This month we will be studying the work of Joseph Mallord William Turner. This master painter worked in the late 1700s and early 1800s. He is best known for his soft flowing landscapes and is considered by many to be Britain’s best artist.
We are going to create our own idealistic landscapes this month, focusing on mirroring Turner’s use of light and tone.
