Description
This is a landscape I painted back in August-September 2019 in a long car trip from France to Spain.The air conditioning was so strong and cold inside the car I almost couldn't paint pfff so I decided to use the tiny sponge on my travel set to make quick random shapes to paint the leaves instead of using the brush, which wasn't reacting good to the cold air.
I used Rembrandt watercolour paper, Rembrandt and Winsor & Newton professional watercolours and white gell pen.

I like your Turneresque use of light - that's definitely not easy, but carried out well, it adds a magnificent atmosphere to the setting.
I assume you're familiar with Turner's works, but here's an example anyway (one of his most faous paintings): www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paiβ¦

That's an excellent piece as well!
Many have tried (and failed) to copy Turner's light - it's like trying to copy a violin by Stradivari. One thing I like about your piece is, that it seems inspired by a master without an attempt to copy him. Besides being wonderful to look at, it shows an understanding of art and art history combined with technical skill, awareness, and the artist's presence in the setting. Brava!
Fun fact: Did you know, that Turner grew a fingernail very long so that he could scratch the yellow surfaces in order to create the almost blinding white light...?
N.B.Everyone should do themselves the favour of seeing some of Turner's works irl at least once.
