Here is the most comprehensive guide now available on the enormously popular subject of marine painting. Written by one of the most venerated seascape painters in America today, Painting Sea and Shore shows amateurs, students, teachers, and professionals how to paint every type of marine subject. Combining two earlier works by Harry R. Ballinger - Painting Boats and Harbors and Painting Surf and Sea - this new, augmented edition literally is two books in one. Separate chapters are devoted to subjects such as materials and tools; composition; perspective; colors; wave action; skies; planning and executing seascapes; rocky shores; sandy beaches; open sea; boats; harbors; planning and executing harbor paintings; daytime and nighttime subjects; ships at sea and along the coast; painting on the spot; painting in the studio; and practice subjects for the reader. In a series of painting demonstrations, Mr. Ballinger reveals how the marine painter can master the sea and shore, in all its rich variety, in oils. Outstanding examples of the author's work appear throughout the book in color and halftone. This rich pictorial content will appeal to the author's countless admirers, who will want to own a gallery of his work. -- from dust jacket.

Ships and the sea have been an inspiration to artists since the earliest of times, as paintings by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans testify. This book by a noted maritime artist and teacher will serve as an excellent guide for beginners and intermediate painters. And for would-be artists interested in going beyond the painting of ships, there are other subjects to consider: beaches, fishing villages, the surf, a rocky coastline, and the open sea. The first painter's manual to cover such a wide variety of maritime subjects, this volume offers something for everyone—some technical details and ideas as well as what to do and what not to do. There's an abundance of practical advice on portraying a vast number of subjects—from docks, sea gulls, fishermen and their vessels to close-ups of ships' hulls, masts, and rigging. Useful tips on perspective, composition, and reflections (the hardest element in a marine setting to reproduce) are accompanied by diagrams and drawings, while step-by-step guidelines help artists capture the essence of an ocean scene and inject more realism into their work.
