Watercolour Demonstration - How to Paint a Country Scene with House, Trees and People #1

[@GoogleUser-it3xq]

Superb watercolor demonstration, Tim! This is the most perfect, most beautiful watercolor painting I've ever seen. Yes, right up there with Sargent but better. Traveling around the painting is a joy. Everywhere I look the colors are striking and the objects are interesting.The painting grabs your attention and won't let go. Looking at it here on my MacBook Air the colors look dull but on my 55" Vizio TV they are absolutely gorgeous. Maybe it's because this Mac is several years old. Keep up the great work! I love watching your KZbin videos.

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you so much for your kind comments. To be compared with Sergeant I'm very honoured. Glad the colours looked ok considering this was shot on a low resolution budget camera. Thanks again for your kind comments.

[@pamdenman254]

You took that photograph from an ordinary scene to a very fluid, warm painting with lots of texture and movement, without overdoing it. Loved watching you work!

[@TimWilmot]

+Pam Denman Thanks Pam

[@dragonfly6200]

Quite simply the best instructional videos on youtube! Thankyou Tim :)

[@btpetro]

This is the second video that I've watched of yours and it was even better than the first. Your commentary on just about every aspect was clear and has made me a better artist. Thanks.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Bruce. This is a very old video now...

[@sandollarstudio803]

Hi Tim,This is well done, I do not think you need to change a thing. The angles where great, the content superb, a real great lesson. I hope you continue this format. Thank you so very much for sharing your art !

[@jacksondasi3166]

I love you way to explain the exercises demonstration and many times I review your videos trying learning the color palette, how you use diferents pencils, how you simplify the sketches. I’d love had a teacher like you here in my town. Congratulations. Sorry by my English.

[@TimWilmot]

You are so welcome! English is perfect!

[@annecremer235]

Thank you for being so generous with your time and expertise. It's very helpful for those of us who are beginners to see a painting from beginning to end.

[@TimWilmot]

Anne Cremer Thank you Anne

[@engelinasimmons4686]

Have watched this demonstration before ... after watching again I am inspired to paint again as this is the style in which I Love to paint thank you.

[@TimWilmot]

+Engelina Simmons Thanks Engelina and good luck

[@joeaccordion]

I keep coming back to your videos as they are probably the very best on you tube. Thank you for sharing your talent and experience.

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you Joe

[@jetteroheller6395]

Tim, I love your work and I was usually drawn to ultra detail paintings, however your paintings allow for the viewer to fill in the details with one's imagination! I am constantly pulled into your paintings. Love your videos that help people who wish to create with watercolor! Keep painting and helping people to create. You are an amazing artist!

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks very much jerald

[@rabanoscuro]

Hi Tim. thanks for that interesting video. I've just made a painting of your painting, following your technique. And it's quite interesting, it shows that your method and patience through this video was a good way to go. Thank you.

[@sinfalacias2009]

Tim, thank you very much for teaching me to paint. Muchas gracias Tim, te he seguido paso a paso y por fin he logrado hacer algo mas o menos presentable, voy a seguir practicando y viendo tus videos. Eres un gran maestro. You are a great teacher.

[@TimWilmot]

+sinfalacias2009 Muchos gracias

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Grant

[@louisemissouri4410]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your demonstration from USA Florida. There is nothing I would change of what your doing in presenting them. Sound, viewing angle and such are very nice. Being able to see how you move your hands is fascinating to watch. Love the use of white for the highlighting and your voice is calming and pleasant. Thank you and I look forward to seeing whatever you share next.

[@TimWilmot]

Louise Florida Thank you Louise for your feedback

Tim, I am really enjoying your painting tutorial. I M A SELF TAUGHT PAINTER AND ALWAYS BEEN hesitant of embarking on watercolor. Today I have seen three of your paintings and will start practicing so many areas I was doing the wrong way. Thank you, Sir! I have already subscribed to your channel.

