Frustration Free Watercolor course 🎨 - bit.ly/4bMoNS2
In this watercolor painting demo, I explore how to create powerful mood and atmosphere using a simple but often overlooked light trick. Instead of painting objects based on what we think they look like, we shift our focus to how light actually affects color - turning greens into subtle grays, reds, and browns where light pours through the scene.
This approach to watercolor helps simplify decision making while dramatically improving realism and emotional impact. If you want to elevate your watercolor techniques, master washes, and better understand light and shadow in painting, this lesson offers a practical and eye-opening perspective.
Chapters:
00:00 - Intro
00:35 - Painting the moody wash
11:54 - Darkening the wash
20:52 - Willing the cars into existence
38:47 - What we got

My name is Liron, and I’m an artist, author and creator.
My biggest passion is painting & sharing my artistic journey with others. For this reason, over the past decade or so, I have amassed a significant following of close to 500K people on the different media channels, such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and my own mailing lists.
I have sold hundreds of paintings, taught thousands of students and have been published in multiple magazines.
It is safe to say watercolor chose me, and not the other way around. My painting philosophy is quite simple. Most of the time I follow my intuition.
