Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

Workshop Painting - Lincoln

Lincoln, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A workshop painting from last week.  In about an hour or so I painted this scene from Lincoln.  A few challenges from the source video - complex windows, shop windows on the buildings on the left.  Then the cobbled street - how would you do that in watercolour?  And next, the background.  There were two towers from the cathedral. I replaced with a simpler single tower and a whole lot less detail.

Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

Storm approaching - Gran Canaria

Some effects that are difficult to achieve with other mediums - the mixing of different thicknesses of paint for the sky, and letting them mix a little at the edges and the glow you could get as in the centre here by leaving the paper unpainted and first laying down clear water around that bright area, or in it, then painting carefully up to the area to get a soft edge.

 

Demo last night to Newton Watercolor Society

Demo painting last night to Newton Watercolor Society in Boston (it was via Zoom of course!).

About 40+ of their members painted along with me over a couple of hours. This is Fivizzano Market Day in mid October. A bit of sun and an exercise in perspective, figure drawing, and simplifying the scene.

Mijas - Round Building

The subject of a recent video up on my YouTube Channel, and the 'round' apartment building as I call it in the popular town of Mijas in southern Spain.  Very popular with the tourists, this is the 'edge' of the main tourist area with its network of narrow roads.  The levels of the building were quite tricky as they are not symmetrical - quite quirky!

Watercolor 15" x 11" on Saunders Waterford paper.

Latest Watercolor Demo - Boats in a Harbor scene in Livorno

My latest demo - boats in a harbor setting in the New Venice area of Livorno in Italy.  An area of wide canals, rather like Venice, winding through the historic part of the city.

Online demo via Zoom to Cookham Art Club Sept 2020

Painting from yesterday's watercolour demo to Cookham Art Club.  I love painting a local scene for art club demos, so this was the centre of their village, and based on a photo from oe of the club members.  Painted in an hour and a half with some questions and answers along the way.....  It was an exercise in perspective, composition and the importance of values in watercolour.  If you are a member of an art club and would like to book me for a demo or paint along experience, please contact me.

Viridian green and a bit of imagination on the April Workshop

2 Practices for my Watercolor Workshop last April and the live painting I did on the day.  All about a bit of freedom with the brush and using your imagination to come up with a stormy seascape.  Heavy use of viridian green.

Next workshop is August 29th and we are painting a tricky street scene perspective, some figures and some lively shadows.  More information at
