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!

I normally paint the sky first....But not with this one

Eymet, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

The sky is normally the first thing I paint, but not with this one.  I wanted to go for a deep blue sky, darker in value than the buildings.  So I painted the buildings and foreground first, then went in with my dark blue sky, carefully painting around the outline of the tops of roofs.  It sort of worked.  

I did a video of this.  Is it worth putting it up on YouTube?

Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

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!

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.

Painted of Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

 

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. 

Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

 

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
