Hi there, Liron here! Today I want to talk to you about communicating authentically.

Communicating Authentically as a Content Creator

I’ve been creating content for several years now, and this is something I’ve been thinking about a lot.

The ability to communicate who you are fully is fascinating. Some have it more naturally than others. But it almost always comes down to practice.

Also, a lot of it has to do with the medium at hand. Some communicate better over video, some by writing, and others by talking (like this podcast!).

Communicating Authentically and FULLY

Something I’ve been thinking about for a while is WHAT you communicate, and how much of it you do.

You may notice I share A LOT of artistic stuff, but much fewer personal stuff. I don’t show my family or friends a lot. I want our communication to be mainly about you and me, as well as art and creativity.

Showing You More

Lately I’m on a kick of sharing more and more about myself.

I talked recently about loving manga and anime, as well as being a long time fan of The Legend of Zelda games series.

I want to share as much as I want, and feel the freedom to do so.

Hopefully I’ll be able to continue sharing, and that you enjoy the ride!

Artist Corner

Today I featured Greg Allen – an Australian master of loose impressionistic watercolor painting.

In addition to that, he can also paint quite realistically, even portraits! This is a quality I really admire,

I can even draw a connection to today’s episode. Here are two videos of Greg in action. One is quite old (2009), and the other is newer (2015). Notice which one is more authentic, and presents MORE of his personality and uniqueness.

Video one: A World of Watercolor
Video two: Greg Allen’s Watercolor Techniques

I highly recommend you check out some of his artwork at the bottom of this page: http://twentymelbournepainterssociety.com.au/home/members/greg-allen/

Authentic Visual Creation – Painting YOUR WAY | Liron Yanconsky’s Podcast – Episode 41

Hi there, Liron here! And today we’ll talk about authentic visual and artistic creation!

Authentic Creation

This is an idea I’ve been thinking about for a long time now.

Authentic creation, in the visual / painting context, refers to painting / representing things the way YOU truly see them.

It means really observing what you are painting, and interpreting it your way.

Second-Hand Visual Representation

This refers to gimmicks. Painting people the way Alvaro Castagnet does, for example.

Now – if this really is your authentic visual interpretation – go for it! My point here is to encourage you to listen to your own artistic voice.

There’s a reason why the best of the best artists tend to have very unique styles.

This is Something I am Working On

It’s important for me to give you the right context for this episode. This is something I’m still dealing with.

I’ll sometimes notice myself going into “auto-pilot” mode, but not in a positive way. I’ll see a tree, and instead of painting it AS I SEE IT, I’ll paint it the way I know a tree is, or the way I saw someone else paint it.

So if you’re dealing with this – we’re on the same boat!

Conclusion

This is what I wanted to discuss today. I’m curious to hear your thoughts and experiences with this. Is this something you think about / deal with too?

Let me know in a comment below / on YouTube / Instagram messages!

Today we’re looking at Ian Ramsay!

He is a very impressive painter, with a style I love – impressionistic realism, with lots of colors and atmosphere.
