Publisher's Synopsis
For this book David Bellamy has moved away from mountain landscape featured in his earlier books "The Wild Places of Britain" and "Painting in the Wild" to tackle the difficult subject of marine painting. The diverse landscape of Britain's coastline is his inspiration. His book combines artistic elements with descriptive passages of short walks that can be taken along the coastal path. The book is divided into two parts: the first gives advice to both amateur and more advanced artists, guiding towards a greater understanding of the complexities of coastal landscapes. The next section is devoted to walking and includes David Bellamy's personal thoughts and anecdotes, of interest to the walker, painter and conservationist alike. There is also a practical section including advice for the amateur painter.
