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.
