This beautiful book edition reproduces Turner's 'Skies' sketchbook in facsimile. Besides many watercolour studies of sky effects, from sunlit cloudscapes to darkening skies and reddening sunsets, it also includes pencil sketches of London and the surrounding area.

With an illustrated introduction by Turner art expert David Blayney Brown which discusses the background and impact of these drawings, this gorgeous book illustrates Turner's exceptional attention to colour and light, but also reflects his friendships, activities and interests - most notably his fascination with the weather and changing climate.

Turner drew and painted skies, clouds and weather all his life. As a boy he liked to go up to Hampstead Heath in North London, lie on his back to draw the sky, and return to town to sell his day's work. Later in life he made many coloured studies, often in Kent which he believed had the finest skies in Europe.
