What I LOVE about Watercolor Painting | Liron Yanconsky’s Podcast – Episode 7

In this episode I talk about what I learned to absolutely love about watercolor painting.

I mainly love how the medium flows and mixes easily. I love the transparency, the speed in which you can finish a painting, and the work process of light to dark.

I also talk about how these insights can help you choose the right medium for you, based on the different characteristics of oils, acrylics and watercolor.

Today’s artist: Marek Yanai

Marek has some beautiful artwork that I recommend you check out HERE.

You can also check out his videos on YouTube. I really enjoyed this particular one.

What I’ve Been Up To | Liron Yanconsky’s Podcast – Episode 6

In this episode I talk about how I’m doing and the things that have been on my mind recently.

I originally planned on recording a more “well-structured” episode, but realized I wasn’t in the right mindset.

The contrary – I was in the mindset of talking freely and sharing how I’m doing. In these cases, I believe in allowing myself to express what I feel like in the moment. Sometimes you gotta power through, but sometimes the right thing IS the go with the flow (;

I hope you enjoy this one!

Control VS Freedom in Art | Liron Yanconsky’s Podcast – Episode 5

In this episode I talk about different approaches to creating. I believe there’s a scale ranging from complete freedom and looseness, all the way to completely controlled and deliberate creation.

There’s no right or wrong, only different outcomes and experiences. I recommend experimenting with these ideas.

Show Notes

1. Artist corner: Joseph Zbukvic.

This is one of my favorite watercolor artists. If you love loose impressionistic style in watercolor (or other media), definitely check out his work.

I’d also check out this exceptional video, showing a full painting process done by him.

2. Books mentioned – Paris Aquarelle and Rooftops of Paris by Fabrice Moireau.

3. Alvaro Castagnet – another fantastic watercolor artist with a style similar to Zbukvic (and perhaps a little looser at times).

Are People Born With Artistic Talent? | Liron Yanconsky’s Podcast – Episode 4

In this episode I talk about whether artistic talent is honed or inborn. This is actually a fascinating discussion I have no real answer to, but I can definitely share my experiences with.

Show Notes

Artist corner: Tupac Shakur.

I have always known and loved “Ghetto Gospel”, but that was pretty much it in terms of my knowledge of Tupac’s body of work. If you are like me I HIGHLY recommend you check out his other work.

A good place to start with is this album.

Book recommendation: The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. Seriously check it out, if you haven’t read it yet.
