Watercolour demonstration by Tim Wilmot with people, buildings and cars. This is a 3 colour painting - I am only using Red (Rose Opera), Yellow (Yellow Light) and Blue (Cinereous Blue). Sorry, and a Neutral Tint for darks.
More paintings at
www.timwilmot.com/
In this demo I will be covering...
1) Choice of Subject. What makes a good watercolour subject. How to simplify the scene.
2) Materials I use such as the paper. I will also cover the paints I use and the palette, plus how I hold the different brushes for different techniques.
3) Doing the outline sketch as the first step. How to draw boat shapes.
4) Doing the sky and the first wash of the background and then the foreground.
5) Shadows and details of the figures and cars.
6) Watch out for the 'sword' brush at the end and highlighting tips.
7) Using those 3 colours to get most colours you want!

Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your process. I've been watching water colorist videos for over two years and I've learned the most from this one. I'm a minimalist with pigments and you've helped me so much. I know you probably won't get this but I admire your mastery of a large brush. I won't attempt it but I do admire it. I will, however, work today with these three pigments. Well, except it will be Sennelier yellow as that's what I have. Thanks again Tim.

Hi tim, just like to say thanks for all the videos over the years. You definately inspired me to paint and recently i have taken to the brush. Having never painted for over 30 years of drawing (scared of colour and failure?) i am totally loving it, i'm already painting outdoors and have even managed to sell some (which has greatly helped towards supplies). You're the first demo's i started watching, and although i have seen many others (especially recently) i always come back. You talk in a soothing manner which compliments the education. Plus i love your expressive loose style. Its what i am certainly going for. I wonder where this adventure will take me? Watercolour is highly addictive.

Your demonstrations are the best. I really appreciate the commentary to follow your thought process. I am trying to do more three colour paintings; for some reason my brain works better with CMY as the primaries, but it is all good practice. Keep the videos coming, please!

Oh youtube won't let me edit my post to ask a question.... sorry... This is not a rhetorical question but a legitimate curiosity. There's a bit of bleed from the initial blue wash above the building. I'm curious why you left it instead of continuing the blue into a the sky a bit. Hope I asked that right. Again, I'm only curious. Thank you Tim.

Hey Wilmot, I love painting but i have a serious problem, I m a colorblind, as 10 percent of the population, and really I would like to paint watercolor as pro, My limitation is hard to find blends and colours. So can u give me any tecnich to use watercolor with less colours or only one or two colours ? What do U think about watercolor wash ( one color ) I use very well the tones and intensity to paint with one color, but i dont know if have value as artwork or artpiece. I think that is a giant challenge to teach painting for colorblinds, thanks U have a nice weekend

@TimWilmot 5 жыл бұрын

Are you red/green colour blind? Why not use say an ultramarine blue and neutral tint?

@s.a.r.konning8164 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Tim thank u so much for ur response... Im a colorblind red green. , I paint watercolour but I have many limitations. I m using the colours seeing the packaging of the watercolors but when I must mix colours, that is my real difficult, unhapilly I m painting only with one color (watercolour wash ) , blue, or black or sepia. . sorry my english language , I dont understand about to use ultramarine or neutral tint. can U to do a tutorial to help to many coloblinds about these tips? really would be very useful,to thousands of colorblinds that would love painting.... thanks for all
