Glowing sunset at Manly (ala Turner)
Sunset at Manly - original painting by Peter Inglis ©2018
Let's use the methods of J. M. Turner to paint this energetic, impressionist sunset!
Turner (1775-1851) was regarded as one of the greatest landscape artists in history, and a great influence on Monet.
Complementary colours + Close Tones + Soft edges = LUMINOSITY!
