In this demo I will be covering...
1) Why use warms and cools? What are complementary colours?
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. defining the main shapes.
4) Doing the cool sky and the first wash of the warm background buildings and then the foreground.
5) Shadows and details of the buildings.

Tim, thank you so much for this video. I spent the last week trying to figure out warm and cool colors. I couldn’t find any CZcams videos that explained WHY they were using certain colors or mixes. Your explanation for this demo was great and much appreciated! 😊
Glad it was helpful Eliza
Dear Mr. Wilmot,
I like your painting, your quiet ability to explain while painting, your style, your choice of themes for painting demos...
in fact, I look forward every day to see what you offer, and take notes and try to emulate your work.
I laugh when I see some of the things that you probably do subconsciously, you show your liking of cars 🚘, like a boy... and therefore you include them in ninety eight percent of your vignettes, whether we are in downtown Rome , just in front of the Coliseum, or peeping from behind a sand dune where the sign says :
“camels🐪 have right of way”,
somewhere in the Sahara!!! Hahaha!
please forgive me, I’m 84 years old, if I seem to be a little forward in my comments, but think of me as an old aunt speaking...a little out of bounds but with sincere admiration!
I was born in what then was Northern Italy before World War II, and because of it I have been rolling around the world 🌎, literally, from Europe to almost the tip of Patagonia , for one year, when my father won a bid to install the cement poles that carry the cables for the electricity
Unfortunately I pushed the wrong button and it got published before my message was finished!
As I was saying, I love the way you teach, so clearly and to the point...and I have experienced teachers from Europe,Patagonia and all the way up to California, so, if you pardon the pun,
I speak from experience!
I give up!
But I love ❤️ you!
Bye 👋 👋👋❗️
Thank you for your lovely story. Thanks for watching. I hope to be in Italy soon!
You do!
👍😄
Another Great Tutorial!! Your Tutorials have encouraged me to better drawing.
Happy to hear that!
Thank you for this. Seriously. Your contributions here on CZcams have greatly influenced me to try new things and more importantly helped keep me comfortable committed to this most enchanting medium :D
Thank you and glad they have helped
Hi Tim. I am a begginer in this difficult world of watercolor and I must say that you are the best artist I have following on youtube Chanel. I 'm Spanish and I prefer your clases before other spanish painters do. The language is not a problem for me. Your pronounciation is very clear an your explications too. Thank you so much and congratulations again.☺
Have you tried selecting the subtitle option on CZcams? It should translate pretty well for you
@@TimWilmot Yes Tim, I allways do it. Thank you. An other great work in progress??☺
Tim wilmot est un grand enseignant de l'aquarelle . Sa technique est sensationnelle et j'adore son travail !
Merci beaucoup
Your talent is amazing! So far am finding doing water color the hardest medium & my paint is chalky to touch, literally flakes fly off the pallet once paint has dried so maybe reason (one) that mine look flat & seems the paint only sits on top of the paper (if that makes sense) but on a very tight budget so one day might be able to get some not chalky! Ty for these videos ❤!
Thanks Paula, get the best quality paint you can afford and keep the paint moist when not using
you are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Irina

Could you tell us what your travel easel is? It looks really well-designed, but Google searches have not produced anything similar, so far.
A camera tripod with a fixing on top to secure a lightweight board. I use Corex.
@@TimWilmot And your magic shelf?
Cracking painting and guidance, as always. To my eye, the painting was more or less done at the 40 minute mark, with too much detail thereafter. But of course, each to his own.
Yes. Knowing when to stop is important in any painting, especially in watercolour. But I love using that little brush at the moment.
Why do you need only one (counting yellow ochre) two yellows? Would you use more if you would paint more trees, grass etc?
Z. Z. I suppose they are the colours he was using for this picture and hence only yellow ochre
You need only one yellow in my opinion. You can mix many shades of green with a yellow and a yellow ochre
Thx alot
Que lápiz usa usted en los dibujos ? 2B quizás?? Saludos.

@@TimWilmot thanks!
Which paper sir ?
Saunders Waterford Cold Press 300 gms #stcmill
amazing
Thank you
The eyes and hands are separated.That's why I'm sad..😂
Sorry to hear that
There’s nothing with having muddy colours in your paintings as long as they are intentional
I try hard
Good but Very heavy for water colour, this is more like an oil painting
Yes. It is just my style.
Your finger smurging and thick dark brush strokes which looks like Chinese caligraphy , are very unique . Your tonality is great, but your shapes are very unclear in this work.
Thanks for the feedback
@@TimWilmot sorry Tim, it took me a couple of your vedios to recognise the abstract style in your shapes and forms.
Good tutorial, but , for me, not one of your usual beautiful watercolurs.
Thanks Vi. Sorry
