Thank you so much for this. Mr. Turner is one of my heroes. Great influence on my paining. Subtitles would help me hear your talk. I know it would add greatly to the cost of production. Much enjoyed what I did hear.

why not one on John Robert Cozens? Another genius.Turner undoubtedly learnt many things from him. Cozens wa a wizard.

Such a shame Turner didn't document his tricks and techniques. Considering the materials and tools available at that time he was an absolute master of what was available.

why is it cut off at the end?

I asked my colleague who edited the film - they replied: "I think it did end there, the speaker kind of drifted off and said something along the lines of ‘that’s all I wanted to say’ or something." So i think we published just what was on the original film. Sorry that it sounds strange.

Do you know what brand or type of watercolor paper he used ...?? Where was the paper made ..?? What county ??? & The weight of the paper ....???

Ruscombe Mill and Two Rivers do make paper by hand that Turner would have used. Turner Blue, Turner Grey and Turner Nocturne. Green and Stone of Chelsea did sell some. It is great to be able to explore these magical sheets, however no art material will ever make anyone paint like Turner. It came from a life time of observing, talent, hard and endless work and his soul. I don't think anyone has come close to conveying the light and air that fill his amazing painting. He was a genius.

Interesting information about the technique of watercolour painting. Perhaps he used chrome yellow and was told that this pigment was not so durable by Windsor and Newton.

If the new pigments were more expensive he wouldn't of wanted to know, Turner was a notorious penny pincher.

I would not describe Turner as a penny pincher. He had a working class background, worked hard all his life and knew the value of money as it was hard to come by. His work is priceless.

Hi Amy. Sadly I believe your physiological assessments of Turner is in many ways absolutely incorrect. Compulsive and obsessive in character he was not - Passionate yes - Intense of course - Wise without doubt - Compassionate unquestionably - And in time - place and space the greatest painter of aesthetic cognitive stimulus Britain has ever had !
