Just look at the pictures

If you have any interest in painting the sea or marine themes, you gotta have it. The ocean, the moon light and the incredible detail are fantasitic. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes looking at great marine art for pleasure or for getting ideas to paint from. Trying to imagine how this master painted what he did is amazing. I studied sea scape painting with a modern master, Loren Adams, on Maui and Loren claims this Russia as his greatest influence. Check out Lorens web site and you'll see the similarities. (Loren is the painter that most influenced the seascapes by current best seller Lassen.)I have no idea about the text in this book, this review only applies to the color plates in this book.Happy painting!
