Guys, I'm running out of painting inspiration lately so please comment some things you'd like to see painted in the coming weeks!

[@ambikaupadhya431]

Easy way of presenting - different types of flowers with leaves(lotus, sunflower, Jasmin, lavender..) - small hut / house - different fruits ( berries 🍒🍓🍑🍊) - different backgrounds in watercolor - water, sea wave, river scenery Suggestion you would consider By the by - you are great watercolor painting teacher I would like to follow and admire🌹

[@cephid1]

Maybe the same scene through the seasons, or staying with winter, maybe skaters on a frozen pond

[@consueloyoung4484]

I like the idea of going through the seasonal changes, I am beginning to shiver, lol, since I live 30 miles from the beach in N Ca. snowy paintings make me cold.😜

[@blockssonicwafers]

My porch ?

[@ericklassen742]

How about a winter cabin in the snow by the lakeside. Add some golden light in the windows and smoke from the chimney. Footpath?

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

Everytime you reach for the paint, I held my breath thinking your sweater was going to hit the painting 😬 ❤

[@JuliaLisArt]

:)

[@ericklassen742]

Good job, as usual, Julia! The horses are very cool. The first one was one of those happy accidents that Bob Ross used to talk about. Koodos!

[@JuliaLisArt]

I've never actually watched a bob ross tutorial! But yes, lots of happy accidents :)

[@jillhumphreys632]

I’d love to see more simple landscapes with figures in them. Or just how to add figures to a landscape.

[@JuliaLisArt]

Ooo not my forte but I'm definitely willing to give it a shot!

[@judyroberts7103]

You inspired me to paint this with the horses. As my daughter is having a lot of dental surgery and I will make her a card

[@JuliaLisArt]

Such a nice little gift!

[@BonVoyageKitty]

Lovely work! I'd like to see some city scapes... domed buildings, cars, traffic lights, and crowds of people.🙂

[@JuliaLisArt]

Oo yikes can't promise this as I'm more nature themed. Perhaps in the future

[@dreamalamb4259]

Fantastic painting. I thought, ohhhh, a church at the end of the lane, or a woman in red. My mind had fun 😀❤

[@JuliaLisArt]

Both great ideas!!

[@consueloyoung4484]

I love this painting, so so cold!!!. I live 30 miles from the beach in N Ca. The ideas your followers suggested sound wonderful. Seasonal changes would be great, but whatever you paint, I’m there!!. ❤

[@JuliaLisArt]

Awesome thanks for your comment as always :)

[@patlatour2465]

Thank you I’ve never done a monochrome painting it was lots of fun I added two tents and a fire pit at the front as my horses looked deformed lol. ❤😊

[@JuliaLisArt]

LOL! I love covering up mistakes with other things - I bet yours looks fabulous and cozy

[@lindamair4179]

I did mine without the people…my people needs more work…right now I am using your teaching for plain landscape….love your work it’s great!

[@JuliaLisArt]

Wonderful!

[@cassv350]

I did this, and its my 3rd water color. It's incredible! You made it so much easier. Thank you. I'm now a follower. ❤😂

[@JuliaLisArt]

Wonderful! Welcome aboard :)

[@annieb8955]

This is so peaceful and beautiful, I think I'll try it tomorrow

[@JuliaLisArt]

Make sure to add footprints!

[@maryserfass3230]

Love, love , love this. I will add a few foot prints behind people/ horse in snow but can't wait to add this to my new sketch book

[@JuliaLisArt]

What a great idea! I can't believe I didn't do that myself

[@barbcairns2408]

I like this very much and am going to try this!! Thanks!!🌹

[@JuliaLisArt]

Wonderful!

[@stephaniecrochet9144]

J ai pris plaisir à refaire votre tuto 🧑‍🎨👌

[@michelleramsey4302]

This was magical....wowwww

[@JuliaLisArt]

Wow thanks!

[@rickolmsted1156]

Love this painting and it is inspiring me to paint something like this, today :) and I want to see more of these.

[@JuliaLisArt]

Wonderful!