[@Татьяна-ф3щ7у]

Thank you! I painted with you and I like very much the result

[@TimWilmot]

Wonderful!

[@robertwhathisname5676]

I'm starting out and watched it all, it was interesting how you paint , for awhile I thought this was not going to be much good to me, but once you had got mid way I saw how you were working it. The video is great, sound fine, picture quality good, the actual video in all was great. Thanks.

[@zaviolyn]

Hi Tim. I found your watercolor demonstration today and followed along...3 + years late. I've been following Andrew Geeson for the last year and a half and feel ready to venture out into more landscapes and architecture paintings. Andrew appreciates the loose style of watercolor as well. Thank you for an excellent lesson.

[@TimWilmot]

Glad you liked it Susan and thank you. Plenty of more videos on my channel to watch. If you fancy a go yourself, why not consider being a Patron via my Patreon site? For a small pledge I set regular painting projects and you get a video critique back from me in return. More info at www.patreon.com/timwilmot . Thanks again.

[@capbin146]

[@jackdaniel3203]

thank you so much for sharing, really appreciate you mentioning perspective and the horizon. you are a great teacher

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Jack

[@jbow68]

Superb instruction! I followed along, really loosened me up. Thanks to you, I'm realizing it's probably going to always be kind of scary at the start for a realist like me. But I persevered with you and enjoyed painting much more than usual. I can't thank you enough.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Jane and glad it was helpful

[@plmrmier]

Loved to paint along with you. Thanks so much for sharing.

Tim...your videos are the BESTTTT always !!! couldnt be better really zero problems THANKSSS

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you Cecilia and for the feedback !

[@ceciliapaz8188]

Tim Wilmot Dear Tim, I would be really happy if you can be so kind to explain me how could/can I dialogue with you when I have doubts about some specific issue.. or general questions for example just to put one ..what happens when we by accident go over some area with a colour and it ruins our first idea? I know that for a while we can quickly lift paint, but it never stays really clean ... Also noticed that you haven't left whites .. I find it very difficult to leave unpainted areas - because how can we paint freely and quickly stopping to leave white? And when you give a second layer? How is this possible? Too many questions jjjjaa sorry Your watercolour style is my favorite.. that's why I am asking so much 😊👍👏🏻 thank you so so much !!!

[@ceciliapaz8188]

Tim Wilmot When you say "neutral" what do you mean? Can it mean that it is just that colour with no other mixes ?

[@ceciliapaz8188]

Tim Wilmot last one for today ... What colour is used by you for those final lines Tim? Is it any mixture of the leftovers of you palet?? Thank you !!!

[@gben5689]

Just found this video - what a good guide, very good for me that just started learning watercolor ! Regards from Iceland :)

[@TimWilmot]

Good luck on your watercolour journey

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks and good luck

[@dodiburnett9964]

Wonderful Tim. My wife and I watch you regularly from Australia, not live though. I missed your palette being visible on this one. Thanks so much for publishing your work.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks DoDi. This is an earlier video and did not feature the palette

[@lizaivonepatinotriana9972]

Beautiful. You are an excellent artist. Greetings from Colombia

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you Liza

[@ssagnikdeyy8617]

I found this demonstration very useful as bushy over growth was something I could not create.now I believe that I had decoded the mystery of it.

[@TimWilmot]

Glad I could help

[@aliciashackley5830]

Thx for this demo. It’s beautiful. 🥰

[@TimWilmot]

You’re welcome 😊

[@ericmcgaw7215]

I found you on utube, and just love your work. Love the way you do the underpainting and make the focus come to light with very darks. Also learned a lot about using the limited palette to get unity. Certainly learned a lot. Fiona

[@TimWilmot]

Eric McGaw Thank you

[@Davesrayner1]

Thank you for sharing this Tim! I can't for the life of me understand why there are any dislikes for this?? I love it and cant wait to try it!! Thanks again

[@TimWilmot]

Yes strange. I post and literally with a minute I get dislikes...then they sort of stop. Strange

[@TLowens]

Please continue to post more. Loved it.

