Hi there, Liron here!
In today’s vid I’ll share with you a quick exercise for breaking free and enjoying watercolor.

This includes drawing something with large & clear shapes, and then focusing on filling in those shapes with whatever you choose!
The idea here is to put something on paper, an initial draft if you will, and THEN optionally making improvements.

I find that this is much better than constantly second-guessing yourself, and not being able to paint at all, or painting in a very rigid and stifled manner, trying to paint each and every small detail.

I hope you enjoy this one 😊🙏🏼
