Canvas prepared with that of No. 45. From a sketch made in June 1832 on the River 4 or 5 miles from Dolgelly towards the Waterfalls Cain and Mawddach. 

The Sky, which is rather warm in the lights is painted with Ultra 20/- worth, Copal and Turpentine, other parts the old Brown Meguilp.

Painted May 7 th 1833. Sent to Manchester with No. 41. May 25th 1833. Previous to sending this I observed the sky was cracking on the left side over the light cloud. The part cracked was dim, while the other parts of the sky slightly shone. This I couldn't account for, it is probable the copal was not properly mixed with the white and that the quantity was greatest in this particular part - but then why was it dim?* It puzzled me and annoyed me. This is the first part of my own colour I have seen cracked, except where it has been varnished withCopal.

Sold in the Manchester Exhibition Mr. R. Titley, £9 including frame. December 18th 1833.

*The quantity of Copal was probably greatest in those parts which shone and that in drying they contracted, this power of contraction the dim parts were unable to resist and therefore cracked.    August 1st 1839
