How to Capture the Tranquil Beauty of a Tuscan Village with Bridge - Painting Demo

[@bobburke8727]

Your explanation of your planning for your paintings is unmatched by any other artist. From what to add or leave out to final details, I have learned so much I can apply to my own paintings. Like living in your mind for an hour or so!

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks very much Bob. Yes me just rambling on and as you say..my process start to end

[@MrMjp58]

Some painters have a touch and concept of design, balance, colour etc that just hit the spot.

[@TimWilmot]

Takes a bit of practice

[@cocis911]

Amazing painting. Your contrast values are spectacular. I took a photo of the screen on my mobile phone with manual focus set to be blurry, and your painting looks like a photo. Beautiful work and the values and tone really capture a realness and vibrancy which convinces the mind.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks very much for the nice feedback

[@cku235]

Outstanding work Tim - So glad I found you again.

[@TimWilmot]

Well welcome back!

[@johndale895]

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks John and thanks for following all that time

One of your best videos, thank you.

[@TimWilmot]

Glad you think so!

[@lindascoleman220]

Absolutely, a beautiful painting! You have encouraged me to paint sceneries with buildings. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and videos.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Linda

[@jakepeters4370]

This is amazing. Beautiful. Wonderful! Of course you know the four artists on the bridge are painting you.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes of course!

[@ignaciogonzalezigh]

Thank you so mach Mr. Wilmot, your "demos" are very helpful to me sincerely

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks for watching Ignacio

[@scottkc2cad733]

I am just getting back into water color painting after 27 years .And I love this photo. I noticed t he star in the back ground,and have you ever see it up and running at night ?

[@TimWilmot]

Yes

[@sergenoblia8806]

Thank again Tim. It's even more interesting when you put some greenery. I gave it a try...

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Serge and good luck

Thank you very much Tim Wilmot I feel strange and beautiful emotion when I see your artworks❤❤❤❤😗

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Hardy

[@davelester1985]

Watching it a second time, learned a lot. The finished version shows a lot of color that your webcam leaves out. The blue Italian sky is sure different than the British ones, too.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes, different cameras I think

[@mr.k664]

Mr. Wilmot, your videos are very, very helpful. After I saw the results of your mixes in the paper, the W & N Neutral tint became an important player in my palette. Thanks again. Kind Regards

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Kremen and glad it helped

[@IPaintWatercolorashok]

Wow too good result, I like the contrast

[@TimWilmot]

That's what watercolor needs - some big contrasts in values

[@ItSeemsDark]

Yep , i guess you could describe it as medieval since the village was first mentioned in 1076 dc, and today it retains its medieval structure. Beautiful village indeed. Also you are correct about the fortress , it was build in the XII century ... BTW , amazing painting. great job

[@TimWilmot]

Seems like you know this place!

[@TimWilmot]

vous êtes très gentil - Merci

[@jakepeters4370]

I've been looking at your wonderful tutorials. I'm interested in people. Might you demonstrate painting pictures with more defined individuals or portraits?

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Jake. They all tend to be in the landscape. No real close ups. Who knows in the future.... **

[@pralhadpawar6303]

fantastic... Demonstrate !

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Pralhad

[@annabiing2570]

Beautiful, I’ll definitely have an attempt at this! Thank you very much for sharing this! No doubt those painters are painting a wrong side of the scene, 😂

[@TimWilmot]

It's nice there, both sides of the bridge

[@TimWilmot]

Hi Anna it is 15" by 11"

[@tw97com]

Thank you~ Mr. Wilmot

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Tom

[@296victor]

What type of white did you use for the trellis

[@TimWilmot]

White gouache

[@Mollineaux]

Terrific stuff as usual. Many watercolour tutors advise leaving out the 'uglier' bits of modern life, wires/pylons etc but you seem to be able to add in their authenticity without marring the painting. Not easy to achieve.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks very much for watching. I needed the pylon to balance a bit more on the left

[@arlenemurphy804]

Fabulous

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you

[@lucillefemine2339]

You said you cut off the top of the old brush to create the tree effect? Straight across? I will do your Patreon training :)

Great painting. Followed you for a while.. Is you camera over head looking down at the table?? tnx

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks JJ and the camera is right above the picture, about 18" above

[@vixenteegun705]

Tim HELLO...... Happy new year and tks for your demos.. during your painting Italian Tuscan Village at the end you give us some informations about 2018.. you gave us the site.. but i don't understand. in this case it will better you write some infos on the page. shall be able to receive my mail some informations like you gave us after your painting..2018 infos. Sorry for my English writing..

