Book excerpt: From the pounding surf to the interior of a fisherman's hut, coastal scenes provide infinite inspiration and drama for beginners and advanced artists. In Create Dramatic Coastal Scenes in Watercolor, award-winning artist Carlton Plummer teaches artists how to capture the elements of the coast to make a dynamic watercolour painting. Readers will learn how to utilise the keys to drama - lighting, scale, value patterns, colour and more - so they can add intensity to their paintings. Plummer also shows how to use technical and intuitive thinking when portraying subjects and how to accurately paint tidal pools and the surf, lobstermen and clam diggers and other elements of coastal life.
