J. M. W. Turner, Now for iPad
“My iPad sketches are notes for myself to help improve my drawings and give me that on-site memory of seeing the works in person. In my quick sketches I was trying to capture the essence of Turner’s technique and the basic color schemes and textures that created the identity of his work as a whole, and of each painting individually.
Turner inspires me because he can paint anything he wants to, he was a show-off, and he was a blue-collar personality in a hoity-toity elitist social circle. He could finish a whole painting during varnishing day and step away, almost like a ‘mic drop’ of his time. Turner’s works also have a tremendous amount of movement and texture without looking like a hot mess.”
