One of the features of this series that I haven’t remarked on before is the 2-page potted biography of the artist in question that prefaces each volume. Whether this is enough to make the purchase worthwhile is debatable, since most of it could probably be acquired in ten minutes on the internet, but it’s something worth noting.
What you get here is the opportunity to re-create, in slightly garish tones, five of Turner’s most famous works, including The Fighting Temeraire, in the medium of acrylics.
