Product Description
Product Description
Bestselling author Claudia Nice shows how to draw and paint colourful seascapes, shorelines and beach scenes using watercolour textured with pen and ink. With the help of reference photos and field sketches, Claudia demonstrates how to create realistic and colourful paintings ranging from dramatic whitewater waves to more intimate vignettes such as sailboat marinas and tropical beaches. Each chapter explores in detail a different component of seascape painting, with the details being combined into 30 full-sized finished paintings to show how a composition is pulled together.

Format:Hardcover
This is well up to the author's usual standard. It is full of ideas and techniques for tackling a pretty comprehensive variety of aspects of the coast, with watercolour and pen and ink and other media as well. Other artists tend to show you how they painted particular pictures and then encourage you to go and play around with the ideas. Claudia Nice shows you her playing around, as well as studies, and finished pieces. It is almost impossible not to get caught up in trying things out for yourself. This book is like a breath of the sea air. As inspiring as the real thing.

This book covers all aspects of seascapes in mostly watercolour and pen and ink but also touches on acrylics. The same principles of painting the sea and shorelines can be applied to any medium, however.
The book is divided into chapters dealing with different elements such as rocks, boats, animals and people, and different weather types. It also shows how to build up texture on rocks and particularly sand.
Altogether this is a good book for beginners and more experienced artists as well.

Format:Hardcover
A superbly informative book for all of us who love water. It guides us through all the necessary stages of achieving a successful painting whether an expert or are new to sea painting. This is one book I wish I'd discovered earlier. The stages to achieve the desired outcomes are very detailed and easy to read.
The scenes are mouth 'wateringly' good and so are the techniques. I will buy more buy more books by Claudia Nice.

Not What I Expected
With the sub-title of 'with brush and pen' I expected a book on line and wash but I was disappointed; it is really, for the most part, 'with brush OR pen'. Read more
