Learning from Turner
I really enjoyed the back catalogue session on learning from Turner. I’m sharing a watercolour he made in 1805 which I used as a reference to try and learn from his brushstrokes and mark making. Version 1 is when I was looking at the reference. Version 2, was when I worked on the painting further, just going in the right brain.

What an interesting exercise Juli – it seems to me personally that version 2 has a nice loose, atmospheric feeling to it which I like
Thank you, I had really hoped to visit some Turner paintings in real life but in the end I compromised and found a nice reproduction of this beautiful sketch of trees. I really enjoyed trying to do a faithful reproduction. But once I had photographed it I couldn’t resist adding my own marks. I am loving the course
