Marine Painting in Watercolor by Edmond James Fitzger

The text considers water in many forms; not only as waves, but as fogs, mist, rain, lakes, waterfalls, and still water. The author explains the principles of perspective, reflections, and light refraction, and the effects of light and shadow on still water, ripples, and waves. He discusses the various color of water, foam, and waves, and why 'white' water isn't white.

This book explains how to render sky, clouds, and the intricate landscape of the shoreline, with its plants and animals and its wharves, boathouses, and other man-made structures, the reader learns how to paint boats, ships, and people of the sea and waterways, as well as still lifes composed of marine items.