[@TimWilmot]

Tamala Owens Thanks Tamala

[@mikegee118]

Another super demo. Thank you for posting this, Tim!

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Mike

[@pharanaiarts1068]

Look simple but VERY powerful watercolor paint! Great!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you

[@nbcclaytor]

Excellent video and enjoyed use of shadows and not too many colors

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks for the feedback

[@JosephCator]

Howdy Tim, I watched your Live demonstration yesterday, and again this morning on KZbin. I really enjoyed it. I think the whole presentation worked out really well-- sound quality and video both very good. I'm glad you posted it to KZbin, give me change to 'rewind' and watch certain segments again. I love your brush work.

[@lawrencecollins7313]

I enjoyed your demo and found it very useful. I am quite badly colour blind and although I see many colours, I don't see them all and have to use a well-labelled paint box so it would be most useful if you told what you are using and mixing. But it was a lot of fun. Thank you.

[@2013democracy]

Really good demo, l would love to see more. As you asked for comments, little bit of glare on the figures and l would like to know more about your colour mixing.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks, will do!

[@debbecooper104]

Amazing technique....I've learned some things!!!!

[@TimWilmot]

Great to hear!

[@RoutCreations]

Its a great demo....it will be very helpful for me to learn watercolor landscape painting....thank you sir

[@rosemaryclark610]

Others whom I watch, for your information, since you asked, are Larry Hamilton, Alan Owen, Karen Ilari (acrylics), Steven Cronin, Keith Whitelock, Tim Gagnon, Frank Francese, etc. Hope that's helpful. Your KZbin came through great! Although, at the time I've sent this post through, I haven't watched all of it yet. Seems to be working though! Thank you for providing these lessons. I appreciate it, as I'm sure others do as well. Some of these teachers provide the reference photo as part of the video, as an inset, but I don't know how they do it. Thanks again. I'm looking forward to trying some of your lessons!

[@TimWilmot]

Rosemary Clark Thank you Rosemary for the feedback

[@TimWilmot]

Rosemary Clark Thank you Rosemary for the feedback

[@rosemaryclark610]

Tim Wilmot you're welcome!

[@ianbarnes1406]

Only just seen this. Really nice painting Tim. I must admit that around the 23 minute mark when you'd finished the 'under-painting' I was thinking to myself that if it had been my painting I would probably have put it in the bin! But I find that great artists like yourself have a way of turning things around and ending up with something far better than was expected initially!!😁

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Ian! That video is quite old now and was done live online with attendees...

[@mattval9097]

Great video lesson. very well done. I learned a lot. Thx

[@TimWilmot]

***** Thank you Matt

[@bedlam1954]

Great demo's on youtube, makes me want to do some more of my own. Love your work, and we share lots of the same influences. Cheers for now Martin aka artstevo, Sozopol Bulgaria.

Im in Australia and have just found you absolutely wonderful and yes I agree Wesson-ish and he is one of my fav artists I love his style and now yours too I thoroughly enjoyed this demo I love your quiet moments gives me a chance to digest what you've just done and time for me to do a visual autopsy on the whole piece to date - thanks again it was fantastic Ill now be watching all your others - great job have a great day - do you do flowers at all Id be interested to see how you approach flowers :)

[@TimWilmot]

+Leona Fraser Thank you. Sorry I do not do botanical stuff. Just landscapes

[@keithpayne4143]

I really enjoyed this wonderful demo, thanks Tim 👍🏻

[@johnevitts9433]

very interesting to see how you work BUT it would be very helpful if you explained your mixes and the colours you use in them.

[@stringman63]

nice work love the love your loose style

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you!

[@iCEL55]

What a wonderful painting...similar in style as KIERON WILLIAMSON.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks. Don't know who he is but I will look him up

[@iCEL55]

He already sold more than a million dollars worth of paintings worldwide and I believe he is only 11 yrs old.

