This course was easier to follow than the sea and sails course. Clear, easy to understand instructions.
Absolutely enjoyed this course. Julia is a great teacher and loved how detailed her explanations are!
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
Absolutely love this method. Can't wait for the class tomorrow.
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.
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
Thank you, I really enjoyed learning how you paint water and boats!
My biggest discover was learning sea and water reflection.
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.
I really loved the lesson, have learned more from Julia Barminova. Thank you. I will practice more to improve.
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!
Love the course! Julia explain it very well.. I like how she mention what is wrong and what is right on watercolor techniques! I painted water before.. but this course really gave me another view! i want to try only one layer like Julia mention in the class! thank you..thank you!!
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.
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
Just a bit more indication on how wet the paper is supposed to be would have been welcome :) the rest is perfect. Thank you! I love the restult :)
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
Hi, I was happy with the content of the course, the rythm, the explanation, the english was very good,... Looking forward to take another course with you. Thanks
Thanks again for a great opportunity to learn your approach. Fluent english, a lot of tips and trics,.... watching you paint is very interesting! Thanks Julia, Tomas
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!
I loved it! I learned so much and her voice is very relaxing. I have always wanted to paint the sea and she makes it seem not so intimidating and realistic. Great class. Great teacher.
Julia Barminova explains very well her technique , very good course, thank you
Excellent course very well explained, my only regret is that subtitles in English àre not fully available for lesson 2 ànd I could not find a reference photo, other than that Julia is an excellent teacher and I learned a lot !
I really love Julia's watercolors, her sea is magic and she is a good instructor
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!
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 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!
Great course, very helpful and detailed! I really liked how Julia explained every single aspect of her technique, I learned a lot! Thank you!
I'm looking forward for julia's next english course..i definitely learn a lot from her
she explained very well her techniques, and I just love her work. I really like her workshop.
I learned so many things watching this course. I really appreciated your explanation of choosing the techniques you use to achieve believable water. That was extremely helpful. I also enjoyed hearing how you decide to simplify the photo as a watercolor focused on the water! Please do more. And your English is great! You don’t need to apologize!
The reveal of the ‘secret’ that colors matters and using one wash. Yes , i liked the course .
It was the first time that I have an WS online with Lectoroom and is was Excellent. Hope you make many more:
I loved the course, the explanations were clear and concise, video quality was very good. Thank you very much Julia for sharing your skills and knowledge.
Following Julia while painting is amazing…I struggled with having to follow instructions, mixing colors while I don’t have all the same hue and painting at the same time but I really enjoy the practice and hope there would be more English courses from her soon.
I was able to explore more of watercolour techniques for my personal practices.
Excellent course. Julia explained very clear. I look forward to more classes and marathon in english with her.
I can not see how to upload finished painting. Julia's English is good I got some interesting tips I hadn't seen before, I need to practice, thankyou
It was amazing. thanks a lot for offering this class. Julia is awesome.
Excellent. I want to go through it again because I wasn't able to paint live because of the tie difference.
I really like what you do, draw, paint and so on and your enthusiasm Thank you and see you soon @triliamn
excellent course with very good and comprehensible explanations
Thank you a lot for this amazing course. It was so interesting learning about your technique and the way you do waves. I really admire your work, I find it amazingly luminous and so expressive. I really appreciate it your explanations and sharing tips. I hope you'll do some others courses in English ! Greetings from France ! Marie D.
It was great and Julia was a great teacher. Your English is very good !
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.
Excellent course and explanation, clear and precise, very nice to follow! Julia is a wonderful teacher !
I love this course. I learned a lot and it was a lot of fun.
This lesson is very detailed, it's exactly what i was looking for . Thank you
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.
Thank you Julia Barminova and Lectoroom! Great course. I have not had much experience painting the sea. I found most helpful the description in the beginning showing the right amount of wetness the paper should have for the waves. I also found her steps extremely helpful...showing the waves first...then reflections...the details and then on to the less detailed boats etc. Really fantastic. I would have loved her saying what colours she was mixing more since I was looking down a lot and didn't see what she had picked. But I watched the recording and paused so it was fine. Again. Great lesson. Thank you!!!
Amazing! Great tips that make a huge difference. Thank you for sharing your secrets)
Really like learning Julia's technique, would have love to be able to see or download the reference photo
Very clear instruction on the techniques and colour mixing. Really enjoyed painting along!
I enjoyed very much to see Julia do dry on wet to create the sea, very helpful.
I really like the course and also teacher Julia! She is a real sea artist and traveler !
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!
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.
Very beautiful and helpful course, love it. Thank you Julia!
I really enjoyed it. Very well explained. I had a surprising result!
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 !
