Description
PLEASE NOTE:
This bundle now includes the brilliant Seas & Shorelines and Skies light and Atmosphere books.
'Seas & Shorelines' is a guide to painting the point where sea meets land. Being a transition, it offers unique challenges and opportunities and David will show you how to meet and exploit them to produce exciting results.
You’ll find waves, rocks, beaches, boats, buildings, cliffs, people and birds as the breakers roll and crash in. There are calm waters, rough seas, craft of all kinds and the people who man them. Villages cling to steep hillsides and waders feed in quiet estuaries as the sun sets.
As well as four full demonstrations, there are exercises and advice aplenty. David explains with admirable clarity how to get boats - and even rigging - right. He’ll explain the practicalities of working from a boat as well as the different perspectives of painting on land or at sea and he is, of course, fully at home with all the techniques you’ll need.
This is a concise but thorough guide and David is at the absolute top of his form.
Search Press - Paperback - 96 pages - Colour throughout
In Skies Light and Atmosphere, David returns to one of the subjects for which he's best known and he concentrates on the how rather than just the what and the why of a subject that can be difficult to pin down.
Using plenty of examples, as well as short demonstrations, David explains simple and complex skies, clouds and sunlight. He also shows you how to use layered glazes to increase light effects, how to handle light that comes from more than one direction and how to give real depth to shadows.
In the section on atmosphere, he demonstrates how to make the most of mist and rain, as well as how to create the effect of space and distance.
Although he treats them separately, all of the subjects link together and you'll soon be getting the passion and inspiration that David says are as important as composition for a successful painting. Generously illustrated and superbly reproduced, this is one of David's most instructive books.