[@joannesarlo518]

I found this video to be extremely helpful and very easy to follow. I've been doing watercolor for a while but, always have trouble with doing a background wash, without it going all over the place! Thank you for this very informative tutorial.

[@JuliaLisArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debmorton6232]

I love this painting, I got so many compliments on it. going to make it my Christmas card next year!

[@JuliaLisArt]

Wonderful!

[@elainenelson1829]

Absolutely stunning

[@JuliaLisArt]

:)

[@deannamunro8148]

I DID enjoy this! love seing how the paining changes from the basic beginnings to the end result! Always a treat! and learning soooo much from your videos!

[@JuliaLisArt]

Adding those final details really makes a difference, doesn't it?

[@deannamunro8148]

@@JuliaLisArt It really does! It makes it come alive....

[@roxannerosecrans4441]

I absolutely love your winter scenes! Still have a lot of winter where I live. Definitely going to try this one today! Thank you for your creativity 🥰

[@JuliaLisArt]

Have fun Rox!

[@elizabetheddy1073]

Absolutely beautiful!😀❤️ I just want to thank you for inspiring so many of us! I could sit and watch you paint for hours and hours! Thank you so much for all that you do, I absolutely love your channel!😊❤️👍🏼🖌️

[@JuliaLisArt]

You are so welcome and thank YOU for watching and commenting. Without all you lovely viewers, there would be no watercolor channel :)

[@75Butterflyangel]

Stunning!!

[@JuliaLisArt]

Thank you! 😊

[@jefffawver888]

Beautiful

[@JuliaLisArt]

Thank you!

[@user-bk8qn9rh5k]

Love this painting & really appreciate all of your tutorials. ❤. I would love to see tutorials with beautiful layers of mountains with a colorful sky, landscapes with an interesting home on them, park scenes for any & all seasons. Thank you!

[@JuliaLisArt]

Great suggestion! I did just paint a mountain scene that will be released in the coming weeks.

[@mizzprettyhuston]

I'm always amazed at how green and black watercolor just bloom ❤ Gorgeous painting can't wait to try it. Happy holidays!

[@JuliaLisArt]

Thank you!

[@mizzprettyhuston]

@@JuliaLisArt you're welcome 😊

[@Toni-qg9ps]

Thank you. I did some like that style and it was beutiful

[@JuliaLisArt]

Great job!

[@joanmoser6890]

Great instructions with the details! I paused several times and now redoing it from the start. The hard part was getting the blend on the background trees. Maybe I didn’t add a enough water to my paper . Thanks for your great video! Joan

[@JuliaLisArt]

It helps to tilt your paper upside down! Also I've seen people using a mist bottle to keep moisture

[@manondesrochers5729]

You are amazing. I love it

[@JuliaLisArt]

You're too kind Manon!

[@wrenbayley]

First time viewer. I love your style and easy to follow explanations. Looking forward to watching more.

[@JuliaLisArt]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching Wren!

[@sueallen952]

Fircones, shells, beach scenes but in winter, bridges with water running underneath

[@JuliaLisArt]

Great ideas

[@dawnbetrus]

Love your lessons. Thank you❤

[@JuliaLisArt]

Glad you like them!

[@melaniebaynes2730]

I love this, thank you. I bought some Derwent Graphitint watercolour paints, and Derwent Pastel watercolours, a while ago, but haven't really done anything with them. I keep thinking that the Graphitint set would really lend itself to mountainscapes, but would love to see a tutorial on just how to build that up? 🙏💖

[@JuliaLisArt]

I'm not familiar with that watercolor paint brand/type. But a mountainscape tutorial is coming next week ;)

[@glenda7921]

Your videos are so helpful Julia. I think it would be really nice to start with a shot of the finished painting as you introduce the video, cement in our minds where we are going. I forget after only seeing the thumbnail before I clicked on the video. Just a suggestion and thank you for considering.

[@JuliaLisArt]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@brendamerrill1692]

Beautiful ❤

[@JuliaLisArt]

Thank you! 😊

[@nightlily3855]

Nice! The one thing that needs to be there and is missing are tracks in the snow, can not walk on snow without leaving tracks

[@JuliaLisArt]

Many have pointed this out, I totally forgot to add them

[@louisesabourin9572]

Love it ❤ , would like to try , it seams kind of easy 😏 , but it is probably not 😒 .

