Here is the most comprehensive guide now available on the enormously popular subject of marine painting. Written by one of the most venerated seascape painters in America today, Painting Sea and Shore shows amateurs, students, teachers, and professionals how to paint every type of marine subject.

Separate chapters are devoted to subjects such as materials and tools; composition; perspective; colors; wave action; skies; planning and executing seascapes; rocky shores; sandy beaches; open sea; boats; harbors; planning and executing harbor paintings; daytime and nighttime subjects; ships at sea and along the coast; painting on the spot; painting in the studio; and practice subjects for the reader. In a series of painting demonstrations, Mr. Ballinger reveals how the marine painter can master the sea and shore, in all its rich variety, in oils. Outstanding examples of the author's work appear throughout the book in color and halftone. This rich pictorial content will appeal to the author's countless admirers, who will want to own a gallery of his work. -- from dust jacket.

"For over 200 years, artists have been inspired to capture the beauty, violence, poetry and transformative power of the sea in American life. Oceans play a key role in American society no matter where we live, and the sea continues to inspire painters today to capture its mystery and power. In American Waters reveals that marine painting is so much more than ship portraits. In this exhibition, visitors will also discover the sea as an expansive way to reflect on American culture and environment, learn how coastal and maritime symbols moved inland across the United States, and question what it means to be "in American waters." Be transported across time and water on the wave of a diverse range of modern and historical artists including Georgia O'Keeffe, Amy Sherald, Kay WalkingStick, Norman Rockwell, Hale Woodruff, Paul Cadmus, Thomas Hart Benton, Jacob Lawrence, Valerie Hegarty, Stuart Davis, and many others"--Publisher's website
