<p>The five sketchbooks from this German tour that Turner filled with pencil drawings are evidence of extremely hard work: day after day spent tramping up and down hills in search of good viewpoints and interesting subjects. This watercolour, looking down on to Huy, shows Turner developing one or more of these sketches drawn from vantage points found in this way.</p><p>Bodycolour (or gouache, its French name, from the Italian aguazzo – meaning mud) functions a bit like oil paint. Here Turner mixes increasing amounts of white into the pigment to achieve the lighter tones, with pure white for the highest lights.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
