There is a Turner exhibition at the National Gallery this January. It's free and it's well worth seeing. I think there are about 30 watercolours on display, and some of these are really gorgeous, though I suspect somewhat faded. They are much smaller than I expected, and there is a variety of styles, from tonal studies with grey and blue paint only, to really detailed ink and watercolour landscapes, and also abstract studies of big skies and rain.
A pity that there are no pictures of it on the National Gallery website, apart from a disappointing, faded study of sky. There are some good pictures on this website, but unfortunately not many watercolours.
