Eu recomendo esse curso, porque a professora é uma excelente profissional e tem uma ótima didática. Além do mais, o conteúdo é bem apropriado para iniciantes que desejam conhecer ou até mesmo aprofundar-se nessa técnica que representa tão bem o Universo vegetal.

I really enjoyed this class. My background is in science and painting is a hobby of mine. This course is a great fit…where science meets art. I took your advice and painted the entire background black. It did make the painting better. Thank you. Roni

Teaching is an art unto itself and Julia is so good at it! This course was so well organized and it's nice to be able to go at one's own pace. Great to have all of the tips and resource lists. Highly recommended.

Der Kurs ist klar aufgebaut und einfach nachzuvollziehen. Mit der Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung habe ich eine Vorlage zur Hand, mit der sich viele weitere Projekte umsetzen lassen. Das ist Aquarellmalerei, wie ich sie mir immer gewünscht habe. Teilweise wirr ist leider die Übersetzung ins Deutsche.

Thank you, Julia. You reminded me of all practical steps to take to make a botanical painting. You are so clear, so precise, and you make the difficult things seem so easy! I followed your advice, and I am very pleased with the result. But I also can see various things I got wrong, and what I would do in future to try to produce a better painting.

In addition to being an exquisite artist, Julia is an excellent teacher. She is clear and precise in her explanations. The information she offers and the techniques she demonstrates, are easy to understand and follow. All these components combined, make Julia a special inspirational "botanical art" instructor.

It I really a good course. I like the clear way of her teaching. The project fits medium level and it lead to a new step on the way to work at botanical subjects. I am attracted by the black background as I saw original works in the Botanical Garden in Padova (Italy) and love it. Thanks for this opportunity Julia

Great course with some interesting tips in using watercolour with a limited colour palette and how to do those black backgrounds!

¡Maravilloso! Me ha encantado la manera sencilla y tan didáctica que tiene Julia de explicar el proceso y cómo muestra las diferentes etapas de construcción de la ilustración botánica... Cómo empezar, trazar y hacer el primer bosquejo, como revisar y luego aplicar las capas de acuarela con técnicas más generales e ir construyendo la ilustración despacio, hasta llegar al detalle, con pinturas menos diluidas. Me ha gustado mucho, además, que nos enseña a usar muy bien el líquido para enmascarar.

The course was clear, simple and easy to follow. Instructional support material is top notch for beginners to learn about this specialized field of art study. Highly recommend this course to anyone interested in this firm of art. It is a very good primer on the subject. Go for it....
