About this title

Review:

If boats are something you're new to or find difficult, this ones a winner. --The Artist

Boats and water don t need to be difficult, as Terry shows, and he blows away a great deal of the mystique that surrounds the subject and he makes it readily accessible in the process. --Artbookreview.net

This is a book filled with hints, tips and demonstrations and will take you right through from the basics to large craft in full sail on a rough sea or a populated harbour scene with several boats and onlookers. As you'd expect from Terry, it's the perfect guide. --SAA Paint Magazine
