My apologies if I’ve shared this one before, might have been last year!

Excellent colour and style.

Excellent work Alan. I think when you look at some of Turners work you think it looks easy to do, that’s until you try doing it anything like his. Both he and you make it look so simple my feeble, attempt when I starts to paint was a soggy mess .

A super piece of work Alan.

Love the drama and contrasts - and so interesting to delve into Turner's method of painting, and his way of working.

A beautiful result Alan - so well drawn too.

Another image that I’ve created using components from a Turner sketch. I’m delving into how he produced these watercolour sketches in greater detail, trying to understand his working methods, paints and papers etc, not simply an attempt to copy from his work. For a feature in TA July edition. Watercolour and gouache on Turner Grey handmade paper 11x15in
