Hi there, Liron here! 🙌
In today’s video I’ll show you an awesome trick for letting go and painting freely and accurately, and getting a good RESULT.
We’ll do this by choosing a specific focal point from a larger scene, and then painting IT first, and it’s background / environment SECOND.
The focal point truly becomes the KING or QUEEN of the painting that way.
