Hi friends!
In today’s video I want to share with you a full still-life painting process in watercolor.
I really enjoyed working on this one, and although there are plenty of things I’d like to improve, I’m still pleased with the result.
This painting is a good indication of where I’m at right now with watercolor painting. I feel like on the one hand I’m becoming much more competent in the basic (micro) skills, but things don’t always tie-in together as I vision them.
This video is a little longer, as I left everything in there, including the mixing (you can finally see the palette, and so I wanted you to be able to see the mixing action as well.
The only thing I sped up was the drawing process that runs at x2 speed. This was because it’s a little slow, and the drawing here is relatively simpler.
I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed painting this (:
And I’ll see you soon, in the next video!
– Liron

I caught my questions answered in yr tuts …. bell peppers!
Do it again…. more loosely! Please, I thnk that would answer my previous question.
I’m confused…. I thought first wash was more random of color… the second wash defined the objects. What am I missing? This first wash… ala prima in this case?
This is excellent for me! Being self taught watercolorist I missed all of these basic skills….. this is helping me. You have become my morning cup of coffee. I listen and watch, save it and go back to it later to paint it myself. Thanks again!
I’m so happy to see how you handled shadows on the white cloth. I’ve painted several snow pictures recently and only one really worked out, basically because of the mess I made of the shadows. I think the technique you showed here is exactly how to create snow! I’ve got 6 beautiful lemons from my friend’s Meyer Lemon tree, so maybe I’ll even try a still life now! Thanks for all you share!

25:50 "all comes together somehow magicly " ha ha ha :')
i don't know how they do it either ._.
Beautiful
wonderful, Liron! I love still life. I always laugh at your mijello palette! You will use every micron of pigment before you refill it, and I am also sure that you already know how you will set it up, bahhaha! I might be off here-but me? Id wipe it out and get busy with all those happy new colors you have aquired! Dude, you need some paint!
I love the fact that you talk about what went wrong with your paintings. There are way to many artists on youtube that would have not shown or talked about there mistakes and just redo the video and act like they are perfect. I am not perfect and my paintings turn our more like yours because I am new to watercolor. I especially liked your "My watercolor mistakes that I watched last night. It is so nice to hear when things go wrong than all the videos where the artists seem like they never do anything wrong. Your channel is definitely my fave. Keep it up. You should do longer videos on patreon I think you would get a lot of followers. lI have some good ideas on how to make good money on Patreon if you want to talk let me know.
FYI…’moist’ is the most hated English word. Just a little word trivia for you! 😊✌️
Adding the pure red made it look like an apple to me… Perhaps you have an issue that I do from time to time. I don't get the hue correct because I'm painting what color I think is there (tomato = red) rather than what color is actually there (in this case, tomato = red-ish orange).
tater & mater are very common slang out here in the western states, never heard of potater though. not everyone will use them but they all know what they are. usa uses lotsa slang – so much so they even put it in our dictionaries. 😀
I like this Liron. I just wonder why your palette is so lacking in paint. There is so little paint in the wells of your palette.
I wouldn't take it too much further. Maybe a rusty glaze over the shadow of the lemon to indicate light reflecting from the onion and a few glazes to suggest light reflecting off each object into the shadows on the cloth.
Nailing the color perfectly isn't so much important as values and reflected light. We can get away with murder applying color as long as we get those right, LOL
If you decide to repaint it are you going to film it again ? Bacause I'd be interested !
By the way congrats on 8k =)
"Tomater" and "potater" are due to something called intrusive R. It's just a part of certain dialects and doesn't have negative connotations, but it's definitely nonstandard so it would probably be best to not use it, unless humorously for the cute or jokey feeling it gives off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linking_and_intrusive_R
you are rambling
Really good video. Thank you, Liron
Probably me, but I don't see the Stan Miller link. Thanks for great vids.
PS la Shanah tova
tater. southern, but fyi, "finite" is pronounced, " fye night" I loved your talk thru on this painting. the successes and foibles. thanx for sharing.
Awesome… thanks for sharing love your channel ❤️
The tomato – try to under paint it in yellow, then yellow mixed with a little red and build the red that way leaving orange around the end stalk where needed and adding a smidgen of blue on the yellow already there in the centre to make a little green.
😂 tomater and potater! That's a spot-on, southern American accent. I'm very familiar with that one. Nice onion too, by the way.
AND congratulations to 8K followers! You’re great!
I think you need the balance between tight and loose painting. I tend to work to tight so working on the loose part. Watercolour is fun and shouldn’t be held captive. Let it loose, don’t overwork it. Have fun, that’s my goal.
Have you ever watched Barry Toshio Shiraishi’s video of green grapes and apple? He doesn’t have many but they are exquisite. Layer after layer building up of a beautiful thing. There are no shortcuts.
