Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

No Entry - Montpon - A possible video?

Montpon Menesterol, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Did this a little while back and made a video of it but have not edited and added commentary yet.  Would it be worthwhile publishing on YouTube?  So with this painting, I took just a very ordinary street scene.  Very ordinary, but I liked the shade in the foreground, the light against the house on the right and the balance of the two no entry road signs.  Simple things!

Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

Live, and Online, 2 hour Watercolor Workshop with Tim Wilmot, Sunday 28th April 2019

I am running another live, online watercolour demonstration on Sunday, April 28th at 6 pm UK time (BST).  Wherever you are, join me for this unique paint along, where we will decide to paint a street scene in watercolour.  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.

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.

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 one of these scenes (we are going to vote at the start of the workshop on which one you want me to paint):

 Hopefully meet up with you online for this next demo!

Bristol Savages Thursday Night painting - Saltash

Great evening at the Bristol Savages Thursday night 'Savages with a twist'. Jazz band, magic, comedy and more. Plus, I managed to get a painting in - Saltash at low tide, 22" x 15" painted on Saunders Waterford, cold press.  Nice to paint while being accompanied by live music!

Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #10 - Painting in the village of Monte del Bianchi

The last day on last years trip as a Painting Tutor at the Watermill in Posara, and a trip up into the mountains to the village of Monte del Bianchi.  An almost 'deserted' village, very peaceful and quiet.  Our group went down to the end of the village and painted at the back of the village church.  A washing line caught my eye and inspired me to do this scene framed by a couple of  'pencil' Italian Cypress trees.

Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #8 - Visit to a local monastery

Day 5 as painting tutor on last years course at the Watermill in Tuscany and a visit to nearby 'Il Convento dei Carmine', a privately owned monastery with ancient cloisters and frescoes, gardens and views.  Lots of different views around the monastery and the internal cloisters (very tricky with lots of columns, shadows and perspective.  I decided to do an external shot with my demo and invented a gardener pushing a wheelbarrow.

Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #3 - Fivizzano Market Day Plein Air

Day 3 last year on the WaterMill Posara painting holiday and a trip to nearby Fivizzano. It's market day on Tuesday, in the central square and around the Medici Fountain. When painting plein air with lots of people around you as in this market, it's probably best to position yourself somewhere out of the way (I was on the side of the market, up against a wall) and comfortable. #watercolorpainting #tuscany #watermill #pleinairpainting #stcmill

Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #4 - Steps to Verrucola Castle

#pleinairpainting #watercolorpainting Plein air painting number 4 on last years trip to Tuscany as tutor on an October Painting week at the Watermill in Posara. This one is of the steps leading up to the castle of Verrucola up in the mountains. Lovely afternoon in some sun with fellow artists from all over the world. Painted on Saunders Waterford, #stcmill

Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #3 - Verrucola

Verrucola, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Monday, and a visit slightly up in the mountains to the village of Verrucola.  Here, we all positioned ourselves on or around the bridge leading into the village with lots of different painting options - the front of the village as I did, up the valley or a view of the mountains in the background.  Lunchtime and a delicious hearty stew washed down with some local red wine.  Ready for some loose painting in the afternoon.

Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #2 - Plein Air & living dangerously on the main road

Posara, Italy, 15" x 11"

The Afternoon on the first day and for the second plein air I decided to take our group up to the main road from the Mill and do a bit of street painting and a view towards the lovely village church and tower.  The only minor hazard being on the road is to tuck yourself close into the side walls as much as possible to avoid the Sunday afternoon traffic.  I also broke out my 3-colour palette on this one.

Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #1

Fivizzano, Italy, 15" x 11"

The very first plein air picture from last years painting holiday where I was the tutor for a week in the lovely Tuscany countryside (Watermill at Posara).  So this was an easy composition to get everyone on my course into the swing of things with a few simple shapes and colours, and if you wanted to, insert a few figures.  Well, I had to put in an artist and easel, of course, this being a painting holiday.  More details of the workshops I run, please click on the menu item above.
