About Femme Au Miroir (Femme À Sa Toilette, Lady At Her Dressing Table)
This composition is painted with a limited range of colors, arranged to give strong contrasts between primary colors. It also incorporates the pale blue wove paper so that it makes a significant contribution to the image. Artists who try to copy a Turner watercolor in order to understand his methods often seem to be drawn to this work, and a description of one way to go about it, using modern materials, has recently been published. For the pale bluish grey paint used for the bridge and buildings, Turner used lead white and a little natural ultramarine, painted onto dry paper and left to dry. This paint conceals the paper color, but all the later washes are transparent, and allow the blue to shine through. In the gaps between washes, the paper acts as a blue tone in the composition. For the sunset, Turner used vermilion and chrome yellow. The red and yellow washes overlap only in the water, which has a fuzzy reflection of the pure yellow sun, itself painted into a reserve deliberately in the red paint of the sunset, and overlapping some red paint. This would be successful only with very opaque pigments such as these. About the Posters
