Hi there, today I'll introduce you to an observation.
You may or may not have had this before.
But if you haven't - this one single thing can IMMEDIATELY upgrade and transform your watercolors.
It has to do with how light behaves, and the extent to which different objects affect each other's appearance.
I hope you find this useful.

“Paint what you see” - the catchcry of all good art teachers…. This result is a perfect example of this excellent advice.

« You don’t have to do anything. You just have to see everything » That’s so good !!! Good advice for young therapists too! :)

Though reflected light isn’t a new concept to me, your explanation and application (and showing the difference between both paintings) managed to make the concept come alive in a way it hasn’t until now. When a concept comes to such life in my mind, it has the power to change everything-if applied, of course. I intend to apply it this very morning. Thank you for another incredible lesson.

@LironYan 28 дней назад

So happy to hear! 😊🙏🏼 I think application will also be a by product of seeing this (:

I think sometimes reflected colors can also make the painting look more confusing (?). Once, I passed by a tree next to a red brick half wall, and the tree trunk reflected the red color of the bricks. If I painted just the tree (no wall), the viewer might think, “What tree has red on it?” So sometimes I don’t know whether to include reflected colors or not. Sometimes, when I have to include it to make the picture make sense (ie, the red wall), it would mean I have to add more detail….. and that makes it feel more overwhelming.

@cynthiagame435 27 дней назад

It has been amazing to me lately how mundane things or scenery is transformed by light. I have been noticing where my eye gravitated to every time I take a brake. We were driving home once and my husband said that the view was beautiful. He never noticed anything there before on our outings. So I looked carefully. The sun was shining on a field. But it had the same qualities of reflection as we would see on water. How? There was no dew probably. The coloring was the sky, not the yellow of the crop. So since I have been noticing this everywhere, I thank you for demonstrating the execution of the concept. I think the depiction of light reflections is the single most important aspect of art. Think about it...that is what the highlights are, right? I loved your example photos. They were very stimulating. A series on this topic would be lovely, thank you Liron and Patreons.

Very timely! My workshop Saturday I’m teaching on reflected light and color. Not an easy subject to grasp or master. You did great at explaining it and kept it very simple so that anyone can understand. I think it becomes instinctive as you practice it. But of course you need to be looking for it. Our minds are so easily fooled. Or maybe just too quick to catch all the details. Artists must slow down and really observe their subject matter.

@LironYan Месяц назад

YES (: All the above pretty much. But once you see it, it's very hard to unsee it - and everything sort of takes care of itself (: It may take time, but it will take care of itself eventually. Good luck on the workshop! Looking forward to hearing about it 🙏😊

@simfimpim Месяц назад

Hi Liron, did you let the painting dry before painting the darker layer?

@irlGlitches Месяц назад

I am obviously not him, but it certainly looks like he did. I know a lot of tutorial videos don't say it & they skip the dry time, you can tell by how matte it looks when it is dry. I wish that early in my watercolor adventure tutorials showed a frame with how long it took to dry! If you let watercolors dry completely in between layers you won't get that "blooming" that happens when you touch a wet edge. A lot of people use a hair dryer over the piece a few times to get a layer to dry faster.

@TaraSueSalusso Месяц назад

Brilliant work. I’m very curious about why you use the brushes that you do throughout the painting. I think I saw three different brushes. It would be nice for you to comment on what you’re painting with and for what purpose when you’re giving your demonstration. I know your first brush was a calligraphy brush, which I have noticed from time to time being used in watercolor. I have some, but I’ve only used them when using ink. I haven’t considered when I would use them in watercolor. I guess I feel a little intimidated by them. Can you comment about the benefit? Thank you so so much for all you do to support us Artists out there in the world.

@LironYan Месяц назад

Thank you so so much! 😊🙏🏼 Huge coincidence but Saturday’s video will be exactly about that! 😁 Will share with you all the main brushes I use, and what they are most useful for!

@feliciabalza7474 Месяц назад

The idea is not new, but I learned it only after starting to go to academic drawing classes. However, it's really hard to capture all those slightest changes of color, which our eyes actually does identify but mind would be able to transfer when painting. I usually end up painting in colors that my camera sees. Even if I draw from life - still looks like drawn with photo ref. Desperate, I now try to upload it to an ai model - and then try to repeat how it plays with colors / practice some color schemes etc. 😢😢😢😢

@LironYan Месяц назад

Haha I quite like this idea of using AI! (: Whatever works for you, there's nothing to feel bad about in my opinion. I think some of the issue begins with time. Watercolor is a bit more demanding, and beginners feel they don't have time to slowly paint what they see. I'll try addressing that in a video soon too
