Very soon, for the first time, Julia Barminova, an artist from Portugal recognized worldwide, will arrive in Mexico to teach two workshops during the III International Art Festival RÍOS DE COLOR in Mexico City. The first workshop is titled “The Art of Painting the Sea” and the second is “From Calm Seas to the Storm.”

You may attend just one day of the workshop for half the price.

Both workshops will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break, in Mexico City.

Note: The schedule within each day may be slightly adjusted; some workshops may start at 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. The final schedule will be confirmed in August.

These workshops are designed both for artists who have always dreamed of learning to paint the sea in watercolor and for those who wish to deepen and refine their skills in the marine landscape genre.

The sea is never the same. It can be serene and contemplative or wild and dramatic, and each of its states requires a different approach. During this masterclass, we will explore how to use watercolor techniques to depict a wide variety of water conditions: from calm anchorages and reflective surfaces to crashing waves and dynamic coastal scenes.

You will learn to create a convincing sense of depth and movement, paint waves and foam, and convey transparency and light in still waters. Special attention will be given to choosing the right techniques for each state and atmosphere of the sea.
