Hi there, Liron here! In this video I want to quickly demo a watercolor technique I believe is quite underrated, and great for beginners.
I’m talking about the ability to hold a smooth & flowing wash, while varying the values & colors.

The beautiful thing about this technique is that you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how much detail you want to include.
Sometimes it’ll be almost as loose as an underpainting.
Other times you can be quite detailed and finish a big portion of the painting in one go.

But no matter which way you go - I believe this technique will greatly help!

On a different note, I’m striving to greatly improve the contents of this channel.
This means a better view of my palette, water bucket & paper towels.
It means higher quality video.
It means showing my face too in the processes, if that helps 😁

And overall trimming the fat - shorter intros & outs etc…

I also consider changing the schedule, and perhaps reducing it to 2 main vids a week, and lots of INTERACTION with you in the comments, as well as posting SHORTS every day.

Let me know your thoughts on this, and I will see you in another vid soon 😊🙏🏼
