I have a 4 page article in the latest edition that shows you how to recreate JMW Turner's Fighting Temeraire. Here's an extract from page 2:
This was not an easy painting to do! I painted it three times in preparation for this article, the first one was the wrong colour (too much red)...
The second one's sky was too busy and dominant (although I have to say, this one is my favourite)
And the third one came out truer to the original.
If you have a go I'd be very interested to see your results, if you post them on my
facebook page I'll share them with my followers!
