Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

Live, and Online, 2 hour Watercolor Workshop with Tim Wilmot, Sunday 14th July 2019

I am running another live, online watercolour demonstration on Sunday, July 14th at 6 pm UK time (BST).  Wherever you are, join me for this unique paint along, where we will paint a beach scene with boats (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...

We will be painting this scene - some small boats at Saltash in Cornwall, UK.  So an exercise in simplifying the scene, values and shadows and drawing boats.  Maybe some splattering to get the effect of those small pebbles.  Oh, and we will also include some figures!:

 Hopefully meet up with you online for this next demo!

Bristol Savages artist outing plein air 2019 #3

Tewkesbury, UK, 15" x 11"

The 3rd plein air just before lunch.  This is a view down St Mary's Lane and some lovely old houses with the timber fronts.  The dog was an afterthought.  I painted the figure and it looked like they were being pulled by something.  Well, it had to be a dog!

Bristol Savages artist outing plein air 2019 #2

Tewkesbury, UK, 15" x 11"

2nd Plein air painting with my art club, the Bristol Savages.  Another view towards the Abbey from the mill.  The day was starting to warm up nicely, so you have to speed up your work with watercolour.  The cars were actually parked at 90 degrees to how they are in my picture, but I think they look better this way.

Bristol Savages Artists Outing to Tewkesbury - Plein Air #1

Tewkesbury, UK, 15" x 11"

My first plein air of Tewkesbury on a recent trip there with my art group, the Bristol Savages.  Absolutely lovely day, no wind and bright sunshine.  First plein air was an iconic view of the Abbey across the river.  Very beautiful spot and very peaceful earlier on in the morning.

Plein air painting with the Exiles - May 2019 #3

3rd painting in the afternoon, still sheltering from the strong winds behind the Scout Hut on the Waterfront in Bristol.  Here a view across some wasteland and the spire of St Mary Redcliffe.

Plein air#2 - painting with the Exiles down on Bristol Harbourside

Bristol Harbourside, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Second painting on a recent plein air trip with my painting group, the Exiles.  The sun came out late morning, but the wind was still too strong out in exposed places. So I tucked in behind the Mud Dock Cafe building and just painted what was in front of me - the quayside, tops of boats and some apartments on the other side of the harbour as a backdrop.

Bristol Waterfront Plein Air 2019 #1

Bristol Waterfront, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Out with my painting friends 'the Exiles' recently and a trip to nearby Bristol and its Waterfront/Harbourside area.  A very breezy day - Most of us had our easels blown over at some stage, and on this one, I was painting into the wind and had to lean forwards against my easel to hold it in place.  So here is a view towards Prince Street Bridge, the cranes beyond that and some small boats in the foreground.

Bridge to the Ancona Cultural Centre, Italy

Ancona, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

The bridge over to the cultural centre in Ancona.  A big fortress-style building as an island in the harbour.  Just a simple scene with a couple of boats and some reflections.  White gouache used for some highlights.

Riberac, Dordogne, France

Riberac, France, 15" x 11"

I have painted this town in France a few times but was playing around trying to get the colour of the buildings here in France.  In this one, I use mainly a combination of cerulean blue and burnt sienna to get the colour of the stone.  I tried to keep everything soft, with just a few hard edges.  Trying to paint in a loose style was a challenge with the windows and I think I fell into that trap with the windows on the right.  Too detailed now I look at them.

Shady avenue between buildings - Unknown location

Watercolour, 15" x 11"

I did this painting last year, but just can't recollect where it is.  Maybe Spain, but I can't be sure.  Anyway, a classic bit of deep values and coll colours in the shade.  I'll remember later where it was!

Tortosa Cathedral Spain

Tortosa Cathedral - Spain, Watercolour 15" x 11"

I was going for a range of values in this one - the dark foreground shadows and then lighter background, plus some warms and cools with the burnt sienna and blues of the sky (mainly cobalt blue) and figures. Using a wet in wet technique, I got the soft edge between the sky and the buildings - so the sky wash was painted first and then a thicker wash for the buildings.
