Description
J.M.W. Turner is one of the most influential and important British artists of all time. His watercolours, with their extraordinary effects of shifting light and dramatic cloudscapes, are especially highly regarded.
How to Paint Like Turner reveals the secrets of his technique for the first time, allowing watercolourists to try them out for themselves. There is an accessible introduction that explores Turner's life and career and the materials he used to achieve the masterpieces we know and love today.
The book then goes on to list the modern materials that the twenty-first-century watercolourist will need if they aspire to take on similar subject matter. Successive chapters examine a particular theme, such as Sky, Water, Trees, Buildings, People, Animals, Sunrise, Moonlight, and Fire, illustrating each with one of Turner's works.
Expert contemporary watercolour artists then explain, step-by-step, how to paint a version of that particular picture and how to use the techniques learnt to paint other compositions.
With a glossary of technical terms, high-quality colour reproductions, and backed by the authority of Tate, the world centre for Turner scholarship, this is a must-buy purchase for all lovers of J.M.W. Turner and of watercolour painting.
