Product Description
Product Description
Using easy-to-follow step-by-step demonstrations and many different paintings, Ray Campbell Smith shows how to create stunning paintings full of atmosphere and feeling. The margin between land and sea has fascinated and inspired artists over the years and it still retains its unique magic. Ray captures all the spectacular beauty and mystery of the coastal fringe: rugged shapes carved out by the sea, sheer cliffs, low-lying stretches of sand, ranges of hills running out to meet water, tidal reaches where rivers widen to meet the ocean and more. Water can bring light and life to the dreariest landscape and in this book he shows how to achieve this. He provides practical advice on all the techniques required, along with helpful tips on the development of an idea, ariel perspective, composition and colour. Beginners and more experienced artists will find this book instructional and stimulating, with many different features and original paintings. It will encourage and inspire them to develop their own ideas and to capture the ever-changing moods of the sea and sky.

A great guide to watercolour techniques,
By
This review is from: Painting Coastal Scenes (Watercolour Tips & Techniques Series) (Paperback)
This book is a beautifully illustrated and clearly explained guide to a wide variety of watercolour techniques covering all kinds of scenery, buildings and objects to be found in proximity to water. Worth buying for the illustrations alone, the guidance in it is applicable to a wide range of people, from someone totally new to watercolour painting, to the fairly experienced painter. Every art student should have a copy.
