Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Dust jacket "The sea has been a source of pleasure and inspiration for centuries. Constantly changing the imagination of artists as diverse as Hokusai and Marin. Here, in this innovative "idea book", a sequel to the author's popular Creative Landscape Painting, Edward Betts offers more than 50 different approaches to painting the sea. Because the idea is to free the artist of preconceived notions of how the sea should be painted, the painting styles discussed range from photographic realism to various degrees of abstraction (formal, lyrical, expressive, semiabstraction, minimalism), and the paintings shown are composed in a variety of media (oil, acrylic, watercolor, mixed media).After a brief introduction, Betts launches into a discussion of 50 imaginative ways to paint marine subjects, explaining how to experiment with viewpoints, lighting, textures, patterns, and styles to add new vitality to your work. Each idea is presented in three the concept is thoroughly explained, suggestions are given on how to incorporate it into your own art, and an example of its application the painting of a leading contemporary artist is shown. The caption accompanying each example contains Betts' usual penetrating, perceptive analysis of the artist's primary intent and how it has been communicated in painting. A color gallery containing 32 additional paintings follows, adding yet another dimension to this seascape painting idea book. Finally, the book concludes with a section entitled "Studio Notes," which offers several pages of practical tips on painting the sea. Creative Seascape Painting will stimulate brand new ways of thinking. It is a book to be enjoyed by professional artists, intermediate and advanced students, and dedicated amateurs - in short, by all artists searching for fresh ways to extend and improve their art. 160 pages. 8.25 x 11 inches, 32 color pages, 50 black-and-white illustrations, suggested reading, Index."

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. 0. Here, for the first time, is a book devoted to a medium that has gained increasing popularity among artists who work in pen and ink. Originally designed for architects and engineers, the technical pen moves smoothly and easily over the paper's surface and offers a precise and predictable line quality that can't be matched by any other type of pen, permitting both loose, gestural sketching and tighter, more deliberate renderings that make it an ideal tool for fine artists, illustrators, and graphic artists alike.Simmons then shows how to put the pen strokes to work through step-by-step demonstrations that illustrate the ins and outs of good, solid image construction, from initial pencil sketch through final inking. He explains how to build form, tone, texture, and "color" in drawings, and how to make sure that the pen strokes do what you really want them to do-a major concern in pen-and-ink rendering. For instance, perhaps you've added a layer of hatched lines over a bird's feathers to create a shadow effect, only to discover that you've suddenly obscured their texture, or maybe one area of your drawing has become too dark. Gary Simmons addresses these and other common problems of mastering the medium and tells how to avoid or solve them.A special, ground-breaking section explores working with the new acrylic-based color inks, including advice on basic color theory, ink selection, color mixing and layering, and how to build an image in color step by step.Gary Simmons, who has been teaching pen-and-ink techniques for some thirty years, covers every aspect of working with the technical pen, beginning with a thorough explanation of its anatomy, operation, and care and including troubleshooting tips as well as advice on choosing appropriate nib widths, inks, and drawing surfaces. He shows in detail how to achieve the wide variety of strokes and stroke patterns the technical pen makes possible-continuous parallel line, crosshatching, stippling, and more-and explores, with copious illustration, the different effects each of these can create alone and in combination.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. New Ed. Explains how to make use of colour in oil, acrylic and watercolour painting. Colour theories are outlined, but the main emphasis is on the way contemporary artists actually use colour. The book's thesis is that once artists have become acquainted with fundamental colour principles, they can begin to have fun with colour and play with it spontaneously. A number of approaches to colour are set forth as a guide, including building a picture with colour blocks, enriching colour with shadows, heightening colour intensity, achieving freshness with broken colour, painting with sunlight, experimenting with abstract colour systems, fantasizing with colour and creating space with colour. Each of the sections of this book are illustrated by the work of artists of historical importance as well as by the work of contemporary artists. There are also a number of development studies of the author's own work. Each section closes with a group of suggested exercises. Charles LeClair is the author of "The Art of Techniques and New Directions".
