Summary: change in technique was evident by the late 1820s. Turner started to paint directly with translucent washes of pure color, creating luminous and vibrant watercolors that were almost like stained glass. His watercolors, such as "The Trent, Near Burton," capture the effects of light and atmosphere with a bold and experimental approach, pushing the boundaries of traditional landscape painting. Turner's ability to convey emotion through color and light, as seen in works like "Rain, Hail, and Steam," set him apart as a visionary artist ahead of his time, paving the way for the Impressionist movement that would follow. His legacy as a master of color and light continues to inspire and captivate art lovers around the world, solidifying his place as one of the greatest painters in art history.
