indicates that if you stop the movement that the brush gushes the paint out.
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!!!

Hi Liron These tips really help, especially with shading definately going to work with the watercolour now not against it. Thank You
This will help in painting petals beautifully

thank you
Great tip! I love these aha moments. Thanks Liron.
Great tip Liron!
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!🤘
Awesome! Thank you Sir.
Thank you so much for sharing this very useful tip...👍
This is great for rendering realistic smooth fabric!

Great video. There are so many watercolour techniques yet to be discovered.
WOW! Great lesson - good teacher - thank you!
Aren’t epiphanies wonderful? Love your videos. I always learn something new. ❤
Thank you 😊

Thank you!! Useful tips 🙂
I'm impressed by how well you got that Sugimori style done. And that Mew is awesome! I love his little toe beans.

Just caught this vid. Very helpful technique. Can't wait to practice it. Thanks!
That's so interesting! I never knew!
I can't believe it took me also this long to realize this haha 😅
Watercolor teaches us something new every day!
Brilliant! Thank you Liron
Such a useful observation! Thanks!
As always, truly inspirational stuff Liron. Thanks for the great tip.
Where have you been all my life. I have been struggling with this for years. Thanks
Priceless!
Wow!
Nice one dude that was very insightful, can't wait to try it out. Cheers.
Thank you as always, Liron! I love your tutorials ...and you always make me laugh!
Great tip. Thank you. I can see how this would be very useful in painting florals too
Nice! Can't wait to play!
Awesome tip and demo. This is very useful. Thank you for sharing!

I love epiphanies. As artists we will have them occur the more we paint and explore the medium. I also call these lightbulb events!
I have learned so many great tips from you. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you....really good demo!
interesting observation...this will definitely help me to gain extra control over the colors...thanks for giving such insights
It makes so much sense! Thank you for this tip I will definitely use it :):)
Really cool tip Leron! Thank you! Will try it out!
Sweet! It’s a very useful tip! Thank you for sharing.
Wow, kinda crazy I still haven't heard anyone else talk about that. Very interesting, thanks!
Good tip
Beautiful 😉🌸🍀🌿
TYSM! 🙏
Wonderful tip. I’m trying to figure out how I can manage not to get any blurry area at the end of the stroke, to get only sharp areas. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
great!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks
Very helpful. But the type of paper you use also matters right? What watercolor paper would you recommend? Arches?
It won't affect this technique much, but it matters generally for other things (:
Perhaps on hot press paper this may feel a little different, but the same principle will apply - moving the brush continuously = more controlled edge (:

Excellent advice ❤
you didn’t show what the dried result was, but thanks for the interesting thoughts

It moves because you’re leaving juicier paint on the paper.
:)
I think the first few tutorials I saw where a fluke. I have unsubscribed.
Thank you for this! Useful.
