Harry R. Ballinger's craft is painless to employ, once you see how its done. This is basically again a black and white book with about 6 colored plates. His approach of waves in motion gives us a better insight into the physics of waves, and how they should appear. I do like this book, but there are better publications to be had.
This is a great technical help. It gives specific examples and step by step visual aids. The techniques are sound and the results in your own work will be spectacular. Such a low price and a great value. A great investment. Very happy with this purchase.
As a new painter I am reading and learning with each book I purchase. This book offers another techique of painting with great written instructions and ideas for painting seascapes. I enjoyed reading this book and will continue to use it for reference and instruction as I continue to learn painting seascapes.
this book has a great cover but everything inside is in black and white and they're aren't many pictures but full pages of ???////!!!!it wasn't helpful
I thought it would be all in color, not black and white. I am taking a class in acrylic paintings in color.
Clear and precise information. Loads of practice subjects on planning and painting the picture, skies, surf, rocky shore sandy beach etc.
