Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

St Tropez Harbour - Demo Painting

St Tropez, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A demo painting from last year (2019) to a local art group.  It's a scene I really like painting (I think this is my fourth one!).  I don't normally like paining the same scene - unless you see my recent video up on YouTube where I do give some other reasons for painting the same scene.  It's really quite a simple composition.

Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

Trawlers at rest

An imaginary scene - during lockdown and running our of source photos I need to be a bit more resourceful and re-purpose some older paintings.  Change boat configuration, change the slope of the beach, change direction of sun and so on.

Painted on Saunders.

Polperro, Cornwall

Polperro, Cornwall, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Apart from the building and the shape of the background headland, a made up scene loosely based on Polperro in Cornwall UK.  I try to keep it loose and let the watercolor do its own thing.  While still damp, I do a bit of wet in wet with some darker values and get soft edges.

Demo painting - Newquay Harbour Low Tide

Newquay, Cornwall UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A recent demo painting done to a local art group and a slightly made up scene with the background being the cliffs behind the harbour and on the ridge a few houses.  Coming down into the middle ground there's the lifeboat station and then the beach of the harbour. A contra jour with emphasis on the strands of seaweed across the beach.

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.

Fivizzano Shadows - Poss Plein Air for October?

Fivizzano, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

I will be tutor again at the Watermill in Posara in October and during my week we visit the local town of Fivizzano, just up the road from the Mill.  Great place for plein air painting, weather permitting.  Loads of little back streets to explore like this one.

Plaza del Obispo Malaga - Warm and Cool

Malaga, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

The plaza del Obispo in Malaga, right next to Malaga Cathedral.  A striking yellowish building which as a colour always looks great against blue.  Kept things fairly loose in the shadows on the left, where there's a row of shops with things for sale on displays on the street.  Also a bit of simplification of the architectural details of the cathedral facade on the right.
