<DIV><DIV>Celebrating J. M. W. Turner's ability to capture vivid impressions of light, this introduction to the artist and his style presents beginning painters with four step-by-step projects that indulge his favorite themes of turbulent weather, the sea and the great sailing ships of the 19th century, and other waterside moments. Showing that strong drawing skills are not required, this guide provides six reusable, pull-out tracing papers to ensure a balanced layout and allow artists to focus their attention on painting. While Turner was a master in oil, the assignments here are translated into confidence-building, colorful acrylic projects. Rounding out the resource, a short biography of Turner is provided, as well as an overview of the Impressionist movement in which he was a seminal figure.</DIV></DIV>
