turner play

Messy limited-palette Turner-inspired play.
I did these quickly, wetly, and on mixed media paper, which accounts for all the blooms.
I like blooms, though perhaps not so many. And also, they're the incriminating evidence that I kept going back to the paper when I shouldn't have!
Used ivory black, Paynes gray, and burnt umber. Then added a little cerulean to each because I thought they needed it.
Really must work on getting a good dark dark on the first go.

Gorgeous and very Turner. It is so hard to judge the darks with watercolour but these are just right. I like the idea of a Turner/Wyeth a day. Are you enjoying it?
