He brings his latest guidance, ideas and techniques on a subject about which he is passionate: coastal painting. From his home near the Devon coast, he and co author (art writer) Susie Hodge, cover all aspects of mixed media painting. From considering composition and looking for contrasts to reducing elements for greater impact (and even moving towards abstraction). From working with limited palettes to including imaginary colours to a painting. From collaging with torn magazines, tin foil, plastic, newsprint to combining inks, oil pastels, PVA, acrylic and watercolours. From playing with proportion to create mood to using thick and thin oils for effect. And, of course, how to capture the mood and atmosphere of coastal life, from quiet stretches to busy harbours around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors include several step-by-step projects to demonstrate techniques plus a series of experimental exercises helps the reader try something new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA masterclass from a popular artist with stunning artwork of coasts from around the globe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusie Hodge\u003c\/b\u003e is a UK author who has written widely on art, art history and art techniques.
