The neglected paintings found in storage had not been over exposed to light so were a big discovery.

Being able to see the traveling paint kit and some other Turner possessions would definitely have interested me. I've always like to see the sketchbooks, and watercolors and materials on display at the Tate much more than the grand oil paintings.<br /><br />It looks to me as if you have found much inspiration on your journey across the Channel. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-20883532324867323252016-10-13T18:01:13.070-04:002016-10-13T18:01:13.070-04:00I love your watercolour in the style of Turner.

I have long wished to emulate his work...and even discovered that the original manufacturer of the watercolors he travelled with still makes them! http://www.turnersartshop.co.uk/pip-seymour-turner-palette-18c-watercolour-disc-set-6249-p.asp <br />Have not splurged for them since I doubt the pigment alone will help my work, but it is fun to see what he used. I have learned since discovering the watercolors that he was notoriously stingy about paying for supplies!<br /><br />Jeanette, Mistress of Longearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815875437992974233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-45018386807882654922016-10-13T14:04:35.108-04:002016-10-13T14:04:35.108-04:00What an exquisite exhibition!
