Boats and coastal scenery have always inspired artists. This book
celebrates that inspiration and explains many aspects of painting the
coast, from creeks and tidal rivers to bustling beach scenes, boats and
harbours, with a strong emphasis on capturing light, mood and
atmosphere. Using watercolour, oil and pastel, it looks in detail at the
painting process and encourages both novice and experienced artists
alike to venture forth to capture the drama and beauty of the coast and
sea.
