  Seascapes have long been a source of fascination for artists, inspired by the immense skies, surging waves and bustling ports. This book is a practical guide to capturing such seascapes. It offers innumerable tips on relevant techniques including those for tackling the sky, sea, coastline, ports, boats and composition. The second part of the book then follows six well-known artists through all stages of one of their works, giving an insight into the diverse approaches that different artists adopt, as well as their favoured settings and subject matter. Finally, ten paintings are shown in a gallery, along with information about the artist and how the painting was created. An inspirational and practical book for anyone fascinated by the sea and seascapes.
