Dynamic Seascapes by Judith Yates

This book is as exciting as the subject it portrays! Judith will show you how to create drama in paintings of waves, skies, foreshores, headlands and estuaries. Working in watercolour, acrylics and inks, Judith explores the many opportunities presented by further mediums such as masking fluid, gesso, salt and PVA glue. Her work also exploits textures to create a sense of power and body in the ever-shifting subject of water. Before you start work on paper or canvas, Judith explains how to observe and understand the sea. Water is both solid yet fluid, transparent yet full of colour, and she will show you how to capture both movement and impact in a still image. Judith also explains colour, palettes and the properties of light, providing a thorough grounding that underpins the exercises and demonstrations that follow. These include a variety of seasons and times of day, giving you the chance to work with a variety of conditions and moods.
