8 жыл бұрын

A full watercolour demonstration with commentary by Tim Wilmot showing many watercolour techniques such as a watercolour wash, blending colours, painting around objects, wet in wet and dry brush strokes.
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 water.
5) Shadows and details on the boats and their reflections.
6) Watch out for the 'sword' brush at the end and highlighting tips.
More information on watercolour demos, lessons and recent paintings by Tim Wilmot can be found at www.timwilmot.com/

Lovely painting too Tim. Here is an observation Tim, I was happy to see you add the arials etc that linked the background to the foreground. I guess you could also do that with some reflections from the background boats and buildings in the water, either with some darks or lifting out some lights.

Excellent video (: I have a question: The bottom of the boats - you left those white, because you knew you will use a significantly darker value there. Can it be preferable to also cover these areas in the earlier washes? (for example - covering them with the color of the water). Is it more a matter of personal preference to leave these white? The reason I ask is that I wonder if it may make the painting look too fragmented / disconnected when leaving it white (something that didn't happen in this one - it's splendid!) Thanks for the wonderful demo. Very appreciated. - Liron

Great stuff Tim, I just found your demos and was about to say that your microphone was clipping (distorting) in the earlier videos,... but just found this one and hey, you've changed cameras or mikes? your audio now is lovely and clear! please keep this setup mate. Many thanks for your paintings . Your comments and methodology make the whole Demo, come alive. I'm learning a lot.... hopefully :)

Masterful and amazingly instructive, as always. My feeling was that the bottom of the stem of boat nr 3 should be more in shadow. BTW those things are 'fenders' not 'defenders'.

That is for the white touches, right? I am currently using Holbein Acryla Guache - Chinese White but it just doesn't give the same result. My paint's consistency is not creamy but somehow smooth and gluey and doesn't spread nicely.

Great job and thank you Tim! I am really enjoying all your demo's as well as the near daily paintings on your website. I love your style. One question: You painted in the background buildings and boats first as opposed to the sky first, as with some of your other demo's. Any reasoning as to what you paint first?

Good question, but I normally do sky first. Not sure this time!

It feels like you have another piece of paper and before you apply a big wash you are testing it out on the other paper.

Yes, although I rarely test on a separate piece of paper. Might be a sponge out to the right.

@davelester1985 4 жыл бұрын

I do not understand how the "finished shot" is so much more intense in color, especially the blue. Did you work on it more after your video? Because to me, it looks almost like a different painting. Your video colors are washed out, in comparison.

Hi Dave. Thanks for watching. Video and end painting were done with different devices and lighting conditions. Painting was photographed in natural light, and is close to original
