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/

Hi there! Today’s podcast episode is a personal / blog update about my upcoming visit to the USA, and some additional updates.

Visiting the USA

I will be visiting for the entirety of August (2nd – 29th). I’m visiting family in Cleveland, Ohio.

I’m really looking forward to this time. It will give me an opportunity to recharge and reset, and perhaps refresh my vision for the future.

In addition, I’m pretty happy to visit my family! (: We may also visit Canada.

YouTube Channel VS Painting

This is something that’s been on my mind for a while now.

I feel like I’m putting A LOT of work into the YouTube channel, and not enough time into painting and making art.

I think I need to rebalance this. I’m unsure if this means going down to 2 vids a week, or less, but it’s something in that range.

I’m actually considering taking 2 weeks of a complete break from YouTube for a hard reset, but we’ll see.

I don’t want to give up the possible upside / potential, but I do want to make sure I don’t burn myself out.

Results VS Expectations

This is something that pops from time to time. I sometimes feel like my progress isn’t “fast enough”, or that I’m not getting better as fast as I can.

This is of course a little ridiculous. I am working as hard as I can, and I am doing my best. I need to re-sharpen my gratitude and acceptance skills! (:

IGTV

Finally, just wanted to mention this awesome platform.

Instagram created an additional app called IGTV. It’s like YouTube, or a TV, only made for mobile. The videos are vertical, and it’s just fun to use.

I’m posting A LOT there (almost every day), so make sure to check it out. You can get there by visiting my Instagram page, and clicking where it says IGTV.

Artist Corner – Tim Wilmot

Finally, today I mentioned Tim Wilmot. He is an incredible watercolor painter from the UK.

He has – what I think are – some of the best YouTube tutorials out there. Be sure to check out his work:
