Reviews
It is great how with technology people from V around the world can learn such techniques and skills that may not be available especially during this time when there is no travel. Julia has so much to offer. Talent beyond words.
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!
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.
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 love this course. I learned a lot and it was a lot of fun.
Used materials, colour theory, creating textures, usefull exercises to master it all..... It was a very complete introduction. To see all this applied to a exemple painting was very helpfull as well. My secound course with Julia and looking forward to the next one. Thanks, Tomas
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
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.
I really like what you do, draw, paint and so on and your enthusiasm Thank you and see you soon @triliamn
