My C L O V E S technique for painting waves in watercolor

[@denisestover2416]

Hi! I love your videos! Being a self-taught artist, they help me hear what another artist 'sees' and the process. Your art is beautiful! Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge, process, skills and experience. I started as a watercolorist, but I made my way around to painting on silk. Everything about silk is so similar to watercolor that my "watercolor-thinking" brain is very happy in silk- feeling as though I am still a watercolorist! Lol! I'd love to participate in your monthly painting projects on Patreon, if you wouldn't mind a former watercolor silk painter? Some of my color names are different because I'm using DuPont Silk Dyes, but many are the same. Thanks again! 🙂

Yes you are welcome on Patreon!!

MASTER PAINTER MR. TIM WILMOT..YOUR WATER COLOUR PAINTINGS ARE AWESOME & CAPTIVATING. MUCH MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHS. YOUR PAINTINGS ARE MAGICAL AND ARREST THE ONLOOKERS. YOU ARE IMMORTALISING YOUR PAINTINGS.

Learning tons from following your tutorials Tim, done 4 this week, really pleased with the results. Can’t wait to have a crack at this one tomorrow. I teach graphics and illustration at college but that’s all digital, photoshop, illustrator and after effects…which I love, but, it’s nice to be painting, especially watercolour. I enjoy the differing results which is virtually non existent when working digitally.

[@TimWilmot]

Well a nice change from digital

Looking at the photograph, it definitely looked to be a challenge, with the choppy sea and busy headland, a good work out indeed. I appreciate your explanations of your thinking process and approach to the painting, in which you have captured a lovely, atmosheric interpretation of the scene.Thank you for the demonstration.Loved it

[@TimWilmot]

My pleasure

Hi Tim - thanks for this tutorial - I found your technique and commentary on your brush very useful softening the waters edge reducing the light marks Not getting bogged down in describing each and every building "the most important part of the story is knowing what part to leave out" Herman Charles Bosman - The Road to Mafekeng A careful application of white gouache CLOVE - good one

Beautifull 👌👌....as usual great brush work specially the choppy waves and the head land buildings....I also liked the transition of sky from blue to dark cloudy and again foggy bright.... absolutely marvelous....👍

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you so much 😀

Very grateful for this! Nice work Tim!

[@TimWilmot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@suel4269]

New subscriber! I’m curious if you dab your brush on a towel or something before picking up paint.

[@TimWilmot]

Sometimes a sponge

[@leuvaart4982]

Thank you for this very helpful demonstration! Love your work!

[@doriscastillo80]

beautiful!!!!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rembvanrijn]

Very interesting, Tim. You don’t say whether or not you stretched the paper first. Looks as though you didn’t?

[@TimWilmot]

No never stretch

[@Martamara1253]

Stupendo!

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks

[@mysticriver9420]

Superbe ! ♥️👍

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you

[@mattwj77]

Great painting, and I learned a lot, as I always do. Not so sure about "CLOVES" as a specific method of painting waves though ... when you put it all together, it's kind of like, "you use the techniques of painting." :)

[@TimWilmot]

CLOVES is more of a reminder of key elements to consider

[@carolgehman6036]

What are the 3 colors at the bottom of your palette? Thanks,

[@TimWilmot]

cad yellow , lavender, quinacradone gold

[@NMranchhand]

Just didn’t think it would work. I was wrong. It ended up a forceful and lively representation of the sea.

[@TimWilmot]

Keep at it

[@andrzejbaczkowski8393]

👌

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks

[@firdouschoudhury6401]

Painting looking unsoothing

[@TimWilmot]

Okay
