Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth
The original work by Turner was painted in oils in 1842, and came under some criticism at the time. I thought that it might be an interesting exercise to have a shot at it in watercolour. Obviously I haven’t been able to get those deep tonal contrasts but a useful exercise nonetheless. This is my copy/interpretation of Turner’s masterpiece, using his stunning vision of a ship in a storm as my inspiration. Original Turner painting housed at Tate Britain. 1/4 imperial on Two Rivers 300lb NOT hand-made paper.
