Hi there, Liron here! And today I’ll share with you a fascinating process in my opinion.

Here you get to see me work my way through the rust of not painting frequently / consistently for a while (due to our move).
I make some great choices in this painting, and then some really bad ones.

I want you to perhaps use this video for 2 purposes:
1. Learn to love and appreciate A PART OF every painting you create. There’s always something cool to like in my opinion.
2. Avoid the mistake of bad color choices & work process.

A couple of the main mistakes I made here:
- Lacking PATIENCE, and having some ARROGANCE - not allowing the painting to develop naturally at the correct timing
- Choosing colors that kill the harmony (which I then corrected in the next section I worked on - when I had more patience and less arrogance).

One more interesting tidbit is the values.
Notice how they are actually quite on point (not perfect, but definitely good enough FOR ME).
And despite that - the other mistakes still really show.

Goes to show values definitely aren't everything 😉

I hope you find this useful!
