The alluring picture above is a still from Tim Wilmot’s latest video, on outdoor painting, and it features the River Rosaro as it babbles peacefully past the Watermill. As Tim says: “A lovely scene, very peaceful. I am at the Watermill: lovely painting holidays there.â€
You can check out the whole of Tim’s video at https://youtu.be/2DlkkcCdZTs. Here’s another still, showing Tim’s painting almost finished:

Tim will be back with us at the Watermill next October and we’d love you to join him and see the beautiful River Rosaro – and a thousand other wonderful scenes just begging to be painted. Tim’s 2023 painting week is currently fully booked, but there are often cancellations, so if you would like to come, please get in touch via the Watermill Contact Form by clicking here.
