A stunning piece, Alan. You've captured the majestic scale of the place, and the interaction between the warm and cool hues is so very effective and attractive.

I’m currently working on a feature for TA based around JMW Turner’s watercolour sketch books - I’ll be discussing how he approached his plein air watercolours, delving into his working methods, paints/palette and his tinted papers etc. I’ll be working from a selection of his sketches that particularly inspire me - these aren’t intended as accurate depictions/copies in any way, but my take on the subject.
