Product Description

Product Description

Roy Lang shows you how to capture the power, majesty and atmosphere of the sea. You can learn how the sea and sky interact in nature, and how to portray their many moods in oils. Detailed sections on light and atmosphere provide ideal starting points for the beginner, while many hints and tips are provided throughout for any level of artist. The book also contains two step-by-step demonstrations that explain in simple terms how to paint the sea and sky in oils.


About the Author

Roy Lang writes 'I do not consider myself to be an artist; rather someone who has learnt to portray its moods, colours and movements with paint on canvas.' Despite opting out of art at school at the age of thirteen, Roy started painting again in his late thirties while out of work. His understanding of the sea, mainly gleaned from angling in his youth, made up for his lack of any formal training in art. Roy now travels, giving demonstrations and workshops; and lives in the south-west of England.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sea techniques, 13 Oct 2007
By J. Zelos "jeannie" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Roy does a basic overview of materials and a very useful guide to starter palette colours. He mentions avoiding Viridian as its a very difficult colour to work with - something I've found from personal experience. When discussing colour and tone he shows a painting of his which has poor use of tone - and thats as good to see as a "good" picture - we can all learn from others mistakes.

the book expands onto tonal under painting and some basic techniques of painting rocks and beaches which are very clearly explained. I found the section on understanding the sea excellent, I live close to the sea, yet it moves so quickly that its difficult to see the actions. This sections shows clearly the difference between calm seas, swells and waves and explains how to make them look realistic. Two excellent demonstrations at the end pull together the individual techniques covered and how to use them and also exactly which colours to use.

This will be an excellent book for those keen to paint realistic skies and seas, and the sea section in particular is very clearly explained and easy to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, 6 Aug 2008
By Mr. Glenn Jones - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great little book for all those artists endeavouring to paint the most difficult of subjects - the wild sea.

Full of useful information, explaining use of oil colours, techniques, reflections, transparency, layout etc ...

Includes two nice painting projects in detail.

Well worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oil Painting, 17 Sep 2008
I have been painting in watercolor for a number of years now,and Have been asked,!would I do some oils!. Well I got this book by Roy Lang,and found it to be excellent. What Roy has done,is to let people know the kind of pallet to use,I E,plastic,as wood pallets do soak up quite a lot of your paint,so he is saving you money from the start. I know for a fact,that the sea and sky are two of the hardest subjects to paint,but Roy is on hand to get you through it all,with no problems at all. A wonderful book. I hope my review helps you.
