Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

Demo Painting to Bristol Art Group - Kingswear, Devon

Kingswear, Devon, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A recent demo to a local art group and an exercise in perspective.  This is Kingswear in Devon, with a road on the left going uphill and a road on the right going down to the ferry station on the river.  Plus added complication of the buildings in the middle ground and the other side of the river (Datrmouth town).  Tricky.

Corsham Art Society demo #1

Corsham, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A recent demo to the Corsham Art Society.  A painting I did during a two-hour demo.  This was painting number 1, so done in under an hour whilst fielding questions from the audience.  It's the top of the town and a pretty row of cottages on a bend in the road.

LIVE and ONLINE Watercolour Workshop with Tim Wilmot - April 19th

I am running another live, online watercolour demonstration on Sunday, April 19th at 6 pm UK time (GMT).  Wherever you are, join me for this unique paint along, where we will paint a stormy seascape.  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.  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.  

What you will need (apart from paper and water)

1. A flat brush if possible, mop brush and a small brush for detail work
2. A green like viridian green, neutral tint and some white paint
3. Some masking tape and scissors

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 pay the $7 USD fee via the very secure link given.  You will then be sent an email with the simple connection instructions for attending the demo...

We will be painting something similar to this:

 Hopefully meet up with you online for this next demo!

 

Demo Painting to the Bristol Art Group - Porlock Weir

Porlock Weir, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

My first demo painting to the Bristol Art Group and a simple composition - easy background, cottages on the left, a boat, a figure and a light sign against a dark background.  And using a few different watercolor techniques - wash (of course), wet in wet, dry brush, and splattering.  Normally with the workshops I do, if it's a full day, we one painting in the morning and one in the afternoon.  So we all do our painting together and in stages - first I do my outline sketch, then the attendees do their outline sketch.  I then do my first or only wash, then everyone else does their wash, and so on.  It seems to work well as a format.

Eveneing demo at Cowbridge Art Society

My two-hour demos normally include me painting 2 watercolours.  As a rule, I like to paint a scene very local to the venue.  So a shortlist of photos are presented to the attendees, and a vote is taken on which 2 to paint.  So my visit to Cowbridge Art Society had these 4 photos as the choice:

The most popular 2 were the Physic Garden top right and Ogmore Castle bottom left.  So each of the following paintings were done in under an hour, with a bit of commentary from me along the way:

Above - Ogmore Castle

Above - The Physic Garden (bit of a rush to complete this one!)

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.

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.

Latest YouTube Video - I test drive a 'Nano Mister' for Watercolour

This is a recent video (new tutorial coming soon!) where I test drive a Nano Mister.  They're used in the beauty industry and produce a very fine mist.  So worth a go as I found my normal mister produced little droplets on the paper rather than producing a consistent layer of water...
