Amazing my second course by Julia and I've learned so much. She is so talented it is really generous that she is sharing her skills and how she sees water, thank you!
I learned so much thank you!
I really loved it! Soooo many details, soo beautiful and useful! The only part where I wish the process was not cut is when Julia paints the waves, as a fundamental step and I have the feeling in some parts there were tiny little details missing of how she did it. But overall I have loved it and I am looking forward to trying it over and over again!
Just a bit more indication on how wet the paper is supposed to be would have been welcome :) the rest is perfect. Thank you! I love the restult :)
Julia's explanations were very helpful for understanding how to paint the sea. I had the wrong paper (no 100% cotton), but I'm happy with the first result though. I'm curious how my paintings will look when I have bought 100% cotton paper. Thank you very much!
I really liked how Julia explained her painting - it was very useful for my own painting, I am very happy with it. Thank you very much.
Very clear instruction on the techniques and colour mixing. Really enjoyed painting along!
Wonderful course thank you so much!
Very kind and charming instructor, excellent explanations, easy to follow. I especially liked the preparatory exercises to understand the specific watercolor technique Julia Barminova is using.
Julia Barminova explains very well her technique , very good course, thank you
Very beautiful and helpful course, love it. Thank you Julia!
Julia Barminova is the best teacher and I love her style very much. Hope there will be much more courses from her, for example painting lanterns or buildings :-)
I like this course with a lot of details with the colours and the sketch. I didn't know that we can draw the reflections on the sea !
Clear instruction provided at a manageable pace.
Discount ends in
