Are you loving the winter greenery but wish you could have a step by step process?

I tried thus. Never been happy with mine before but this helped me more than any other tutorial. Thank you so much. No mine did not look like yours but I will keep painting!!! You are awesome!!!!!!!!!
Yes keep practicing my friend!
I just found you and I am eating up your videos and knowledge! Newbie to watercolor and this one ranks in my top 5 of how it worked out for me. I think it was the addition of the red building. So awesome! My husband came home yesterday and saw a few of my tutorials and was really impressed by the lake one with black trees on one bank (close) and smaller ones on the other bank.
Your tutorials move at a perfect clip for me. I’m not painting them that fast, but you give just the right amount of information to get me to paint for inferences without belaboring details. Which is funny because most beginner videos don’t provide enough information for my success. You hit my sweet spot. Also, I have to shout out my love for your subject matter. As a Utah girl, I want to paint my mountains, my trees, my barns, etc. Thank you for giving me the tools. I’ve sent links to my daughter who is also a watercolor hobbyist so you now have 2 new groupies.
How do you get your colors so vibrant? Is it the paint quality? I’m just working out of student grade paints but I’m often befuddled by the lack of green variance that I can achieve with vibrancy.
I’m a fan girl.
Thank you for your kind words, I'm so glad my tutorials are helpful to you. I use meedan watercolor paints - I'm not sure what to say about vibrancy though - perhaps you just need more pigment and less water?
I really like how you paint your evergreen trees. I also love your barn!!
Thanks Deb!
I just started exploring water colors three days in.
Thank you for simple but awesome lessons and examples!
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy this fun medium
Lovely winter landscape! I feel like I could step right into it, it’s so atmospheric. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.😊
Thank you so much!
Thank you Julia , I have subscribed on Skillshare and i will check your videos. Beautiful work
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for such a great tutorial. I am learning a lot from your methods. I really appreciate watching your paintings evolve as you go along. I live in the woods of Maine and am surrounded by evergreen trees. The trees you are painting look like fir trees. It is a small detail but pine trees look quite different from fir trees such as spruce and balsalm. Thank you again for the gift of teaching.
..
Hello fellow forest dweller! I universally call evergreens pine trees because most people refer to them as such/it works with the algorithm ;)
So glad I found you! Another beautiful painting!
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you Julia. I hope I’ll learn a lot from you. You’re easy to learn from. Love you colors.
I'm glad you think so!
They are called "Blue Spruce" my favorite Christmas trees ❤
Ah yes sounds familiar
This is absolutely lovey, thank you for sharing your talent with us!

Blue Spruce has a blueish tint green. Short, strong, sharp needles
Yes I can picture them :)
Very nice!!
Thanks!
Really nice 👍
Thanks!
I am new to your channel and loving it!!! I got paints and some brushes. I will get it all together and paint along! Very soon!!
Welcome!!
Спасибо за урок!
Very nice
:)
Molto bello
Thank you!
Nice🙂
Thanks for the visit
That is a true winter scene... the snow round the house could do with improving but otherwise a very pleasant painting 😊😍
Improve it in your own painting!
@@JuliaLisArt 😂😂😂😂
Beautiful! What kind of pencil did you use when drawing in the barn?
A regular pencil. It's just stained black wood but its a plain old pencil.
Wow, those pine trees are gorgeous! I will try this. I've subscribed, and look forward to watching your other tutorials!
Thanks Diane!
I love it! Do you use cobalt or ultramarine to get this blue? Thank you.
Not sure - I don't keep the names of the colors
Not sure if there is somewhere that you mention the paints you use and what colours? The blueish looks like a Payne’s gray? Nice piece!
No I don't do that on this channel - I don't want people to think they need the specific colors I use to create a beautiful painting. A green is a green!
So happy to find you on CZcams. Very calming Christmas scene.
Did you have your baby yet? Thanks for sharing!
Yes I did :)
Do you stretch your paper first? If so, how? I used to use the gummed tape on board method, but lately, I've just been taping it to a board when I work. The buckling bothers me. I end up ironing it on the backside with a warm iron.
No I don't stretch :) 100% cotton paper seems to flatten out completely after it has completely dried (at least it does for me)
What kind of blue are you using? On my screen it looks sort of gray-periwinkle. Thank you!
I don't know the name, sorry. I usually just blend some different blues with black. The precise color doesn't matter anyway - make it uniquely yours!
Probably just me, but wondering exactly what the colors are that you are using? Looks like Payne's Gray, but can't make out the others?
I don't know the names of the colors - I threw out the name card!
What size paper are you using and what type?
I think I'm using 5x9 or similar - size doesn't matter though because you can scale it up or down.
Beautiful. Just a suggestion, put your pallet on the right side so you don’t keep crossing over to the left in front of our eyes. 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for the suggestion but its easier for me to keep it on the left :)
That doesn't bother me at all! Of course, I am left handed, so it looked absolutely normal!
Yes!
I feel you. But I make color messes crossing over like this dropping water color spots. Your work inspires me. Keep painting.
@@JuliaLisArt
Pq
Is there a place where you list the items you use in these demonstrations? Paint color names, paper size, paint brushes, etc., would all be helpful to know. Thanks.
In the description :)
What brush did you use to outline trees?
My supplies are linked in the description :)
@@JuliaLisArt ok, I’m gonna guess it’s round 1 brush.
Very good , I love your trees. Are you kin to Bob Ross🤙🏻🙌🏻🤗 I’ll pay for some classes.
Sheila, I have a fantastic workshop available for purchase: www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1349050842/winter-watercolor-greenery-workshop-step?click_key=73fa506a56924b238030cb0fac0aa967f1988ba6%3A1349050842&click_sum=91f49041&ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1
Julia, l am 66 and just started painting in January. I painted this snowy barn scene. Can l make my Christmas cards from my painting? Do l need permission? Doing photo copies of mine on yardstick if l do. Please let me know? Joanie l love your tutorials! Wish l could afford to subscribe!
Subscribing to my channel is free - just hit the button :)
Can you PLEASE tell us the exact colors you’re using ??
No I don't do that on this channel. A blue is a blue! (I don't even have the name card - threw it out).
@@JuliaLisArt a blue isn’t a blue but thanks anyway
Sure it is! You're only limiting yourself otherwise@@debbieroso8749
In the video it looks like you are turning it into muddy look when you try blending.
I'm glad it didn't turn out like mud in the end
You don't get paid from CZcams? From ads and whatnot? Just curious since you said you haven't been getting paid for your work.
I only started earning ad revenue in 2021, but it was negligible...a dollar or two a day. It's picked up a bit but definitely not enough to live off of.
Your ennui really shone through here. Sorry you're not doing great.
I hope you address whatever is troubling you and compels you to hate on people you don't know on the internet :)
@@JuliaLisArt I'm sorry...I was being sincere. You seemed down, that's all...I wasn't hating on you.
@@shsummers Perhaps I misread your original comment. Nobody is super happy 100% of the time. I think when I filmed this, I was sick with a cold that lasted for 2 months.
@@JuliaLisArt Hi - sorry to hear you've been sick...my wife had the same thing, and it really hung on and on. Hope you feel better, and I wish a happy 2023 to us all
