Painting a J.M.W Turner Watercolour / Master Study

My fast and loose study of "Loch Long Morning"
by Joseph Mallord William Turner
Painted on Saunders Waterford 140lb cold pressed
Brushes: Medium Hake, Sable Rigger, Synthetic Flat 3/4"
Colours: Yellow Ochre, Ultramarine, Alizarin, Burnt Umber, Yellow, Burnt Sienna, Neutral Tint, Palette Greys

I painted this demo in my own personal style, I very much doubt Turner would have worked in this way.

Lovely painting! I like how you're not explaining every step, only painting with music. So refreshing for my ears.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

Love the music very moody ❤

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you ☺️

Rich tonalities in greys and browns, a wonderful demonstration of color mixing and layering with one flat brush. Thank you so much for your instructive demonstration of Turner watercolor study.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks so much for watching

[@markdonovan1540]

This a stunning demonstration of the subtle art of cspturing depth and tonal variation in a landscape. The background music adds a touch of intrigue to the whole process as we watch the painting unfold before our eyes. It just shows what can be done with just a few colours, 3 large mixing wells and a minimum of brushes - the magnificent Hake brush being the star of the show! Subscribed in a splash!

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you so much!!

Finally, a calm beautiful watercolor lesson. Ahhhhhhhh.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you so much 😊. And thanks for watching !!

I just stumbled over this video and what caught my attention was the resemblance to an oil painting I did. We had been driving south from Inverness toward Oban when we came upon this layby at the waters edge I was taken by the scene and quickly took a photo viewing to do a painting once we returned home. Some time past and at a group meeting we were challenged to do an oil painting. This was a medium I was not familiar with. Pity I cannot post it here as you might think it was the same location👍

[@ChrisStephenArt]

This is Loch Long. It’s not too far from Oban, could possibly be the same place.

really amazing artwork. nice sharing my friend

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Very nice work. I think the choice of music was perfect for the painting ☺️

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks very much, Jay 😊

[@stevelovett9208]

Excellent...very much enjoyed the process and the approach to your painting. I can see some of Turner in your work. Learnt a lot from this video...thanks for posting.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Steve. I’ve always been hugely influenced by Turner. I learn a lot from attempting to copy his paintings in my own style. More importantly, it’s fun !!

[@bramelsheretan]

wonderful to watch, thank you for sharing

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks for watching !!

[@arundel6640]

Awesome, I've found someone who does turner's style. He's my favourite artist. Carry on, with his style dude 😎

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks so much. Everything I do has been influenced by Turner. Although, I don’t really think I have in any way mastered his amazing style. I will continue to try !!

[@carolinafernandezoro733]

Beautiful painting

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks for watching

[@stormsdraws]

I love it! (:

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks 🙏

[@davidwaller4646]

Great technique and lovely painting but .... did Turner really work wet-in-wet like this demo? I think he very rarely worked wet-in-wet like this.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks David. Yes you’re right, he probably didn’t work wet in wet, at least not like this. I think I wrote in the video description that Turner wouldn’t have painted in this way. This study was very much in my own style, using Turner’s composition for inspiration.

[@sandradonofrio413]

Please list your colors.

[@edvardaskartanovic3732]

🙋👍

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks 👍

[@billsiviter9272]

A good enough demo of hake painting but hardly Turneresque!

[@ChrisStephenArt]

As mentioned in the title, this is a quick study of a Turner watercolour, definitely not a copy. I painted it in 20 minutes, in my own style.

[@elizabethdarley8646]

Hi , lovely video. Thank you so much. Brilliant work. Which paper are you using here please? Elizabeth in Yorkshire

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Hi Elizabeth. Thanks so much. I used Saunders Waterford 140lb Cold Pressed paper

[@luisAntonio-wi9rq]

I just need 2 colors you say?. Then why all artists have dozens of different tones of in their drawers?

[@ChrisStephenArt]

You can use whatever you want. But you can also do a lot with just two pigments.

[@esragungor8672]

😊nice job what is your watercolour name ?

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you

[@yuchensoong8847]

Nice work. But I do not think this is Turner's style at all.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

It’s a copy of Long Loch Morning by Turner. Painted in my own style. Thanks for watching

[@sandradonofrio413]

Sorry. Just found the colors.
