Review: Leisure Painter - March 2010

" Those who love painting coastal scenery and boats will welcome Robert Brindley's splendid book devoted to these subjects.
The author is a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists and works in oil, pastel and watercolour to great effect.
Like all successful marine artists, he not only portrays boats and coastal subjects, but has a strong feeling for colour and the effects of light, and so captures the essence of his subject convincingly.
He rightly emphasises the importance of painting en plein air to convey atmosphere, tone and colour.
He begins by offering sound advice on the choice of materials and equipment and on choosing and developing subjects. He also emphasises the need for sound drawing to capture the subtle lines of sea craft and for doing justice to coastal backgrounds - harbours, cliffs and beaches.
There is a particularly useful chapter on painting skies and water, and on capturing mood and atmosphere.
He gives his readers useful advice on traveling and on arranging painting trips and there is a helpful chapter on dealing with problems and difficulties.
Above all, the book is rich in illustrations. all of an excellent standard. The text throughout is helpful and down-to-earth."

(Ray Campell Smith)

Review: Amazon.co.uk - 12th December 2009

"This is one of he best books of its kind around. Unlike some it's not just the artist showing how clever he or she is but contains a huge amount of useful information for people painting in various media. Robert Brindley has done a great job and this will help improve your art."

(Malcolm Allsop - 'Townhouse Films')
