Landscape in the style of turner by Michael Hanrahan

Comments

Like this a lot Michael, superb colours, why not copy the master so much to learn from his work, I’m looking forward to seeing some of your pieces.

Thankyou paul and yes I agree with you. I enjoy painting ( when it goes according to plan haha ) and to be honest I dont think ive made enough copies of various masters, its the best way to learn. I was full of admiration for a youtube artist who devoted many years to copying even though people told him it was time to do his own thing. I for one admired him.

Great Turner style painting, excellent colours.

Some excellent Turner inspired passages in this piece…well done!

You've caught light - as you so often do. Not sure I'd dare to try copying Turner - I don't think I could reach that high: but you're obviously a braver man than I am.

Lovely painting Michael.

You've certainly got the style here Michael.

Beautiful

It's Turneresque but with a difference, really good Michael

I might aswell give it that title. I merely intended to paint a landscape to the best of my ability but yet again that old devil is there. I often try things which might detract from the turner look but usually in vain. It doesn't matter. Maybe I ought to do some actual copies of some his work. I cant remember doing that.

About the Artist
Michael Hanrahan

I love art but it's very much up and down as I go about my day to day life as a painter and often I really struggle to paint therefore I fall out with it. You're only as good as your last painting as they say. My greatest love is music and I prefer to write classical music for orchestra than paint…
