Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

Live, and Online, 2 hour Watercolor Workshop with Tim Wilmot, Sunday March 1st 2020

I am running another live, online watercolour demonstration on Sunday, March 1st at 6 pm UK time (GMT).  Wherever you are, join me for this unique paint along, where we will paint the pretty town of St Emilion in France.  It's a popular tourist destination and a World Heritage Site.  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.

I might be painting this one using just three colors !!

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 (as a Public Video) 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 town of St Emilion in France.  Old buildings, shadows and cars.  Oh, and we will also include some figures!:

Reflections Arrecife

Arrecife, Lanzarote, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A possible candidate for a YouTube video where I loved the reflections in the scene and the glassy appearance of the surface of the water.  This is a small sheltered, tidal lake in the middle of the main town/city on the island.  Tricky having to deal with the background buildings - they are painted white but not 'white' in appearance.

Timber walkway - Livorno

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

There's a network of canals running through the city and along most of them, especially where small boats are moored up, you have these access walkways below the main street level and of course now and again some steps to get down to them.  I though this was an interesting composition - a turn in the walkway and the city in the background as a backdrop.

Road to Fivizzano - experimenting with blooms

Fivizzano, Italy, 15" x 11"

Experimenting with blooms here as a technique for background hills.  Blooms will also occur if you drip wet paint or clean water into a semi-moist area of paint.  You can avoid making "blooms" or "cauliflowers" marks by being patient and not trying to add more paint into an area that is still not dried yet.  I was encouraging them here.

Fivizzano Shadows - Poss Plein Air for October?

Fivizzano, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

I will be tutor again at the Watermill in Posara in October and during my week we visit the local town of Fivizzano, just up the road from the Mill.  Great place for plein air painting, weather permitting.  Loads of little back streets to explore like this one.

Fishing Boats return, Quartiera, Portugal

Quartiera, Portugal, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Fishing boats returning to port.  A little bit of a made up scene and some imagination on the right hand side with all of the moored up fishing boats.  Went with a bit of a dramatic sky with a sort of zig-zag use of a large mop brush rather than a tidy graded wash.

Tewkesbury Art Club - Demo painting #2

Tewkesbury, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A demo painting from last year, done in under an hour.  This is the corner of the street, down by the mill and with all this rain and flooding we're having in the UK, I hope these houses and occupants are keeping safe.

Latest video - Watercolour Tutorial - I paint the River Tamar

I'm painting the River Tamar (again) in my latest video and mention some tips I think are useful for painting a complex scene (see the source photo I use).

Demo #2 to Frome Art Club - Chania Harbour

Chania, Greece, 15" x 11"

The second demo painting to Frome Art Club and a demo of reflections and boats and values.  I normally do 2 demo paintings over a two-hour slot with a painting club (use my hairdryer to speed things up).   This is Chania Harbour in Crete.  Painted almost vertically because with a large audience behind you, you need people to see what you're doing.

Steps Monte Del Bianchi

Monte del Bianchi, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Anyone who has been on the Watermill Painting Holidays will walk pass these steps on a Friday excursion to the peaceful village of Monte del Biacnchi high up in the hills.  I quite fancied painting this one because of the angular shadows and the high contrast - bright walls and some deep dark shade.

Malaga Cathedral - Dry brush strokes

Malaga Cathedral, Malaga, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Cathedral is on the left.  Quite a few dry brush strokes on this one, made easier by using slightly rough paper and not too much water on the brush.  You only get one shot at some of these key strokes down the left-hand side with the lines of perspective.
