LOOK INSIDE

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.

Dave's method of creating depth in sea, beach and sky using lines projected from the vanishing point will radically improve readers' seascapes.

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.
