WHAT to LEAVE OUT in a PAINTING - Watercolor Demo - Mykonos Part 1 of 3

[@rjsongwriter]

I really like how you used the soft edged light areas in the distant hills to show some building details. This helps the detail to blend in better with the distant foliage and not detract from the middle and foreground. Great idea!

[@rjsongwriter]

Also nice job suggesting the pavers. It works nicely!

[@TimWilmot]

Thank you very much Randall!

[@TimWilmot]

Many thanks

A really clear demonstration of how to simplify a detailed photograph, into a watercolour. The finished painting has a sparkle that is so much better than the photograph. Look forward to seeing the next instalments. Thank you Tim

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks David and part 3 due soon

Hi Tim! I always enjoy your tutorials. The pole coming out of the mast is called a boom. At least here in the USA. Thanks!

[@TimWilmot]

Ah yes. I might have said boom. Thanks!

[@johnosborne489]

Tim, really helpful and opened my eyes on how to produce a loose watercolour painrting rather than just try and copy what you see. Will have a go very soon.

Thanks Akira

[@ezequielruiz2488]

Very nice Tim. Perhaps at the middle of left area needs a little bit more definition. Top of the retaining wall.

[@TimWilmot]

Yes, I could have defined the stones a bit more

[@ezequielruiz2488]

[@Lola4Merlin]

greetings from greece! Hope you'll be able to visit again soon (guess you took the picture), after all this pandemia thing. Try Chalkidiki in the North. Love the painting, one question though.. How come you chose not to depict the famous whiteness of the buildings, even in the far? Thanx for your tutorials, I learn so much

[@SeanTWright]

Great demo and explanations of your thought processes, Tim. Thanks for sharing.

[@TimWilmot]

If the far buildings were too white, they would appear nearer, plus I was contra jour

[@satyajitkanjilal3674]

Lovely from 🇮🇳