[@TimWilmot]

I am running a week watercolour workshop in Italy. More information is here watermill.net/painting-holidays/painting-holidays-tutor-tim-wilmot18.php Thank you

[@vixenteegun705]

Hello Tim...i think for me it's quite difficult to go in Pisa for a Master Class. I already studied... Arrivals are very strict..so i have to pay taxi return : returning 360 euro...+ 1750 livres sterling etc....too expensive.. just a question.. do you come in France for a Master Class. it will be easier for me to drive in France, instead to go by plane..in PISA...

[@cullenclark]

Does your arm rest on the painting at times? or is it always above

[@TimWilmot]

Always above

[@katemcguiness8254]

1. I loved the shooting star. 2. You went to a lot of trouble to avoid legs. 3. Did anyone paint you from the bridge?

[@TimWilmot]

1. Thanks 2. yes legless 3. no

[@katemcguiness8254]

Oh and Seasons greetings. Thank you for a year of entertainment. I’m really chuffed you can paint so well, as it saves me trying to do it..

[@ahmedhanno3461]

What is the sizes of your brushes? First for the overlay color and second for the details..

[@TimWilmot]

Raphael soft aqua size 6 and 4

[@elenakovaleva3551]

Tell me, please, what kind of white paint are you using?

[@TimWilmot]

Shinhan White Gouache

[@Silkos3136]

Hello, I think you are very very good and I would like to be able to paint like you. I made school of art many years ago,( 1990) but we have learned a lot of drawing but few painting.Then I stop with art 'cause I start to study for become a nurse. Now I'm trying to learn watercolor with your tutorial while I'm not working for make chemoterapy. But it's not easy. Apologize my english, I come from Italy and I want to ask you if you have never look for "Borghi medioevali in Italia". There are many beautiful places that would become beautiful painting with your ability. Most of these are at Liguria on the sea and in the interland, or at Toscana like the subject of your paint, at Umbria and olso in other regions. I want to ask you why don't you paint Lucca square,( the best in my opinion ) or Arezzo and Siena square. There is olso a beautiful place called San Gimignano ( Toscana ) and Poltofino and Porto Venere at Liguria. You can find it with google earth but I think you have to come to see with your eyes!! Finally I want to advise about our Lakes on Nord of Italy, where I live, but maybe you already know all these place, in this case excuse me for all this message. I wish I could see our landscape painted by you, even if I love yours too. Then Congratulation on your talent! Chiara

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you for your long comment and great suggestions for painting subjects. There are many fantastic locations in Italy. I run a weeks painting holiday at the Watermill in Posara in Tuscany in October. I have done a few more videos of locations near here and on the Cinque Terre. I have not been to Lucca, but may go this year!

[@lucillefemine2339]

Does it make a big difference to buy expensive brushes, like your Raphaels? Can't really afford them. Love your work the most.

[@TimWilmot]

The Raphaels are not expensive compared to mop brushes with natural hair. They are 20-30 EUR which I think is reasonable and because they are synthetic hairs, they last longer and retain their point

[@njw1383]

I challenge you to make a video using pen and wash. I know it's not your normal style and is probably out of your comfort zone but that is what would make the video so interesting to watch.

[@TimWilmot]

I used to do pen and wash a long time ago. That's a good suggestion thank you

I didn't like the start at first. Not fond of electrical towers as such. I do think you finished quite well...nice painting.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes. Sometimes painting go through a bad stage and hopefully they come good at the end

[@MrMoykanal]

Thank you Tim,

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks for watching

[@goosecouple]

Problem with me is that I tend to paint one object at a time.

[@TimWilmot]

Nothing wrong with that

[@TooleyPeter]

Tim, please can you tell me why so many watercolorists pronounce foliage (FOL-EE-IJ) as folage (FOL-IJ), dropping the EE syllable in the middle? At first I thought it was a southern American dialect, but it sounds like you pronounce it this way too. Where did this originate? Everyone else I know from the UK pronounces it (FOL-EE-IJ).

[@TimWilmot]

I am not sure about that. I think It pronounce it correctly for the location I live. Thanks for your interesting comment

U r great ~!!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you

[@davelester1985]

I wish I could understand why you don't use tube paints and you don't have to keep scraping and trying to get color out of those tiny holes. It seems like British watercolorists end up with a lighter painting because they cannot get enough paint that way. If you lived in my village I would make you a friend and give you a John Pike box and some tubes of paint. Sorry you don't live in Italy.

[@TimWilmot]

Ah John Pike - what a great artist !!!!!

[@jewellmoebus7976]

Loved the result but presentation was veeerrry slooowww. It seems like u r finding it to talk ata normal speed when u r painting
