How to paint a rural scene and composition tips - Watercolor demo by Tim Wilmot #22

[@franciswartelle6057]

Truly inspiring tutorial, amazing to watch and to learn. - You make me feel that I can get there.

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you Francis

[@kyuen222]

I would rather look at his painting than the actual scene. So much atmosphere and depth, but most importantly so free, full of life, and peaceful. Wonderful work! thanks for sharing.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks very much. Yes the depth works well on this one

[@tonydinicola3893]

Tim, I started out in watercolors many decades ago and transitioned to acrylics which I use almost exclusively now. Your style and method of teaching reinspires my watercolor roots and I thank you for that. And thanks for sharing your tips and talents!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you Tony and glad it has made you rethink watercolor

[@Marem-h7g]

This was my first Tim-Wilmot Tutorial!

[@TimWilmot]

An easy one to start with!

[@georgebernard4983]

I like how the simple fence posts and the shadows on the road BRING the whole painting together. Thank you Tim🌹

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you Shawdiane

[@radiantatriatmadja9888]

The simplification and a few changes of the reference photo have made a great painting with much more to enjoy. But of course in the hand of a great artist. Thanks Tim. You are also a great teacher.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks for your kind comments

[@karen2352]

Great, Tim. Clear instruction, good pace. Thanks

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Karen for the feedback

[@else-britjarl9721]

Summer, lovley summer! I long for it! I will try to copy this, you have catched that happy feeling of moving and breathing, smelling - living and walking on a rural sommer road. Such a nice reminder as I watch your tutorial, now in November, actually my 65 years birthday. - those years have reallly flown! Thank you! I will try to copy that feeling of summer that you created in this tutorial. Though - being a Novemberchild, I just love this dark, cosy time of the year. Short days, long evenings, plenty of opportunity to concentrate on learning to paint watercolor! 👍👏❤️

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you and I will have to do a winter scene sometime

[@danielsheldon2521]

Thanks, Tim ~ I've watched several of your demos and have learned from each of them. Dan in SD USA

Thank you Than

[@sairahussain9862]

my first freehand drawn loose painting! My hay bales turned into abandoned utes but I am happy with it. Thanks! Learnt so much.

You are welcome, you are extremely talented and your demos are full of information and skill. Just wish I could paint scenes as you make it look so easy.

Amazing Tutorial. Nobody gives such a great tutorial for free. You are truly a wonderful Artist. You should be famous and rich. 😇😇

[@TimWilmot]

Neither!

[@arthurkoopmanswatercolors]

This painting really started coming together when you started painting the shadows of the hay bales. Then came the horizontal drop shadows on the road. Wonderful! What often bothers me is the straightness of many country paths when I see them in my reference photos. It is nice to see what difference it makes to put a slight curve in the road!

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Arthur. I agree about the shadows and coming together

[@sharonavalos9165]

Wow! This was SO helpful. Appreciate your explaining the thought process and choices. Seems like every time I had a question you were immediately answering it. :) I love how this came out. Thanks for sharing.

[@z.z.1205]

I love it. Very easy and clear explain, no question unanswered. But one thing that is not easy to learn or copy is your loose hand. I think it takes alot of time to learn that.

[@TimWilmot]

It will come with practice. I did a video on tips for loose painting kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKqTo5p3j7F9q68

[@rameshbandekar1557]

Very beautiful. Thank you very much.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Ramesh

[@lucytkmts]

Genuine water painting, thank you. I have realized that my painting is too thick appearing like an oil painting. I should not go with thick colour first so that the shadow can come more clearly later.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes, thicker later

[@crotchet50]

I've just now realized how different Saunders- Waterford is to Arches, as I attempted to copy your painting. In the past I've only had limited success with capturing the light in your paintings, but it's a quantum step easier with S/W. Not sure why yet, but I suspect that it has something to do with difference in sizing...just a theory at the moment. Anyway i'd like to thank you for quiet inspiration.:)

[@pandoraefretum]

I would also like to know the difference between Arches and Saunders.... I see Arches has a more irregular tooth, and that's all I have ever used (apart from some Fabriano) .... maybe I should buy some Saunders and try for myself.

[@mele9627]

Tim, I really love your painting style, the way you capture light. Your videos are just fantastic- and so very educational. Would it be possible for you to do a video on trimming a" foliage brush"? Up close on the edge? Could we see it both wet and dry?

[@TimWilmot]

That's a good idea. Will think about that one

[@MaZEEZaM]

This is great, thanks, and also thank you for not using background music, it makes it far easier to learn without it.

[@TimWilmot]

I never have music, just me. Love the goat!

[@Ann-rg9bt]

Great demo . . . thank you!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you Anne

[@OrtoInScatola]

Love your tutorials... I love the fact that you take the time to comment the entire painting, from the reference image, to the sketch, to the first wash, to the details, without speeding up the video and taking the time to explain your thought process. This is something that is very useful for a beginner like me - almost like having a private lesson with a tutor. Thank you! One question: the first wash is very loose in the way it is applied and is used to establish a base color for each parts of the painting, therefore it seems that you use much more water, letting the strokes overlap and the pigment mix. How do you avoid this in the second layer? Do you use much less water?

[@TimWilmot]

On the second layer, first ensure that painting is 100% dry. Second layer could be darker and thicker

As someone who grew up drawing technical drawings such as house plans and the like, my mind finds it so difficult to comprehend how you can create such abstract and imprecise forms and end up with a wonderful painting. I have had to put it on hold but I was studying Architecture and my tutors were huge fans of abstract form/art and I found those subjects particularly difficult to free my mind in such a way. I think water colour painting could really help with this.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes get loose, but your technical drawing background will really help your street scene paintings

Lovely again. So useful to see your reference photo and how it's been modified. I'd like it to remain on the screen for the entire demo, simply to teach us NOT to try and replicate the greens in photos.

Another beautiful painting. Thank you. In another exchange, you had confirmed using real viridian PG18. What brand is it? Also, do you have difficulty getting deep values with viridian? I love the hue, but I am ready to abandon in favor of PG7 Phthalo Green BS that Winsor & Newton call Viridian HUE. Do you have some advice on this? Much appreciated. Thanks Tim!

how do you keep the paper wet for so long? I use arches 140 lb rough but it still seems to dry very quickly

[@TimWilmot]

It is #Saunders. It just does that. Arches should be similar

[@dalldalton2694]

GREAT DEMO!!!! I love your style, What palette do you use I have chip plastic one looks like yours but I think it's not the same

[@TimWilmot]

It is a Herring one

[@fecarlson]

Would there be a benefit to toning down the white paint highlights? They seem just a bit garish.

[@TimWilmot]

Possibly

[@fecarlson]

@@TimWilmot I enjoy your videos very much, and may join one of your online sessions. The comment about the white paint was made from a beginner, so take with a grain of salt. Just seems the gouche white is whiter than the watecolor paper.
