EASY WATERCOLOR - Street Scene Painting by Tim Wilmot

[@simpleshoes]

I always love how you analyze the photo and explain why it will make a good painting. I often replay that bit a couple of times before proceeding with the video. For me, this has been the invaluable bit and I could watch you analyze and break down the view all day.

[@TimWilmot]

I should just do a video of photos and describe how I would personally do them....

[@ayaanlandyn6790]

You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I would love any help you can give me

[@imranedward5873]

@Ayaan Landyn instablaster :)

[@ayaanlandyn6790]

@Imran Edward i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@ayaanlandyn6790]

@Imran Edward it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

Among the finest watercolor instruction on the Internet. Great watercolor results and how to obtain them! Thank you.

[@TimWilmot]

Wow, thank you!

[@justinforrest1613]

I can only imagine as someone who produces content that you must think people get sick of hearing similar phrases or terminology. I personally love the soothing nature of this channel, Ive been watching it since you started and I still love hearing the type of paper and weight. Its almost like intro music. I wonder if others can chime in to say if they agree. You should narrate nature documentaries

If David Attenborough ever retires, I might step in!

[@andykei34]

Clitheroe!!!!!! I love the town - used to go there quite often! thanks for bringing back lovely memories! brilliant painting as usual Tim!

Thanks Ellen

[@cainp.3232]

Always a pleasure to see your videos show up in my feed! I really enjoy the process discussion and auto- critique you do in these demos. The workshop submission critiques are a rich minefield of insight too. Thanks, Mr. WIlmot.

[@TimWilmot]

I appreciate that!

[@wallabybob3020]

Well that’s my Sunday sorted. Thanks Tim! 👍🏻

[@TimWilmot]

Enjoy!

[@denisefalbo791]

Tim, you sometimes say that the color is not important, but I'm always impressed by the way you make the colors in a scene more varied and interesting than the photograph. Thank you for your lessons!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@binujacob8794]

Dear Master......Thanks a lot. It is a pleasure to watch you painting and happy to hear your words.....Really enjoyed ....What a feel....Light and shade plays freely in the painting......

[@TimWilmot]

So nice of you

[@umadebnath5093]

I am sure sir that you know certain fine tricks. When my father chose a painter for teaching me i never learnt anything else of painting then i saw in a you tube lots of painters drawing i take proper learning from it.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes there are lots of styles to learn from

[@pareshpancholi4251]

Lovely painting!!

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Pierre

[@MrPeterjba]

You deserve it. I get mesmerised watching you paint, wondering what the hell you will do with this mess, then you pull it into a beautiful painting, and I think “wait a minute, how did he do that!” And have to watch it again…

It's a pleasure to see you paint and I don't know anyone who paints better light and shadows than you. Thank you

Hi Tim. Yes, it is a one-way street. The old streets in the centre were designed for horse traffic, not cars. So nice to see a 'local' scene.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Peter. It was a lovely sunny day when I visited. Nice place to live

Great work! Very inspirational! During the process of sketching and colouring, it would be better to show the images again from time to time, to see how you make the transition from what you see in image and what you actually draw and paint on the paper.

[@TimWilmot]

Great suggestion!

[@cherirose6660]

Fabulous watercolor ! It’s so cool the way you use your smaller brush, almost like a pencil when you paint with a certain flow. I definitely will give that a try. Would you please give me the website of your workshops....couldn’t quite understand when you announced it as you were painting. Thank you again for this awesome tutorial. I will check out your Patreon page! 😀✌️

Looks really good. Watercolor is my favorite. I like the way it looks. I'm just not very good at it. I need to stop trying to make everything perfect.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes exactly. Keep it fresh

[@Elaine-tk7nx]

It's a great tutorial and love watching the process of building up layers, but you don't say which colours you use from the start as you're mixing and applying them which would be instructive. Thanks. A beautiful and inspiring result!

[@TimWilmot]

I mention them at the beginning

[@brucenunn3268]

I Absolutely Love this Lesson. What wld you recommend to watch as a Intermediate Watercolor Painter.? Someone that knows the Basics but still has trouble getting to a Nice Final watercolor Painting..?

If it is a street scene - more complicated architecture. Maybe Venice??

[@sahithia1379]

I wish we could see the photo reference while you were painting.

[@TimWilmot]

Easy! To see the source photo, just open another tab on your browser or window (or open video on another device like your mobile) and pause in the opening minutes where I show the source photo. I also share the photos in high resolution on my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/timwilmot. Thank you

[@janetcatmull268]

Thanks for this demo, Tim! It's excellent as usual. Have you completely eliminated greens from your pallette? I've noticed Sap Green is really difficult to layer with other colors on the paper, so I'm considering eliminating it.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes, I would not bother with sap green. Mixing a viridian with burnt umber is nice, or cobalt green with yellow ochre, or any yellow and any blue, 50/50 gives a vibrant green

[@marypainter9634]

Hi Tim, Which colours do you use in the main? How often do you add water to the paper to soften the edges of your colour mixing? Many thanks and I enjoy watching you at work. Clitheroe is a lovely market town on the edge of the Ribble Valley.

[@TimWilmot]

The colours are described at the beginning of the video. I don't often add water to the edges

[@user-dh5jq8nk5w]

Хорошая игра на контрастах.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks

[@afaelnar]

Beautiful. Very educational. I have a question please. How do you know which paints are opaque and which are transparent?

[@TimWilmot]

Opaque to me are 'thicker'. I call them 'chalky'.

[@sarabedolla9644]

Hello, can you please tell me some tips on how to choose the color for the shadows? Sometimes I make them too light, or too dark.

Go in bold and don't make them grey or black

[@emilyadams6194]

I love your very loose, very suggestive painting style. But my eye is always distracted by the extremely short, often partially missing lower limbos of the figures. The upper bodies are very quick and suggestive and then they are cut off at the knee. Why is that?

[@TimWilmot]

I think it gives a sense of movement

[@kaixined]

I love the videos you make! Great explanation even with the original photograph - I find myself don’t observe enough to start paint. Also, what is the white paint you used at the end? I tried a few brands but they are not white enough :(

[@TimWilmot]

White gouache, fresh out of the tube

Do you start with fresh paint in your palette, or do you just wet what you had sitting there? Getting the right pigment/water mix is my biggest challenge.

I used what was there and just add a little water normally

Why not just project the photo (there are various ways) directly onto the paper and trace it off? You've made half the painting into a drawing exercise. Maybe it's just the commercial artist in me...
