Turner Sunrise paintings
|
Turner first visited this castle, on the River Tweed, in 1797. It is much reproduced by Turner and others
since. I see this painting as impressionist, had Turner called it 'Sunrise Impression', he would have started the
impressionist movement.

| Turner would tone the white paper in a faint preliminary colour wash, when this is
dry he would draw his chosen subject in soft pencil (3B). Other item he used are brushes No 3 & 6 pointed, No 8 & 10
flat, nibbed pen and natural sponge- of which he used much to blend and texture. |
