0:00:00 > 0:00:00- 888
0:00:00 > 0:00:02- 888- - 888
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- 888
0:00:16 > 0:00:20- I'm visiting one of Britain's most - easily recognized historic sites...
0:00:20 > 0:00:23- ..the impressive Caernarfon Castle.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- Castles don't usually attract the - attention of contemporary artists.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- To many people, they are - politically explosive subjects...
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- ..and a symbol of oppression.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- But between the 18th - and 20th centuries...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- ..castles, and Caernarfon Castle - in particular...
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- ..were an exotic topic for artists.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- This wasn't just a castle. - It was a royal palace near the sea.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- There are many paintings - of Caernarfon Castle.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- In my view, - one stands out from the others.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- That painting is in - the National Gallery in Cardiff.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- It's entitled The Stronghold of the - Seison and the Camp of Kittywake.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- It was painted in 1879 - by John Brett.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14- When I called to view it...
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- ..the painting - was in the conservation room.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- The last time I saw the painting, - it was in a poor condition...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- ..due to the effects - of poor varnishing.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- It's a surprise - to see this painting...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- ..in the National Gallery's - conservation room.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- I usually see it on a wall - and it has a yellow tinge.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- You can now see the bright colours.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- You can also see the brush strokes - and the vibrant background.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- You can see the detail - in the castle itself...
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- ..tiny, minute details.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- The sandbank - is an interesting feature.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- It illustrates the rhythm - of the sea.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- The colours are remarkable.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- Turquoise, cerulean - and different blues and greens.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- They help bring out - the red colours in the sails.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Caernarfon itself looks very warm.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- It looks almost Mediterranean.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- The mountains look far softer - than I expected.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- It's less harsh - than the north Wales terrain.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Look at the size of the painting - - it's a vast panorama.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- It shows Snowdonia - as God's masterpiece.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- It towers over the minute details.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- We've invited two artists to create - a new interpretation of this scene.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- The first artist is Darren Hughes - from Bethesda...
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- ..whose paintings are inspired...
0:02:45 > 0:02:51- ..by the mountainous areas and - slate quarries around his home.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- According to the late - Kyffin Williams...
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- ..Darren demonstrates - true passion in his art.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Darren is painting - on Brynsiencyn beach on Anglesey...
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- ..directly opposite Caernarfon.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- This is the position - chosen by Brett.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- The changeable nature - of the weather...
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- ..creates exciting possibilities - for his work.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21- I just want to express - how the sky looks today.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- The clouds are so high - and the light is incredible.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Do you think there's too much - to see in this vast expanse?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- I think so. This strip is amazing.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- There's so much detail - around the castle itself.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- There are countless houses.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- You have different layers - of mountains, the light and the sky.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- It's particularly windy today.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- I'm trying to gather - as much information as possible.
0:03:53 > 0:04:00- What are you using now? - You're painting with watercolours.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- You've brought a number - of sketchbooks.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- You're also using Indian ink.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I'm using Indian ink, - watercolours and charcoal.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- The light has been shining - on different parts of the mountains.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- I can see more detail. - I'm trying to paint the shapes...
0:04:21 > 0:04:27- ..and then I'm adding - as much of the detail as I can see.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- I didn't expect to see - such strong colours.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- It's a reminder to help me - when I return to the studio.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- I'm just making a note - of a few colours that I can see.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- The sea is one colour, - the sky is grey...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- ..and the green colours - are really strong.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- John Brett became - a distinguished artist in the 1870s.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- He was a wealthy man.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- He bought his own yacht.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- The Viking was his maritime studio.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- It was big enough - to accommodate his family and crew.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Most summers, - John Brett and his family...
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- ..would leave their home in London - to travel along the coast.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Sometimes, - they visited Cornwall or Scotland.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Most of the time, - they visited Wales.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Brett would draw sketches - on board his yacht.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- He would complete the paintings...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- ..during the winter - in his London studio.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- This is one he painted - of Cardigan Bay.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Brett was part - of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- In the mid 19th century...
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- ..the Middle Ages became a popular - subject for artists once again.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- This was a response - to the uncertainty...
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- ..following - the Industrial Revolution.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- The Pre-Raphaelites - embraced Christian ideals...
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- ..expressed through - nature, beauty and chivalry.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- This painting by Rosetti, the most - famous of the Pre-Raphaelites...
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- ..hangs next to Brett's Cardigan Bay - in our National Gallery.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- This is my favourite.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- A woman of mystery and intrigue.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Our second artist - is Rowena Edwards from Caernarfon.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- She's a student - at the Chelsea School of Art...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- ..and was previously - at Coleg Menai, Bangor.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Rowena likes to convey - a personal story in her work.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Her family is the subject - in these pictures.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Rowena is making sketches - from within the castle.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- She has taken an elevated - position on top of the Eagle Tower.
0:06:57 > 0:07:03- I'm using the walls and the cut-out - in the castle walls...
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- ..to frame the view - from this position.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- I'm highlighting - what I see with colour.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- I'm using masking tape to create - a different base for the picture.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- I've looked through various windows.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- I'm putting - all the sketches together...
