In this demo I will be covering...
1) Choice of Subject. What makes a good watercolor subject. How to simplify the scene.
2) Materials I use such as the paper. I will also cover the paints I use and the palette, plus how I hold the different brushes for different techniques.
3) Doing the outline sketch as the first step. How to draw figures and the market stalls and the buildings. Thinking about perspective as well.
4) Doing the sky and the first wash of the background and then the foreground.
5) Shadows and details of the market stalls and figures. Getting extra tonal values into the painting.
6) Watch out for summary at the end where I cover the main points of this tutorial.

Tim, by following your videos, for the first time I feel like I'm REALLY painting in watercolor! Your explanations of the steps, the principles, and the technique, as well as your easy-to-follow demonstrations, have pulled it all together for me. I can't thank you enough!

[@TimWilmot]

You are very welcome

[@gabd.5299]

Thank you for all the tutorial videos! The painting is amazing and the video is informative. Your particular style of handling the brush, and the colors, is so inspiring! I've learned so much over the year at how to look at things, how to make certain effects, i just cannot thank you enough!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you Gab and glad they helped

The painting of windows at 32.00 min is very easy for you to create. I tried to follow your style on my paint and it ended up with ugly finish. Thank you so much for showing me again how to paint the windows. Great shadow!

I would love to know what water colour easel you would recommend as although I have one it is no where near study enough. I’d love one with a back pack but they only seem available in the states. Another great tutorial.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes I think you are correct - most in US. Mine is home made. Frank Herring sell one in the UK?

[@vishalbhaskar8554]

Welcome

It's pronounced 'Casti-yon' by the way. Interesting that you didn't use the vibrancy of the rather abundant complementary colours in the photo but instead, emphasized the cool values.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks. I was not sure how KZbin speech to text would interpret that.

Why do you have so many fotos from France?
