Dave’s method of creating depth in sea, beach and sky using lines projected from the vanishing point will radically improve readers’ seascapes. Finally, 3 step-by-step acrylic painting projects show how to paint a beach panorama with a rolling wave, a spectacular sunset over a calm sea, and waves crashing on rocks.
