About
How many times have you got your breath taken by the beauty of sea waves? And how many times you wanted to paint sails, light and colors of the surface? All these sailing ropes, fishing tackle. You can almost hear cries on seagulls by now, right?
But how many times have you tried to acquire just the right technique to get the results you wanted? That is exactly the answer that you will find here!
Julia Barminova is a watercolor artist that visited more than 50 different port cities over the world looking for new seascapes and inspiration. And on April 11th she will start broadcasting her first online workshop in English. How to get the best image of water, the spirit of port and all the nuances of watercolor technique will be the main topics of this online class.
The most important part is that you will learn to paint water effectively not only in studio but also outside in your travels and on pleinairs.

This lesson is very detailed, it's exactly what i was looking for . Thank you
Amazing! Great tips that make a huge difference. Thank you for sharing your secrets)
Amazing my second course by Julia and I've learned so much. She is so talented it is really generous that she is sharing her skills and how she sees water, thank you!
Excellent course, as usual Julia is the best teacher ever! Not so easy as it took me a lot of time to practice what she said but learnt so much and had just so much fun!
I'm looking forward for julia's next english course..i definitely learn a lot from her
The course was very good and very intense. I did not know we had to work simultaneously with Julia so I got behind from the start and did not finish in time to upload for review. However I had some very nice hours afterwards following the course on replay and painting the hydrangeas. I love the way it is filmed so that you can follow the actual painting process live - that is very informative and there are lots of big discoveries in watching how Julia works. Great course.
The reveal of the ‘secret’ that colors matters and using one wash. Yes , i liked the course .
