I loved that you shared this tutorial of "mistakes." First of all, the finished product was awesome. Second, I have a stack of failed attempts that I never completed, because I didn't have the bravery or insight to try to save them. Your brilliant save of this painting gives me a push to keep trying on those incomplete projects. A question: When you film a tutorial, are you doing so first-time, or have you done a similar painting before as practice? If the answer is first-time, then I am even further in awe of your abilities. Keep doing what you are doing!
I love your misty painting and wanted to say don’t be so hard on yourself. It is the nature of watercolor to have a mind of it’s own. The surprises is why we we love it.
Speaking as a beginner I love watching a professional painter make mistakes and then fix it with an explanation. I think that’s just as important in the learning process. It also gives me the incentive to not give up knowing that experienced painters don’t always get the results they want the first time. 😊. Thanks for sharing that Julia! 👍. Love your “moody” paintings.
I love that bit of the "mistake ". You didn't make a big deal and fixed it with out editing that part out making it seem that you are perfect and can do no wrong . It helps us beginners that have anxiety with starting and making mistakes. Great, great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Julia, I find you charmingly human. I know that sense of panic when it doesn’r seem to be working out. I love your result btw. Thank you for sharing. I learned some new approaches from you. I’m 81. Nice to know I'm not too old to learn new tricks.
I'm new to your channel and I'm so glad that you showed your frustration while trying to paint this picture, it is refreshing to know that even a seasoned pro like yourself still makes mistakes and isn't afraid to show them to the world!...you really don't see many artists talk about their mistakes !..Big 👍 to you!....keep up the good work!....I learned alot from this video !....
I loved it! Thanks for showing how to fix your mistake and taking us right along with it. Ive always wanted to see how to make a misty background! I'm excited!!
Good work on rescuing this painting! Thank you for showing this and letting all of us beginners that all is not lost if you make a mistake. I think it turned out great! Heck, I thought it looked good at the 18:30 mark. The brownish color made it look like a cliff. IMO you could have stopped there.
“A girl can hope” 😂. Love that. I’m not sure what you did that was so wrong except maybe went too dark too soon? Thanks for this though. You’re correct, we must persevere with a painting, but accept that we still may not like it, BUT someone will. I’ve posted many paintings I’ve done on IG that I absolutely did not like, but someone did. It’s quite funny when it happens. Blessings to you!
Have to agree with the others that its very nice to see that its not all simple and stright forward every time. That makes this the best and most important step by step video I've ever seen, so thank you so much! The painting turned out amazing as well.. thumbs up🙏👍
I have some Kuretake water-soluble graphite pans in muted tones that would be perfect for this. Have wanted to use them for a while but never seemed to find a project that they'd be right for. Think this is it. I've learned so much from you in the short time I've found your channel. Thank you 🙏🏻 Now if I can just find the time to quiet my mind to get on with it. Your work is beautiful!
I've never tried cotton paper before but I will be now! I also appreciate seeing your "mistakes" and maybe you would talk us through how you fix them next time? Keep doing these moody ones if you would. I'm learning how to make everything NOT look like a muddy mess ;)
Hello dear friend. Congratulations on the wonderful video you shared very interesting, thanks for sharing please keep in touch please,., 💕,💗.💞, 💞💝,., 💖
Julia, I have watched many of your paintings and love them ❤. However I have noticed you clearing your throat throughout your painting. You should see someone about that!!
100% cotton watercolor paper holds moisture much better than regular watercolor paper. As a result, it dries slower, allowing you do apply details without causing cauliflowering, but also allows color to spread out evenly for a perfect gradient.
Let me know what you thought about this easy watercolor foggy forest for beginners tutorial (aka me learning from my own mistakes).

Such a wonderful compliment, thank you Jessica. I am by no means a professional - novice or intermediate at best!

Nothing wrong with making mistakes! It's not like your life depends on the success of your painting ;)

Thanks Rita! Wishing you many paintings that you love!
This came out lovely and was such a valuable lesson for me.
Glad to hear it!
Very nice; love the mood you set in this painting.
Thanks David!

Thank for so much for this comment! I feel honored.
What a great save! Thank you so much for sharing. I love it and am going to try it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing your talent as well as your mistakes. 🙏Turned out
Great 👍
Thanks so much!
Super! It’s lovely. Thanks.
:)
Very nice! Loved seeing the recovery.

I find my mistakes can dictate a new direction too…brava!
Exactly how I feel... after the fact haha
Love it
:)
Great job! Love how you fixed it! Looks awesome, love the misty look.
:)
I love the foggy scenes! 💛
Me too!
I'm going to do this again and again. I think I need better paper. I ❤ the look of this.
Cotton paper will really change things especially in achieving moody misty styles!

I just love comments like these - makes the last 3 years of tutorials worth it!
Thanks for showing beginners how to fix things and not give up. Watercolor gets labeled as difficult, but it’s not if you keep practicing.
Glad it was helpful!
I feel like a stalker…lol just found you yesterday…love how real these vids are…keep ‘em coming❤
Welcome!!
I've never tried cotton paper before but I will be now! I also appreciate seeing your "mistakes" and maybe you would talk us through how you fix them next time?
Keep doing these moody ones if you would. I'm learning how to make everything NOT look like a muddy mess ;)
I will definitely paint more moody ones! Need to vary it up a bit though to give everyone a bit of everything :)
Your initial blurry trees have granulated beautifully. I’d love to know what pints you had in that mix.
I don't know the exact color names, but thank you for watching!
Are you using hot press paper on this tutorial?
Thanks
No - I'm using 100% cotton paper
Adore this type of painting and would love to see more. You did an excellent job on it...thank your
Thank you! More coming!
It’s gorgeous. I thought a tiny sweet Christmas tree?
Thank you!

какую бумагу вы используете? 100% хлопок? она совсем не деформируется
Julia, I have watched many of your paintings and love them ❤. However I have noticed you clearing your throat throughout your painting. You should see someone about that!!
I appreciate your concern but I must have been sick when filming this... don't remember!
Paper lb using normally? RUclips Waynesville NC 🇺🇸 Veteran
It's 100% cotton paper :)
Lol I mean foggy 😂
Nature realy isn’t perfect:-)
you mention cotton paper. What can that do that paper-paper can’t.

@@JuliaLisArt Thank you! Must try. Love your work. Cheers.
