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 :)

Nice work.

Wow, that looks great. Really impressive how you kept the colors so contained in each object.

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.

Love the reflections in the water, and the sky wash looks really interesting!

I'm not so happy with the background, it's too dark. But I am making Progress.

I was fascinated how the yellow and orange from the rising sun did get reflekted from the housewall. Some things in the Painting did ture out well. And Iam happy with it. I definitely dont like the tree bevor the houses. It looks really flat. Probably I should had left more gapses in the dark green parts. Thanks a lot for this great course.

This is my first watercolor after going through a bit of the material in this course. I'm not usually one for painting landscapes and cityscapes but because it's how Liron demonstrated most of his techniques so far, I thought I'd give it a go. Things I'm surprised worked pretty well: - The silhouette of the tree on the left and the shrubbery on the right. Done with wet-on-wet techniques and I almost always mess up on wet-on-wet. - I tried to do the cars the way I saw Liron do it in his demos and, while they're not the most technically-accurate cars, I'm glad the figures read as cars. - The building is not so technically-accurate either but it "reads". For a quick job (this was, overall, at most 2h, including drying), I'm pretty satisfied. Things that didn't work so well: - I didn't catch the dusky feeling of my reference very well. Part of that is because those greenish streaks at the left half receding into the vanishing point are supposed to be streetlights but I had to "oil paint" them in because I forgot to consider them in my initial wash. - Part of the feel is also due to my digitalization process (PhotoScan from my phone). It washed out the colors more than they already are. Maybe I'll try with just the camera app next.
