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.

Thank you, I really enjoyed learning how you paint water and boats!
It was my First experience with lecto room, was so happy with my experience. Special thanks for sorting me out of finding the course and the recording. Thank you so much
I was able to explore more of watercolour techniques for my personal practices.
I'm looking forward for julia's next english course..i definitely learn a lot from her
This course was easier to follow than the sea and sails course. Clear, easy to understand instructions.
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!
Absolutely love this method. Can't wait for the class tomorrow.
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.
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!
Great course, very helpful and detailed! I really liked how Julia explained every single aspect of her technique, I learned a lot! Thank you!
