A Man with a Cart and Horses on the Shore, Boats in Choppy Water Beyond 1792-3
I chose this drawing as a challenge. It is small and intricate; the marks made are minimal because of Turner’s precision and accuracy. This style of drawing is a complete contrast to the free angular lines I usually make.
I had to discipline myself to make this drawing using curved, accurate lines.
The biggest challenge, for me, in this particular drawing was ensuring the separate sections of the composition worked as one.
