I chose this drawing because of its gestural energy and speed. I began with the boulder on the left and in wanting to draw quickly, found myself rather lost. I wanted to keep the energy and diversity of the marks whilst remembering where I was. I made two attempts at the drawing, bringing a preferred pencil with me the second time because I felt limited by the white paper I originally worked on. I found that being one step removed from the original experience of the landscape and copying an already encrypted and encoded notation of Turner's experience left my drawing lacking the same conviction. I was left with a profound appreciation of Turner's wide ranging vocabulary of mark making and his decisive confidence in describing this complexity with such an economy of means.
