Seascape oil paintings have captivated collectors for centuries, and even today, many formal spaces proudly display at least one painting depicting a ship at sea. There is something about the motion of waves on the water that resonates with the soul of almost everyone. For an artist seeking commercial success, learning to paint in this genre would be wise.

While seascapes featuring sailing ships may be the most common, there are various other types an artist can explore. Popular themes include tropical beaches and turbulent waves crashing against rocks. However, at the heart of each of these styles is the sea with its waves.

The first step in painting a seascape is to create a color palette. At first glance, an untrained eye may assume that all one needs is blue and white for highlighting the wave crests. However, unless aiming for a crude style, this approach would be a mistake.

The sea is composed of numerous hues. Upon closer observation, one can discover shades and colors that might have been overlooked. Browns, greens, and purples hide within the varied tones of the basic blue. The darkest shades exist in the deepest waters, while lighter hues appear …

Since Barnes & Noble entered the e-reader market quite late, with the release of the Nook in late 2009, it was surprising to see the Nook Color edition come out just a year later. Marketed as the “reader’s tablet,” this Nook Color review will examine what the Barnes & Noble Nook Color offers as both a tablet and an e-book reader.

Size and Design

If you’re expecting a typical, ordinary e-book reader, you’ll be impressed by the Nook Color, which can easily be mistaken for a tablet PC at first glance.

Unlike traditional e-readers that use e-ink technology, the Nook Color features a 7-inch full-color LED-backlit IPS display. This type of display is similar to what Apple uses on its iPad and Mac devices. The Nook Color, however, is enhanced with Barnes & Noble’s custom VividView Technology, a screen laminating technique that reduces glare.

The Nook Color is slightly larger and heavier than the e-ink Nook. It weighs 15.8 ounces and measures 8.1 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in thickness. The front of the device is made of hard plastic, while the back has a smooth, rubberized finish.
