Ebooks To Download

Dave White introduces the simple but effective techniques that he uses to paint stunning, dramatic seascapes with beautiful, realistic skies. He demonstrates spattering, blending backgrounds, painting horizons, finger painting clouds and foam. There is expert advice on the anatomy of waves and how they rise and collapse, creating ripples, surf, foam and spray. Clear instructions show how to paint effective reflections and beaches to improve your seascapes. The sky section shows effective techniques for painting all types of cloud, with some innovative methods such as tipping up the surface to let dilute paint run, to create cirrus clouds. Dave's method of creating depth in sea, beach and sky using lines projected from the vanishing point will radically improve readers' seascapes. There is a section of moods and sunsets full of beautiful, dramatic examples. Finally three step by step projects show how to paint a beach panorama with a rolling wave, a spectacular sunset over a calm sea and waves crashing on rocks.

This book will make you look at ocean waves in a different light. I am planning a fairly good-sized painting of waves coming in on an ocean beach and this book will certainly help me on my way. I will likely plan this painting for a long time before I ever get started on it. I will attempt some of the paintings from this book before I start on the one that is in my head.

Includes several step by step illustrations on how to paint seascapes and numerous large completed examples.

Gives good starting point for water and sky painting

Great book. Showed exactly what was listed in the information brochure. I would purchase other books by this author.

I don't like many of the pictures offered as samples but the technique is well explained.

Excellent seller with terrific delivery. Well packaged. Terrific text to learn to paint sea and sky. Highly recommend.

Wonderful book with great insight into multiple perspective horizon wawes exhibit​
