Turning into Turner!

Well our Turner day went well, and I regret not taking individual photos of the paintings which you did. These are just a few action shots to give a feel of the day. I would like to be able to say that there was lots of grunting and spitting during the course of production but actually it was all very seemly and genteel! Big paintings, A1 size were the order of the day, and everyone engaged in lots of knife technique, scraping and scumbling to make the fabulous feel of light which Turner creates. There was experimentation with a variety of mediums to alter paint consistency including tile grout and coal dust for special effects!  If you missed the day, and would like to have a go let me know and I will put on another special Turner day.
