I have now completed both courses. I will probably revisit them many times as they are quite helpful. This is from a photo I took at a park not far from my home. I made the monochrome version after a color version did not work the way I wanted. Using monochrome helped greatly at finding the correct values. After I made the monochrome version, I painted another color version and it turned out much better. The monochrome version is 5x7 inches and the final color version is 9x12 inches. I ended up liking both of them well enough to sign them. Thank you Liron for the classes, they are a good value and full of helpful information and tips.

Thank you for the course, I feel like this was an incredible ratio of value for money. I had a thousand questions going in and I feel like you answered all of them, even if I'm still sorting the methods and techniques in my head. Three weeks into watercolor I feel way more confident in the medium than ever before, and there's still the Watercolor Realism course ahead... I did a car from Pexels as an assignment, since you do so many of them :)

This one was really helpful, simplification is such an interesting aspect!

Thank you for this course. It is wonderfully helpful. This 9" x 12" was the most difficult thing I have tried to paint yet. I try to paint things that are slightly beyond my current skill level to get better. I used each technique you taught for this one. The reference photo was a partly foggy day at my local harbor. The fog was only in the trees. Fascinating to see in person. There are things that worked and some not so much but I improve each time. Your course helped that improvement process a great deal.

1- Focal Points (What are the main focal points, what is supporting them?) 2- Large Shapes of the same Value (Which elements share the same value? Simplify them into one shape) 3- Depth ( Foreground, middle, background)

This was definitely the first watercolor exercise I could do with some confidence, really feel like the process is starting to click or maybe not

Really interesting lesson, overworked it a bit but slowly matching the values was a lot of fun!
