<p>Turner was a creative painter, constantly striving for new effects and different  ways of doing things. He liked to experiment with various types of paper and coloured grounds. This seascape  has been executed on a white paper prepared with a grey-brown wash.  This has proved particularly effective  for showing a cloudy sky threatening  rain and a churning, cold English sea.</p><p>Unfortunately this watercolour has faded, and the background now appears more pinky-brown. The breakers have been picked out in white gouache (opaque watercolour) highlights.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
