Hi there, Liron here!
In today’s vid we’ll learn how to paint realistic, DETAILED watercolors.

Some key takeaways:
You CAN do this! Watercolor realism is more about hard work than it is skill or experience.
Work in small, manageable shapes.
Allow yourself to work slowly, and don’t feel like you have to finish the painting in one sitting. Take as much time as you need! Feel free to work on a painting for a couple of weeks even.
