The book also contains two step-by-step demonstrations that explain in simple terms how to paint the sea and sky in oils.

About the Author

Roy Lang writes 'I do not consider myself to be an artist; rather someone who has learnt to portray its moods, colours and movements with paint on canvas.' Despite opting out of art at school at the age of thirteen, Roy started painting again in his late thirties while out of work. His understanding of the sea, mainly gleaned from angling in his youth, made up for his lack of any formal training in art. Roy now travels, giving demonstrations and workshops; and lives in the south-west of England.
