    If you love the sea but are unable to capture it’s essence this is the book for you. It is an excellent guide with many step by step demonstrations. Each one on a different subject all related to the seashore. For example: waves, rocks, palm trees, sea birds etc are demonstrated and simplified first in watercolor, then in acrylic.
    I love this book and I know you will too!
