About
Using the example of hydrangea, one of the most interesting plants in terms of complex color transitions and compositional solutions, we will go through the features of watercolor technique in painting flowers, building a form, the basics of academic drawing, elements of botanical illustration, and also talk about proportions and aerial perspective.
This workshop is for you:
If you want to learn how to render flowers realistically and master different watercolor techniques, from botanical painting to sketching.
What will the workshop include?
- Learning the basics of botanical painting.
- Contrasting the techniques of classical botanical painting with one-layer painting.
- Applying layering techniques to get a more realistic image in the center of the composition.
- Alla prima watercolor technique. Transitions, nuances, shadows, veins, details: everything is applied at once in about two minutes, while the sheet gets dry. This technique teaches you a lot: to see, to calculate in advance and to avoid mistakes during the painting process.
- Basics of painting wet-on-wet.
- Coloring and color matching for painting light and shadow.
- Composition and aerial perspective.
- Arranging objects on a sheet, distancing objects and bringing them closer.

I really like the course and also teacher Julia! She is a real sea artist and traveler !
Loved it :) спасибо болшое!
Following Julia while painting is amazing…I struggled with having to follow instructions, mixing colors while I don’t have all the same hue and painting at the same time but I really enjoy the practice and hope there would be more English courses from her soon.
very good!
I am absolutely in love with Julia's way of painting,, excellent lesson incredibly informative ad extremely enjoyable and very easy to follow. Hope to become as good as she is with my boats and water! There are many courses out there and I have followed many, but noone has been so helpful and useful both for technique and instructions provided.
Really like learning Julia's technique, would have love to be able to see or download the reference photo
This course was easier to follow than the sea and sails course. Clear, easy to understand instructions.
I learned so many things watching this course. I really appreciated your explanation of choosing the techniques you use to achieve believable water. That was extremely helpful. I also enjoyed hearing how you decide to simplify the photo as a watercolor focused on the water! Please do more. And your English is great! You don’t need to apologize!
