Our guest professional artist Julia Borodina demonstrated techniques in order to produce work in William Turner's Venetian style:

      

Works by William Turner

Turner’s work try to evoke a sense of mood and emotion, rather than simply focusing on a purely realistic representation of Venice.

Turner utilized a wide range of colours, often creating a sense of vibrancy and movement through the interplay of light and shadow.

His paintings often depict Venice as a romantic and theatrical place, emphasizing its grandeur and beauty.

The examples below have been produced by our members during our weekly tutorials.
