From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Study of Sea : Stormy Sky is a 1775 watercolor by Joseph Mallord William Turner, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a rough sea with white waves crashing at the bottom. Above it, the sky is a mix of pale blues, yellows, and browns, looking stormy but faded. The colors are soft and washed out, like the paint was thinned out. The artist used watercolor, which lets the colors blend easily. The sky looks almost smudged, as if the brushstrokes were light and quick. Look up *Turner, Joseph Mallord William* to see more of his stormy seas.
A watercolour drawing titled *Study of Sea: Stormy Sky* was created by Joseph Mallord William Turner in 1775.