[@owingsart]

Hi Tim Wilmot - Did not know you were on KZbin, but looked you up. Still love the painting I bought from you and really appreciate the demo here. All the best - Marty Owings

[@TimWilmot]

Owings Art Thank you Marty

[@TimWilmot]

Owings Art Thank you Marty

[@lisarnful]

I just wanted to add that the picture quality was wonderful. My only suggestion would be more of a request. I would have liked you to say what colors you were mixing. Probably because I am a beginner. I would imagine more experienced painters would "figure it out" on their own. I enjoyed the muted, natural palette and would like to make connections. Thanks again!

[@TimWilmot]

+lisarnful Thank you for the suggestion and I show my palette and mixing in later videos

[@viviankunkel4784]

There is room on the right to see the pallet as you mix please!thank you so much!

[@vima8680]

I enjoyed the painting process and of course the finished painting, but a suggestion: improve on the video production. Thank you.

[@nitac1713]

Enjoyed the presentation

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Nita

[@andreanimireille3718]

merci pour cette belle leçon d'aquarelle ! en plus on apprend l'anglais !

[@TimWilmot]

Merci. J'espère que vous me comprends

[@randicommand2453]

I know it has been a while, but i just watched this. Since you asked, I'd like to see the camera white balance, and the exposure, set on manual, so the picture doesn't flicker when you move or reach across the view.

[@TimWilmot]

+Randi Command Thanks for the feedback!

[@gy0215p]

Great video; thank you! Now quit that day job and get painting! We out here could use a lot more demos like these. Bravo! - from Reston, VA, USA

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you Regina

[@carolgrentzel1430]

Great demo. You mentioned that you would call this a watercolor sketch, rather than a painting. Why? Looks like a painting to me, and a beautiful one at that. What, in your mind, is the difference? Thank you so much.

[@TimWilmot]

I guess a sketch is a quick painting in my mind

[@cvoss53]

I really enjoyed your video. Your commentary was a bit like your painting - light spots with areas of more intensity. I found it quite pleasant. Thanks

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Charlie

[@genemccarthy2847]

It would be helpful to show the consistency of the paint mixtures and the amount of water used. Thanks from Sedona Arizona, USA

[@TimWilmot]

Great suggestion!

[@neilcollins3701]

Really helpful. My pictures are too tightly drawn and controlled than I would wish. This loose style is what I want to achieve and the step by step guide in real time is so much better than some which seem to jump about. Also interested to see you do not soak all the paper first. You have put me on the right track. Neil

[@TimWilmot]

Neil Collins Thanks Neil

[@byalfredis]

Thank you Tim, nice work

[@TimWilmot]

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks for watching!

[@lanajurgens3611]

love to watch you... sound and color was great...I'd like to know what colors are used in some instances...like the color of the building and roof as you paint them

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Lana for your suggestions. Roof is close to a Light Red I think

[@hectorcalvillo3102]

sorry, sorry ... i did put on the video foward, and foward and i liked how light shadows came thru..the .... i`m impressed of your way..please be my watercolor painting master...keep on sending videos with a lot of light-dark style ( i admire Rembrant).. my regards

[@TimWilmot]

Will do Hector. That video is an earlier one

[@rathbovor]

Tim you are a master!

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Rath

[@Magic65750]

Also, I would love to see the reference photo as you paint.

[@TimWilmot]

To see the source photo, just open another tab on your browser or window and pause in the opening minutes where I show the source photo. Thank you Chris

[@darcyp1668]

Remarkable. So many good decisions were made. I'm not sure how dry an area should be before you painted over it?

[@TimWilmot]

Normally very dry

[@Wowneat]

This was great! Good video,

[@TimWilmot]

[@marynelson1349]

Thanks,learn alot from you.

[@TimWilmot]

[@PegiBruno]

I'm so happy to watch this video, being from Russia would make it very hard for me to come and watch you paint in real life!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you PegiBruno
