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.
Excellent. I want to go through it again because I wasn't able to paint live because of the tie difference.
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!
It was wonderful work shop.. I was waiting for Julia’s English speaking workshop and was happy to attend.. I tried once painting after the workshop and hope I will improve in painting waves .. thank you
Julia explained everything really nice and I had some mind-blown moments when I thought "oh this explains a lot, why I don't like some of my paintings" because I didn't thought much about contrasts of colors before. But now I will :) It was a bit difficult to read the english subtitles and watch Julia painting simultaneously, but it worked with stopping the videos and going back.
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.
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
Thank you, I really enjoyed learning how you paint water and boats!
I really loved the lesson, have learned more from Julia Barminova. Thank you. I will practice more to improve.
