great sea and sky techniques - By: J. Zelos, 13 Oct 2007
Terry begins by a brief overview of materials & colours - he says buy the best quality paints & papers & this is something I agree with. He outlines the colours he uses & shows which to mix to make some good sea colours. Terry has his own range of brushes on sale & I found it useful that he showed the marks each one can create.

The painting section begins by explaining - with pictures- basic watercolour techniques such as wetin wet & lifting out, then moves on to a useful section on how to paint different seas, from calm water to crashing waves, & goes on to cover many of the elements for creating sea paintings, such as rocks, reflections & shorelinesin separate detail. I found this very useful as it allows any combination of sea paintings to be created, & the instructions were very clear & easy to follow. The latter section of the book contains three demos, using many of the techniques already demonstrated & each one is very clear about what step, colour & brush to use next.

An excellent soft back book for those interestedin creating sea & sky paintingsin watercolour, with clear easy to follow instructions.
