Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

Live, and Online, 2 hour Watercolor Workshop with Tim Wilmot, Sunday 15th September 2019

I am running another live, online watercolour demonstration on Sunday, September 15th at 6 pm UK time (BST).  Wherever you are, join me for this unique paint along, where we will paint an English Village scene (see photo below).  This will not be a recording.  It is LIVE.

This online workshop is suitable for painters of any level.  It will be a demonstration in Watercolor.  I will go at a slow pace and describe with commentary what I am doing and the techniques I am using.  The commentary will only be in English, and I will try and speak slowly because I have many attendees where English is not their first language.

All you will need is a good/reliable internet connection, and a headphone or PC speakers to hear my audio commentary (Worldwide Conference call phone numbers will also be provided if you want to connect by phone).  If you want to, you'll be able to ask plenty of questions as I go along.  There is a $7 USD fee to attend this live session.  It will not be uploaded to YouTube or available to anyone apart from the attendees who have paid to watch.  I should be able to send you a link to the recording of the demo afterwards, which only you can see.  

The demo might be an hour to an hour and a half in duration (depends on how many questions/comments I get!).  We will paint at a slow speed and in stages.  So you can paint along with me if you want, or wait until you receive a link to the recording.

Here's a photo from a previous session, with 'attendee' Jack Cwiek showing his setup, following me as I paint!

And this is what it could look like on your screen..

You need to register to attend (please do this as soon as possible and not on the day) and I will then send you a payment request from me for your $7 USD fee.  You will then be sent an email with the simple connection instructions for attending the demo...

Registration will close a week before the event. 

We will be painting this scene - the pretty UK village of Biddestone.  A typical village inn, some cottages, pub sign and cars.  Oh, and we will also include some figures!:

Piazza Garibaldi, Livorno, Dark to the Light

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

The Piazza Garibaldi (I think I have painted many Garibaldi named streets and squares) in Livorno, and I love painting these scenes where we have a dark foreground and a light background.  For me, it creates a nice atmosphere of you are in a cool place and you are looking towards light and warmth.

Riomaggiore Cinque Terre - Blue Boats in a Row

Riomaggiore, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

I could have painted in this place all day.  Just down by these boats, and with the changing sunlight directions, many painting subjects become possible.  And the view down to the sea has a great help for composition with the opposite sides of the buildings.

France Painting Holiday 2019 - Plein air #14 - Bergerac sketch while waiting for the bus

Bergerac, France, 15" x 11"

The last plein air of my French trip and a real quickie while waiting for the bus.  Maybe I could have gone a bit darker with the background buildings or a bigger range of values?  I don't know.  Anyway I was happy with the result and a little reminder of the visit.

France Painting Holiday 2019 - Plein air #13 - Bergerac

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Place Pelissière, in Bergerac France.  A quick plein air while my painting friends were lunching, and I almost wet abstract on this one.  A symmetrical view, against the light and some chance to play with shadows and shapes with the cafes and parasols.  Sword brush helped define the foliage on the tree.

France Painting Holiday 2019 - Plein air #12 - Bergerac

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A second plein air in the town of Bergerac.  So many lovely narrow streets to paint.  When I painted this one, so lucky to be fairly quiet and not many distractions.  It's surprising when you setup your easel and start painting, how few people interrupt you and just leave you alone.

France Painting Holiday 2019 - Plein air #11 - Bergerac

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Day 5 and a day trip to Bergerac, the largest town on our itinerary.  Lovely old timber clad buildings here with crooked edges and narrow street.  Here a scene I have done a few times before.  This demo I decided to do landscape orientation.

Bristol Savages SWAT evening painting - Staithes N Yorkshire

Staithes, N Yorkshire, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Painted during a recent evening at my art society, The Bristol Savages, this is a made-up scene of the footbridge over the Beck in the pretty village of Staithes, well like by artists as a location to paint plein air.  I have painted this scene some 4 or 5 years ago and the main house of the other side of the river was a bright turquoise colour.  I decided to change that and make the focus the shape of the boat pointing downstream.

France Painting Holiday 2019 - Plein air #10 - Main square in village of Villefranche

Villefranche de Lonchat, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A quickie while waiting for the bus to take us home.  This the lovely main square in the village of Villefranche de Lonchat. Maybe complete in 25 minutes or so.  You get to paint really loose when you have a time limit or deadline.

France Painting Holiday 2019 - Plein air #9 - Cafe Courtyard Villefranche de Lonchat

Villefranche de Lonchat, France, 15" x 11"

A shady courtyard at the back of a cafe in the French village of Villefranche de Lonchat.  I liked the shape of the shadows on the walls, like a 'V' shape and a brightly lit area in the middle.  Had some fun painting the stone work of the building - not to much detail.

France Painting Holiday 2019 - Plein air #8 Villefranche de Lonchat

Villefranche, France, 15" x 11"

Day 4 (Wednesday) and first plein air demo of the day looking up a street towards the centre of the village of Villefranche de Lonchat.  A very pretty village in the southern area of the Dordogne region.  All I can remember about this one was the bright sun behind me - so had to wear sunglasses when looking at the ultra-bright paper.  Wearing sunglasses when painting takes a bit of getting used to and must alter your perception of tonal values and colours.
