Can't tell you how much I enjoy these real time, plein air demos......... by far the most enjoyable of your wonderful and informative videos. Your calligraphic marks in this one are fresh and exciting, Thanks Tim!
Very artist. You nailed the 2/3 1/3 design so well. Painting in the heat when you are used to wet conditions and humidity is a challenge. You did good. ciao
Wow, so many gorgeous elements to this scene..i like your choice. I might have pushed the contrast and painted the bridge quite darker and dropped in some bold color to the wash for interest. But let's be realistic, I'm an amature and don't have your experience. It might have been too much of a struggle for a focal point. I'm really loving how active you've been on YT lately. This has been amazing!
the right side has that round coorway, a perfect focal point. the left side has a steeple too far to the left, messing up what would be its own focal point without the bridge. The bridge directs the viewer right into the painting... Now I wait to see how you will create. This is a good start for people to think...and .. ha ha they do need practice in this.
Really enjoyed this one Tim. Beautiful spot. I saw at least 4 painting possibilities at the start. You mentioned your easel towards the end, because of the wind. You never actually show us your easels and why you chose them. More information on that please Tim.
I mainly use, neutral tint, burnt sienna, yellow ochre, viridian green, spring green (or a bright green!), cobalt green, cerulean blue, cobalt blue, ultramarine blue, lavender, alizarin crimson, cadmium red, light red and a cadmium yellow, white paint for highlights
Hi Jerome, When painting plein air, you'll find that a fast flowing river breaks up the reflections so much that they become almost indistinct, an effect you don't see in a still photo. Hope this helps. Keep painting, and keep smiling. :)

Glad you like them!
Lovely, fresh treatment of a beautiful scene.
Merci
Absolutely amazing!!
Thanks. Left or right?
Good afternoon! Tim ! Nice !
Thanks 😊
Dear Mr. Wilmot, thank you for your videos and your art, from Argentina
You are very welcome Jose
Very artist. You nailed the 2/3 1/3 design so well. Painting in the heat when you are used to wet conditions and humidity is a challenge. You did good. ciao
Thank you! Cheers! It was windy, warm and dry!!!
Nice job, Tim. You made a lot out of the scene and used your knowledge of watercolour to make it a ‘painting’.
Thank you very much!
It's very pretty. I also caught the figure and reflection making a line together. You have a wonderful way with the medium.
Thank you so much!
En plein air is a big challenge to amateur. But I really enjoy your composition, colors, edges…. Artist creates fantasy world.
Thanks Lillian
I think I would go with the first option. The bridge seems like it's saying "this way to church"
Now that's the way to think Peter. :)
Yes great idea
In my opinion the first one have more activity in the water and the bridge stand more attractive!
Good point
Love it! Well done!
Thanks so much!
I chose the side you painted. I like the houses and I felt they were more interesting.
Thanks for voting
Amazing work!
Thanks Peter

You make some great suggestions there Morgen and I like the dark bridge idea
the right side has that round coorway, a perfect focal point. the left side has a steeple too far to the left, messing up what would be its own focal point without the bridge. The bridge directs the viewer right into the painting... Now I wait to see how you will create. This is a good start for people to think...and .. ha ha they do need practice in this.
Thanks Dave and good comments

I will try and show in a future video. Great idea.
@@TimWilmot Thanks Tim. I look forward to that one.
I might have moved the steeple to the right side. Just for a more interesting silhouette. But I love what you've painted regardless.
Great idea!
Fantastic! What hues did you use may I ask?
I mainly use, neutral tint, burnt sienna, yellow ochre, viridian green, spring green (or a bright green!), cobalt green, cerulean blue, cobalt blue, ultramarine blue, lavender, alizarin crimson, cadmium red, light red and a cadmium yellow, white paint for highlights
@@TimWilmot Thank you so much. You are such amazing artist and I love how you help us see the beauty in spaces. Mahalo nui loa!
Hi, this is very nice bravo, but being an amateur, I don't understand why the houses are not reflected in the water... Thanks!
It was windy and fast flowing river!
@@TimWilmot Thank you very much for your reply!

Yo hubiera puesto una sombra en diagonal en las columnas del puente...
Es una humilde opinión, entiendo el contraste entre la luz de las casas del fondo y la sombra del puente
Good idea!
why don't you paint with oil paints?
I want to just concentrate on watercolour
don' t you paint the value study before painting?
Very rarely. Just go for it
