Showing at the Eric Morecambe Centre… “As if by Magic”: the Secrets of Turner’s Watercolour Techniques
J.M.W. Turner was arguably the greatest practitioner in watercolour the world has ever seen and his achievements still represent the benchmark for artists working today. Yet he left frustratingly few written records of his processes and was notoriously reticent about his methods. One brave soul apparently once asked him the key to being a successful artist and it is recorded that he rather grumpily replied ‘The only secret I have is damned hard work’! This lecture examines Turner’s watercolour practice in detail, unlocking the mysteries behind his exceptional effects.
Lectures start at 10:30 prompt, please arrive in good time from 10:00 to have a free tea or coffee and chat.
