Description
Animals are one of the most popular subjects for amateur painters -- but not the easiest. This book takes the artist through the pleasures and pitfalls of depicting live animals, both as individual studies and placed in a setting. Linda Birch draws on years of experience to teach readers how to capture these often elusive subjects. Starting with the basics of simple anatomy, proportion and form, Linda shows through her thorough, text and abundant use of step-by-step drawings, sketches, studies and finished paintings how to build up the skills and powers of observation which are crucial to successful animal drawing and painting.
