Summary: Fantastic
Comment: The most informative exciting sea painting book I have laid my hands on. Very explanatory and easy to follow the demonstrations. I have learnt a lot using this book.
The colour wheel and colours used throughout this book is thoroughly explained. Also the focal point, moving lines and tonal value has helped me create an exciting moving,interesting painting. Very helpful for new beginners.
His exceptional knowledge of the sea and painting it with translucency explaining the use of clear colours and his willingness to share that with others is amazing.

Summary: Paint the Sea in Oils Using Special Effects
Comment: As a new painter I am very disappointed with this book.
I was hoping for detailed illustrations and step by step instruction. Well this is not it. In the product description it had mentioned for the beginner, well it's not for this beginner. Perhaps I'll try a Bob Ross " Joy of Painting"

Summary: For a sealover this is a six star book!
Comment: I love the sea, the summers are spent on an small island. I know the sea and I want to capture it, with photography, watercolor and oil. This book is a true gem! It is a must! It is a six star book! I love it almost as much as the sea itself...
The book is filled with illustrations that are of outmost quality, but also with detailed descriptions how to achieve the effects shown. It conveys a thorough understanding of water, how fluids moves, flows, breaks up and crashes, how light radiates through a fluid and how reflections on a stormy surface behaves.
This book is written by a man who loves the sea and who tries to understand it from the bottom up to be able to capture it as art. For anyone painting the sea, in whatever medium, just get it any way you can!
Added 2003-11-27: This is still my absolute favorite book among about hundred watercolor/oil books. I find myself repeatedly returning to it, it is still good! What I want to add is that you shouldn't expect it to be easy, painting sea is not a simple task for the beginner! However, even for beginners the penetrating depth and aim to really teach understanding the sea instead of a how-to-formula is helpful. For the old pro who have painted the sea for 20 years the book will still add a fundamental understanding you can't easily get any other way.
I firmly and warmly recommend this book! It is a timeless gem.
And do yourself a favour, get his watercolor book version also even if you don't use that medium!
