My biggest discover was learning sea and water reflection.
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 !
I really loved the lesson, have learned more from Julia Barminova. Thank you. I will practice more to improve.
Sea an Sails workshop by @juliabarminova was amazing. She is one of the best artists for painting water, ofcourse all her other paintings are also equally exceptional. Always wanted to learn from her. Thank you for conducting the workshop in English.Really enjoyed learning from her and painting with her during the workshop. Wish to paint with her in person someday. A big thank you to @lectoroom.eng for creating this efficient platform. Very nicely organised. Thanks a lot for the whole team
Great course with a lovely teacher. Julia explained all the steps perfectly. I wish the course was not sped up in parts but that may have made it too long. Thank you very much Julia!
