Today is the last day of the JMW Turner exhibition at Cotehele House. 12-4.

While stewarding last week I talked with Iain, another DttV artist. We talked about both having an initial reticence to get going on the Turner project. But after several months at it, we both wondered if we would ever fully give up some of the things we have learnt by using the techniques of JMW Turner. As mentioned in another blog, conversations like this are invaluable.

I didn’t expect to be back with Mr Turner quite so quickly but yesterday evening nature created a Turneresque sun in the early evening at Mountbatten.

Three quick and ‘bad’ photographs later and I have the beginning of one of my ‘ Turner ‘ images. Just some pencil sketching and a watercolour layer to add.

Last day, get there if you can.
