Light into Colour: Turner in the South West

The exhibition examines the work produced by JMW Turner during his visits to Devon and Cornwall between 1811 and 1814. It includes examples of Turner's work in all media (oil paintings, oil sketches, watercolours, pencil sketches and notebooks), providing spectators with a rounded exposure to his different working methods. In reuniting sketches with finished work it will be possible to enter into Turner's creative development of observed reality as it becomes a suitable subject for a finished picture.

Exhibiting at:

• Tate St Ives (28 January – 7 May 2006)
• Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery (20 May – 5 August 2006)