[@norinemueller4588]

just beautiful now if only I could draw lol

[@JuliaLisArt]

I can't draw well either! Painting is so different

[@fscolza]

i so love this. what my comment is- is really a request for all beginner tutorials…we dont see your pallets & amount of water or pigment which is correct for each part of the picture. As a real beginner i find this is where i know i have to learn to control the water myself, but knowing how much pigment each artist is picking up on their brush would lend so much to our education! my observation and wish, anyway🤷🏻‍♀️ its all a learning experience, its individual i understand. and i thank you for sharing. i am so excited to try this!

[@JuliaLisArt]

Oh I so wish I could include the pallet because I do understand how helpful that can be! But I don't have a wide angle camera so the actual painting would be super zoomed out!

[@Coasterdude02149]

I love this! It got chilly here in Florida so I think I'm gonna work on this today! Not sure what to suggest for new tutorial idea...have a look round Pinterest? Lately I've been looking an awful lot at African sunsets-dunno if that helps?

[@JuliaLisArt]

Sunsets are so beautiful and I will definitely paint more for the summer but I'm trying my best to stick to the season :)

[@MMGARC]

I love your attention to detail, Julia. It inspires me because I'm the same way and I'm learning more and more from you. I really love your winter scenes - they look very real and pictureque. I've always love black and white too. How long have you been painting? Your artwork is beautiful!

[@JuliaLisArt]

Im glad you enjoy the tutorials! Ive been painting for years

[@adriannabcustomfurniture]

I LOVE how you made him look like he was on a horse by accident 😂 we both said it at the same time lol another beautiful painting.

[@JuliaLisArt]

Haha, happy mistakes!

[@cordulapieper3858]

It's wonderful. I might have painted the hoof prints of the horses. Which paper didi you use in the video?

[@JuliaLisArt]

100% cotton paper by arches I believe

[@zb2345able]

Can you blow dry or just let dry naturally? Love your work!❤

[@JuliaLisArt]

I always blow dry, I just find with blow drying, the paper curls more so you have to flatten with a book after.

[@inesmeneses3004]

Por favor mas montañas con nieve, y mas detalladas. Las sombras,, con casas , ríos ,,

[@Blandde_Arts]

Nice tutorial 🌹🎀🌿👍🏻"*.......

[@JuliaLisArt]

Thanks!

[@mariecielski219]

Could you please say what size paper and also type of paper. Ty..love your tutorials

[@JuliaLisArt]

100% cotton paper, approx 2x3

[@blockssonicwafers]

I am having trouble painting branches and getting them thin enough. May I ask what brush you are using for the thinner branches ?

[@blockssonicwafers]

PS, I'm new to watercolors, well, painting period. Your tutorials are so helpful with ideas, tips, tricks, the gamut. I really appreciate your work. My Mother was artist as is my older sister. I just never thought I had what takes, still not sure. lol

[@JuliaLisArt]

I love my 0000 brush for fine details - it's linked in the description :)

[@joburrow9863]

Is the horse going to have hoof prints?

[@JuliaLisArt]

It should, but mine floats!

[@paulanelson4759]

I don’t have good luck with bleeding my paint. Is your paper smooth or rough

[@JuliaLisArt]

Its 100% cotton paper

[@TAURUSBULL-fl8xd]

Used Paine grey?

[@JuliaLisArt]

I threw the name card out

[@galtgallery6720]

Hot Air Balloons, Whimsical animals

[@JuliaLisArt]

A whimsical flamingo may be coming your way soon :)

[@dreamalamb4259]

What so you do with all these lovely little paintings? 😊

[@JuliaLisArt]

They are sitting in a box collecting dust! Birthday cards I will gift :)

[@judyroberts7103]

You forgot the horses footprints in the snow

[@JuliaLisArt]

I know! *cries* Luckily you can add them to your painting

[@whatever8243]

I saw a horse too

[@lindamair4179]

As a suggestion maybe more just landscapes no people 🤣

[@davidprothero4139]
