Our annual visit to Northumberland clutching my new Moleskin. They are expensive but an absolute joy to work in. Hunting Hall Farm is our home of choice there - opposite Holy Island - and whilst over the years have made several attempts at the 'yard' none have worked. But was reading Ravilious & Co - an excellent book from which I learnt he would exaggerate trees and if a pole was in the foreground he'd draw it. I'm in two minds about that; Turner would readily move, omit or even introduce things not there for the composition.
