The Mediterranean; 4. In the Wake of Nelson; 5. North America and 6. The West Indies and Beyond.

Download or read book Nicholas Pocock 1740 1821 written by David Cordingly and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pocock was one of the great figures of English marine painting in the eighteenth century. His work is of outstanding interest to maritime historians because, in addition to his skill as a painter, he had spent many years as a sea captain. He used his early experience to great effect and earned the confidence of distinguished naval patrons. Pocock is unusual in that so much supporting material survives. Working drawings, sketchbooks and letters abound, allowing the author to draw an exceptionally rounded picture of a man who meticulously recorded British maritime history for nearly forty years. -- Jacket
Download or read book Marine Painter s Guide written by Jack Coggins and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ships and the sea have been an inspiration to artists since the earliest of times, as paintings by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans testify. This book by a noted maritime artist and teacher will serve as an excellent guide for beginners and intermediate painters. And for would-be artists interested in going beyond the painting of ships, there are other subjects to consider: beaches, fishing villages, the surf, a rocky coastline, and the open sea. The first painter's manual to cover such a wide variety of maritime subjects, this volume offers something for everyone—some technical details and ideas as well as what to do and what not to do. There's an abundance of practical advice on portraying a vast number of subjects—from docks, sea gulls, fishermen and their vessels to close-ups of ships' hulls, masts, and rigging. Useful tips on perspective, composition, and reflections (the hardest element in a marine setting to reproduce) are accompanied by diagrams and drawings, while step-by-step guidelines help artists capture the essence of an ocean scene and inject more realism into their work.
