Yesterday I started practicing watercolor. It was my first try on this project with almost no experiences of watercolor, so naturally I was disappointed with the result. I needed some directions in addition to my small collections of watercolor books, so I decided to check out Turner book today. I always thought his works were all oil on canvas; however, I found in this book more than 20 works in watercolor with mix media such as graphite, ink, and body color. I don't know what body color is, but these works have given me some directions. Hopefully I will have a little better result in watercolor this weekend.
By the way, when I was in junior high school (long, long time ago), my art teacher introduced students many western artists. I think Turner's work was one of them, and he became my favorite. Every time I go to a museum, I try to find his works. I am very excited I have found him again in pursuing my project.