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- ..but I'm also keeping - the outline of the stone framework.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- I like the walls and the way - the wind has eroded them.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- There are different patterns.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Brett visited Anglesey - as a young man.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- He had a productive relationship - with the Welsh coastline...
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- ..which continued for 30 years.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- Brett stayed with his friends here, - in Tros Yr Afon near Beaumaris.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- We're in the house - where Brett stayed with his family.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- What do you think - about this painting?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- It's an interesting painting.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- It's a bit twee - - it's a romantic painting.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- There's a lot that interests me - in the painting.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- There's plenty of detail.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- There are detailed sections - in every part of the painting.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- That's characteristic - of the Pre-Raphaelite period.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- They worked - in quite a scientific way.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- The entire scene is vast.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- The sky is immense.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- There's a strip of land - with the sky above it.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- It's such an interesting space.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- The painting has been broken up - into sections.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52- Brett is very aware - of the geometry of composition.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- The castle is the focal point.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02- It ties up the foreground, - the background and the sky together.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- When Brett painted this picture - of Caernarfon Castle...
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- ..his paintings sold - for high prices.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- The prices rose six-fold - in a short period of time.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Brett could charge 3,000 - during this period...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- ..but curiously, - this painting failed to sell.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- His family later donated it - to the National Gallery.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- The spirit of the Middle Ages - has captured Rowena's imagination.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- When Edward I, King of England, - built this castle in 1282...
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- ..he wanted a strong fortress - and a royal palace.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- The castle has witnessed - ceremonial occasions.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- It was also the focus - for Welsh resistance.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Edward wanted to demonstrate...
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- ..his military and political power - throughout his kingdom.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- But these aims weren't fulfilled.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Today, the spear has become - a paintbrush for our artists.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Rowena uses the grid shape - of the windows...
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- ..to create a geometric image - using wax, paint and charcoal.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- The castle's complex architectural - structure is remarkable.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- I wanted to know if the shapes - had attracted Rowena's attention.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- I've been sketching - the spiral staircase.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- It caught my eye. - The structure is so complex.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- It's very interesting.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Instead of just using - black, white and grey...
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- ..I decided to use light blue - and dark blue.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- You're using the shapes - within the castle...
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- ..the windows, the gaps, - the battlements and the staircase.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- I'm using different aspects - of the castle in my sketches.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- I've used wax to draw - the window frame in this sketch.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- I've used the wax - to create a different effect.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- What are your feelings - towards the castle?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- I was born near Caernarfon.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- I've lived here all my life.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- It's close to my heart.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- I wanted to listen - to the views of local people.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- I went on the Ferris wheel - with the town's mayor, Ioan Davies.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- What do you think of the castle?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- There is a Roman fort - within the castle walls.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- The Welsh took over the fort.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Edward I built the castle...
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- ..and now, the people - of the town have taken it over.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- It's part of the town.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Some people don't like the castle - at all.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- For political reasons.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- I think we've all taken it over now.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- What do the local people think?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Is the castle a symbol - of oppression?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Oh, definitely. It certainly is.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- What is its purpose?
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- To keep the Welsh in check.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- What do you think of the castle?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- It's excellent. - It's in good condition.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34- Do young people like you think - it's a symbol of English oppression?
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- Sometimes, maybe. I'm not sure - if we take that seriously.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- While Darren cracked on - with his watercolours...
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- ..I asked him about his feelings - for the castle.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- I don't have any feelings, - to be honest.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- It's just something for me to paint.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- I view it as a subject, - just like all other subjects.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- It's interesting - how it nestles in the landscape.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- There's a man-made quality about it. - It's something that interests me.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- You usually work from home, - in Bethesda.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- The scenery there is very different.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- You're painting mountains - when you're on a mountain.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- You're detached - from your subject here.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- How does this affect you?
0:13:26 > 0:13:31- There so much distance between the - castle, the landscape and me.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- It has a melancholy quality to it.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- I wanted to hear Rowena's response - to Brett's painting.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- I don't usually like - traditional paintings.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- I like the fact - that he's used pastel shades...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- ..and the way he's painted - the clouds.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- It's also nice to see the mountains.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54- What type of artwork appeals to you?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I like personal artwork - which has a story linked to it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- That's why I like this painting - of Caernarfon Castle.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- The castle is familiar - and personal to me.
0:14:06 > 0:14:12- It's as if Brett is communicating - with me through this painting.
0:14:17 > 0:14:17- 888
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- 888- - 888
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Darren joined me - on board the Vilmar...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- ..to experience the way - John Brett worked.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- Brett was close to nature - on board the boat.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- This is the way Pre-Raphaelites - preferred to work.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- Brett produced over 200 paintings - from his voyages to Wales...
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- ..but not everyone - is as fond of sailing.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- I wanted to know how the movement - of the boat affected Darren's work.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- It's quite a challenge - to draw a picture on a boat.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- What's caught your eye?
