Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

Sunrise, Inner Harbour, Dartmouth

Dartmouth, Devon, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

I'm doing a lot of pre-wetting the paper at the moment, to get a soft glow to light in the sky and the reflection in water.  So here I applied to a scene I have done a few times before - the inner harbour in Dartmouth, Devon.  I don't normally do a red sky, but went for a bit of atmosphere in this one and keeping it loose.

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.

Boats at low tide, River Tamar, Saltash

Plymouth, Devon, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Some small boats at low tide on the River Tamar in Devon, UK.  Some needed a lick of paint (sorry owners) but a lovely subject to paint none the less.

Workshop demo painting - Dartmouth Inner Harbour

Dartmouth, Devon, 15" x 11"

A demo painting from quite a while ago.  The Inner Harbour at Dartmouth in Devon, UK.  An exercise in laying down a wash (the water), some careful painting around the foreground boats, composition with the placing of the boats, values (as in the dark of the reflections around the lighter value of the tops of the boats and a nit of looseness (the far boats in the shadow of the buildings).

Slipway Watermouth Bay North Devon

Watermouth, North Devon, 15" x 11"

A composition based on this sheltered bay in North Devon.  The slipway here at low tide is a long way from the water's edge.  Just to the right of it is a small building - not sure if it is the harbour master or something to do with the lifeboat station.   My reference photo was taken on a very overcast, but bright day, and I imagined it here being sunny with the late afternoon sun coming from the South West.  I introduced a figure to balance the boat on the left.

Bristol Savages - Artists Outing - May 2019 - Sidmouth Painting #4

Sidmouth, UK, 15" x 11"

The fourth and final plein air painting from my recent trip and a painting done in the Fore Street in the middle of town.  Probably the busiest street in Sidmouth, all pedestrianised and plenty of shops and nice bunting across the street which adds another dimension to a street scene looking down the road.  Of course I have included some different sized figures as well.
