Hi there, Liron here! And in today's vid I want to show you how I simplify the background.

Being able to do this involves a variety of skills - visual language, perception, sensitivity to colors, values etc...

But it can be learned! The more you paint, the more of a visual language you develop. Practice, practice practice!

I hope you enjoy this one!
