Terry begins by a brief overview of materials and colours - he says buy the best quality paints and papers and this is something I agree with. He outlines the colours he uses and shows which to mix to make some good sea colours. Terry has his own range of brushes on sale and I found it useful that he showed the marks each one can create.
The painting section begins by explaining - with pictures- basic watercolour techniques such as wet in wet and lifting out, then moves on to a useful section on how to paint different seas, from calm water to crashing waves, and goes on to cover many of the elements for creating sea paintings, such as rocks, reflections and shorelines in separate detail. I found this very useful as it allows any combination of sea paintings to be created, and the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The latter section of the book contains three demos, using many of the techniques already demonstrated and each one is very clear about what step, colour and brush to use next.
An excellent soft back book for those interested in creating sea and sky paintings in watercolour, with clear easy to follow instructions.

The sea part of this book is very helpful with some great tips, but the sky is mentioned only in passing. All the colour mixes rely on using Terry's own range of paints, and instructions relate to his range of brushes.
What I found REALLY irritating is that despite Terry telling you how important level horizons are, the publishers have put in lots of pictures without straightening the horizon (this is a photo fault not an artist fault)
Overall an OK book for beginners starting to learn to paint the sea, but for sky painting look elsewhere.
