Watercolor painting tutorial: learn how to use color temperature and color arrangement to create brighter, more vibrant paintings instead of dull, muddy ones.
In today's watercolor painting tutorial I'll share with you one technique / approach that immediately LIGHTS UP your paintings.
If you're struggling with paintings that feel dim, muted and too gray - try this watercolor technique today to fix this.
It's all about how you arrange your colors and temperatures (and perhaps values, but that's more optional for this specific lesson).
Enjoy 😊🙏

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.
