You didn't steal anything. Brush loading has been around for years. You are an Indredible artist. Don't let the idiots dim your light. Thanks for sharing your style, sense of expression and indecisiveness. Keeping it real. I appreciate you so much.
You definitely have a signature style. It’s your voice. Your brush strokes and colour choices and the way you let them blend makes your work identifiable as Julia painting.
I absolutely love your color blocking style. I love bright colors so I am going to give this a try. Thank you for sharing. FYI-you are a great teacher!
Thank you for showing a new fresh visual to help with color theory as well as a genuine person who has so much heart. I appreciate your “signature style”. Don’t let the trolls discourage your voice. We artists are really sensitive so they target us more with stupid verbiage. I feel like I have friend in my studio painting with me when I paint and listen to you. ❤
Julia you are doing a great job showing us how your approach your painting. I love the flowers. You are correct with the signature style. The perspective on the large painting looks awesome. I am not a painter, it all looks beautiful.
Another fan chiming in here--you can absolutely have a signature style that you love, and it doesn't matter if others have it, too. I love how serendipitous (spelling?) you are, and you inspire me to loosen up. I'm realizing while watching you paint that I am overstating and being too careful in my work, and it lacks that freshness I want and see in yours. I'm off to loosen up and have more fun! Thank you!!
I'm sure many people before you have painted in a style similar. You've perfected your style to suit you, and it pops. I'd like to really try a painting like this someday, but I don't think it would be considered stealing. I think we all learn from each other all the time. Why else would we put ourselves out there and teach others, right? I really can't understand the opinionated people that have to make rude comments to others. Your work is stunning. Keep doing you. It's captivating, and energizing. I've been deeply depressed and ill for the past 7 or 8 months since my mom passed. I've been unable to get back onto my painting with any oomph. Watching you is perking me up to want to paint again, and I don't paint a lot in acrylics even❤
OMW Julia, watch out for the TROLLS!! I love your signature style of blending the colours with your strokes on the canvass. Brush strokes etc is not the exclusive property of any other artist......... Unfortunately, trolling has become a thing for keyboard warriors. The trick is to totally ignore them... Hopefully they go looking for another target 😁
Fantastic, could see the depth increasing as you painted 👏🏼 and the flower painting was beautifully finessed! It really pops now. Agree with the others, signature is a completely valid expression for talking about your style.
After you put the white in on the left side of the painting, I was thinking a little light turquoise on the right side-😂and you said “a little turquoise on this side”…this gives me hope for my own paintings-I’m thinking like Julie! 😊 Please oh please keep doing these thought process videos-so helpful!!!
Both paintings are just beautiful! Signature style is just the style you work in the most. You can't steal a signature style - everyone has their own! And applying the paint the way you do has always been done. You didn't steal anything lol.
Newbie here. I’m a Canadian artist living down in southern Panama..love the studio tour and had a few chuckles! I relate. Nice gallery in Ontario wow! Will be subscribing as I love checking out my fellow Canadian art tribe. Love the red…
Just found you on RU-vid and your style really resonates with me. I am a retired teacher who discovered a passion for painting a few years ago. I love it and I also am a avid gardener. Your paintings are amazing. Thank you for sharing ❤
I LOVE your work! I am a fellow painter. Stumbled upon you today and have watched a few videos. This video was the most informative and interesting for me. You shared your method and your thinking while painting in real time! Thank you! I have liked and subscribed!
Signature style - there will allllways be those people - always. You are correct. Plus (bonus) Solomon said there is 'nothing new under the sun', what has been will be again. He was way smarter then these 'nellies' who have to comment ie give a piece of their mind. (Will not chase that any further). We are artists! Enjoy!
Great art! Much imagination!! Love the hright colors. Could you please tell or show me how you transition between paint colors including lights and darks on your paintbrush to your painting.
Hi ! Love your red background! It attracts me to your videos 😄 How about adding some green berries to your floral painting. I have a hydranger wreath that has clusters of creamy white greenish berries. Keep up the good work! Linda in New Hampshire
I can sooooo relate to the wild comments, especially on Shorts. 99% of the time I get the kindest comments. But that 1% is angry! 😂 Keep on sharing your signature style!! ❤
You said you’re not a teacher but you really are a great teacher so far just watching your work you have your own unique style that no one can compare to. I love the play of colors and like your layering and then you are explaining as you go even though you said you wouldn’t be able to do that with a person there and I get that, I can’t concentrate painting when I’m teaching but I can help others so you’re really doing that it’s fantastic and I appreciate you and the fact that you’re creative space & working time with us!! Thank you!! Love your paintings!
A good trick to figure out if your values are good, take a photo with your phone and convert the image into black and white. All will become clear :) And for establishing distance, cool colours recede and warm colours advance. LOVE all your colours!!
This is a wonderful experience. Thank you Julia. I have just started painting this winter to keep the blues away. It’s working fabulously and hanging out with you in your space is such a bonus. You are my people.
No matter how long a technique has been around its still your unique take on it... Just keep doing you! You'll figure out your RU-vid style.. I just subscribed so you must be doing something right! :) Hugs! deb
You are correct about signature style.Even if others double and triple load their brush with colours, each artist applies it differently. I use tgat technique for animal fur. Load a brush with dark blues, greens and purple for each stroke
Don’t worry about finding something to say while you’re painting, just seeing how you lay down strokes is so mesmerizing. I’d love to see a whole painting being made someday (minus the painting of the red undercoating and chalk & paint outlines, just all the parts that follow that). Love to see you work out a painting! Thank you so much for showing us your process!
Love these videos! Thank you! Very informative and educational. I totally see the improvement on the long waterfall picture. Really made a difference didn’t it! I also love the floral on the red background and think the lighter additions really made a big difference for the better. I don’t like to criticize so I’m not sure how to say it, so I just will say it. 😂. I think there is some loss of definition with the brushstroke additions to the red background. When the red was a little more solid, the floral really popped! I like the brushstroke additions to the red background, but something is going on there (to me in my humble opinion ☺️) where some definition has been lost and maybe a little muddiness? What do you think??? I do suffer from not knowing when to stop a painting though, so, it could just be me! Lol
Absolutely love this floral! So gifted! I would add whte flower to lower or mid right. Odd numbers are the rule? But then what? Do you because you do an excellent job!
(Waving at you from across the lake, over here in Bowmanville) I got my head around "talking" while I worked at my art desk and recording at the same time by imagining I'm sitting with a friend while I work. Not that I'm any kind of expert. I blurt sometimes. I say the wrong things sometimes (example: there's a distributor named Tim Holtz, well Canadian that I am I constantly say Tim HORTONs! Duh.) I also tend to say "um" a lot and I think I laugh too much... but then again, if I'm sitting, chatting with a friend, I usually laugh a lot then too. I think you are doing great Julia. I am thoroughly enjoying learning how and why you approach your work the way you do, especially since I am not a painter, I work with paper and books. Keep going! I'm loving seeing you on YT!👋😀☕
There are billions of thinking creative people on our planet. Who owns an idea? Who owns a style? The person who first thought of something or did something or is it the first person who marketed it, brought it to public attention etc? Artists have always experimented. Each artist has a lifetime of experiences and combinations of experiences they draw upon. It worries me that we get so hung up on who invented what technique etc. You certainly did not steal anything.
I love LOVE your style. Thank you. I have to ask you, why does your original bright white hydrangia bother me? I want to add more lower. My eye stays on the white. I not only love your style, but also your joyful spitit. Thank you
Love your work! Just found your channel, so not sure if you have already shown your paint pallet you work with and if you use and mediums and how you keep your paint wet??? 😃
