Julia Borodina is a Fine Art Painter from West Yorkshire (moving to Romiley, Greater Manchester) who exhibits nationally and internationally.
Working from her studio at the Creative Arts Hub in Mirfield, if she is not painting outdoors, (soon to be in the new studio premises), Julia creates images with intriguing compositions using free and spontaneous techniques, reflecting passion for the subject at hand.
A variety of commissions and her love for landscape have led to new explorations of rural parts of the UK, Europe, Russia and New Zealand.

Classes
Julia Borodina offers fine art classes for adults, both online and face‑to‑face in the UK.
Join her online Zoom painting workshops (available in six‑week blocks) for hands‑on tuition in oil, acrylic or watercolour, with live demonstrations, real‑time Q&A, and access to recordings. These online classes are designed for all levels, focusing on expressive techniques, materials and composition, and guided by Julia’s signature spontaneous, loose style that encourages confidence and creative exploration.
For those seeking an in‑person Painting Tuitions, Julia’s face‑to‑face art classes include days at Kirkheaton Library (near Hadersfield), Romiley (venue to be announced at the end of August 2025) and Plein‑Air landscape painting workshops. These sessions, full‑day blocks, invite participants to explore light, perspective, composition and bold approach to painting. Ideal for adults looking to develop technique, deepen artistic confidence, and enjoy painting in a community of like‑minded creatives.

Student Success Stories
'I was very impressed last night with the way you delivered the demonstration in equal measures of both charm and talent. I loved your approach to getting the feeling for the subject matter and addressing it with such a flexible looseness... you breathed a sense of adventure into the proceedings showing how a painting can develop into its own entity. Sometimes far removed from how we set out' - Ian.
'Thanks again for a wonderful course. I learnt so much about everything - paints, brushes, inks, sponges - and felt like I really began to pick up some skills. You are a very good teacher and I would certainly recommend you to anyone who wanted to learn how to paint with water colour' - Helen.
'Julia, your classes have given me so much, you have taken me out of my tight little inoffensive pictures and made me embrace a bolder and looser approach... You have also energised me and given me much more confidence in my ability' - Terry.
'Really enjoyed your demo as usual! You make all the complicated processes looking so easy! Thank you' - Kwan.
