The Seascape Painter's Problem Book

This book shows a step by step method of painting seascapes to avoid the usual problems in an easy to understand language and examples. I feel strongly this book should be apart of a painters library who plans on attempting to paint seascapes.

This book written before E. John was truely "great", at least in my opinion, shows very basic techniques that he used as he was becoming the master he is today. The reason that his book is a must have for any marine painters libary is because it shows the work and technique before E. John could do what he does so "effortlessly". I have attended a one week painting workshop with E. John and I found this book very helpful in pointing out the basics of wave, sky, rock, light, shadow and foam structure.
