Mike Leigh takes time out from shooting his new feature about the life and work of JMW Turner to share his passion for the great painter of landscape and light, and shows us how he takes detailed scenes from Turner’s sketches and recreates them for the camera.
The film is one of a series in which leading creatives share artworks from Tate Britain’s collection that have inspired them.
‘Mr Turner’ is released in 2014.