0:15:07 > 0:15:14- I've had time to draw the smaller - detail to use in the studio.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- You have so much perspective - in front of you.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- You can't be too fussy - when you draw on a boat.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- What about the castle itself? - It moves as you look at it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35- I've kept the ideas in my head and - altered the drawing as I've gone on.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- I've added to the composition - of the drawings.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- It's very interesting.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Rowena is collecting materials - from the shore near the castle...
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- ..which isn't far from her home - on the outskirts of the town.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- The candles have been extinguished.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- The heat gun is at work.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- She's using different materials, - including textiles...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- ..stones from the beach...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- ..and a few unusual materials...
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- ..in her picture.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- Darren's studio is at his home, on - the side of a mountain in Bethesda.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Darren works with the extremities - of perspective...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- ..distant and close-up.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- You wouldn't expect to see - an artist using a spray gun...
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- ..on this type of painting.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- I wanted to know more - about his technique...
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- ..and his reasons - for using this device.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- I use masks - - I use plants and spray through them.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- I work over them afterwards - and add more spray.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- That helps with the space.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- The castle is white at the moment.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- It was a remarkable scene - when the sunlight hit the castle.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- That will change.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17- I've joined up - many of the different moments...
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- ..to create an impression - of the place.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- You've compressed the moments.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- It's one moment in particular.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- It's a series of moments. - That's why painting is so special.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- I like the intense, grey clouds.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- You have sunlight - peering through here.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- That's what's nice about - having the sea and the coastline.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- The weather is so changeable.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50- It's just a matter of using - all those effects in the painting.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- You've painted a panoramic scene.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- You can have the weather of - one day here and the next day there.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- You paint on smooth surfaces. - What materials do you paint on?
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- It depends. - There's paint under the sky here.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- I've added a layer - of glaze varnish to it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- I use acrylic paint on top of that - layer to create different colours.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- It's a very different way - of painting.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22- This is amazing.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- A moment like that - appears by chance.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- It's not a mistake, as such...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- ..but you start to remember - different aspects.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- I remember that light - and it all comes together.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- It's fantastic - how it inspires me to paint.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- In 1887, after spending the summer - sketching and drawing...
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- ..Brett returned to London...
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- ..and organized an exhibition - in his studio.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Hardly anyone attended.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Brett's method of painting - was no longer distinguished.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Rowena, early in her career...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- ..is still experimenting - with different techniques.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- This is Caernarfon in the Caribbean.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- You've completed your painting now. - It's very interesting.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- The way you work - has surprised me in some ways.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- The first thing to ask is what - material you've used as a base?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- An old duvet.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- Is working on a duvet - different from working on canvas?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- It offers a lot more depth.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- There are many different effects.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- If I melt wax on the duvet, it - creates folds which create clouds.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- I like the way - you've interpreted the sky.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- The sky is very busy.
0:20:02 > 0:20:08- The sky that day was quite dull - and grey. I've added colour.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- I've added red - to represent the sunset.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- The sun is setting - in Brett's painting.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- I'm not sure about your clouds, - though!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Tell me more about the clouds.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22- Tell me more about the clouds.- - I like them!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- I like the comic, - cartoon effect they create.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- I like to include features - like that.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- I don't think many people like it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- You're very playful in the way - you create your art.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- I see the castle every day.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- It's a serious building.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46- I've included some humour with - the clouds and it's more colourful.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- I see things differently.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Pre-Raphaelite art was very serious.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- Post-modern artists are willing - to interpret the world...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- ..with humour and irony.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- This is a scene depicting dreams.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- Darren has almost finished. - He takes care with the detail.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- Darren's ambitious response - is complete.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- It's like Brett in some ways...
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- ..but it's nothing like Brett - in other ways.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- There's a chilly atmosphere. - It's almost misty.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- There was light - trapped behind Elephant's Head.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- I wanted to capture that.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- When I was there...
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- ..the castle was in sunlight - and the rain was moving in.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- I wanted to capture those effects.
0:21:57 > 0:22:03- The castle is shrouded in mist - and almost seems to disappear.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- I can see every detail - in the castle - it's very clear.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- When you're focusing - on such a panoramic view...
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- ..you can't see - the complete painting.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- You're always drawn - to a particular detail.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I san see Elephant's Head - very clearly.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- I wanted to create different layers.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- That can be quite difficult. - You have to take your time.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- You were using leaves - as masks in the foreground.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- I was using them as a device...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- ..to improve the foreground - and define the space.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50- It didn't actually work. - I liked this strip as it was.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- I was trying to frame it - with the light and the mist.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00- Wales is an enchanting place - on the other side of the sea.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- The space helped me illustrate that.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Are you happy with your work? - You're never happy!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- No, we're never happy.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- I am happy with the painting.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- It's a step forward for me.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- I've used different materials, - such as watercolour.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- It's far more delicate.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- In many ways, - it's been a great success.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- The attention to detail makes this - panting very similar to Brett's.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- What sets the paintings apart - is the choice of colours.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- The detail Brett included - in his landscapes...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- ..contributed to his success - as an artist.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Why did Brett use warm colours - in his painting?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- It's very evident to me now.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- He painted - just as the sun was setting.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- As the sun shines on the castle, - the walls sparkle like gold.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- The sea reflects - and intensifies that effect.
