Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

Corner Cafes, Vilamoura Marina

Vilamoura, Portugal, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A sharp right-angle corner in the marina and a few canopies over cafes and restaurants along the waters edge.   I thought it made an interesting pattern looking across the tops of the parasols.  Palm trees simply painted with a small round brush and some dry brush marks, flicked to emulate palm fronds.

Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

Bristol Savages Sketch Night - There will always be an England

Weekly sketch night at my art society (well we are all at home locations for a bit), the 'Bristol Savages', and the topic for the night was 'There will always be an England'. So we have normally 2 hours to produce a painting based on that topic without the use of any reference material (so no cheating looking up on the web). Owning to the current social distancing restrictions, this of course was a virtual meeting.

My painting is based on a view looking down Gloucester Road and some dramatic shadows.

 

Wallingford Art Club - 2 hour online demo

2-hour demo via Zoom to 24 attendees from Wallingford Art Club.  I had selected 4 possible French Street scenes to paint and we all had a vote on what I would attempt for the demo.  Chosen scene was a pretty square in St Emilion South West France.  Demo covered composition, and how to simplify the scene.  Several watercolour techniques were covered and values.

Any art club out there who wants a couple of hours demo in watercolor, please contact me for details!

 

Dark Clouds St Ives

St Ives, Cornwall, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A bit of messing around and playing with warm against cool.  So mainly a cool, dark sky against warm, lighter, roof tops and carry a bit of light red into the sky.  Sorry to St Ives residents - I have changed the houses around a little!

Bristol Savages Sketch Night - 'Challenges Ahead'

Watercolour, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Weekly sketch night at my art society, the 'Bristol Savages', and the topic for the night was 'Challenges Ahead' (I think) - probably inspired by the virus issues at the moment. So we have 2 hours to produce a painting based on that topic without the use of any reference material (so no cheating looking up on the web).  I came up with an idea, someone with reduced mobility, climbing some steps.  Inspired by a Tuscan scene I have painted a couple of times.  Paint a scene enough times, you sort of remember it.

Bristol Savages Sketch Night - Grand Designs on Land Sea and Air

Weekly sketch night at my art society, the 'Bristol Savages', and the topic for the night was "Grand designs on land sea and air". So we have 2 hours to produce a painting based on that topic without the use of any reference material (so no cheating looking up on the web).

I based mine on a scene from St Tropez...

2 Paintings from Weekend Workshop

Winchester, UK, Watercolor 15" x 11"

Vernazza, Italy, Watercolor 15" x 11"

A couple of paintings from a weekend workshop I ran in Bristol.  Two very different scenes that we all attempted - Winchester and Vernazza.  I think a good format for the workshops I run is that I normally complete 2 demos in the day.  Attendees paint along with me, as in, I first do my drawing, then attendees do their drawings of the same scene, I do the first wash and then attendees do the wash and so on.  It seems to work well.

Both painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms

 

 

Stripy Blinds and Boats, Chania Harbour

Chania, Crete, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A little bit of a made-up composition based on the Old Harbour in Chania, Crete.  It's a location I have painted a few times, and it's a composition I am happy with - background apartments, row of boats and reflections.  This time I made a feature of the blinds.
