Wildlife Painting

I purchased this book to replace the one I already owned, which I loaned out and never received it back. It is a book which does contain valuable information, however, I do not believe a beginning artist will benefit as much as an experienced artist. It really assumes the reader has knowledge of technique, color mixture, brush performance and other elements of fine art. A good reference book, not a teaching book. Jill Ball

Wildlife Painting Step by Step

This is a fabulous instructional book for artists and art lovers alike, specializing in wildlife of all sorts! Lavishly illustrated (both in color and B & W), this book is a rich sourcebook for sketching and or painting a wide variety of wildlife. Consisting of 6 chapters: Choosing a Subject, Collecting Reference Material, Painting Realistic Habitat, Posing and Composing, Techniques for Painting Textures, and Painting Wildlife Step-by-Step, this book contains 136 pgs. Some of the animals featured in this book are foxes, deer, wolves, cougars, wild turkeys, elk, raccoons, chickadees, woodpeckers, robins, grouse, dolphins, whales, and other aquatic life. I love the range of art techniques Patrick Seslar covers in this presentation, making it possible for the artist to "grow" and still benefit from the lessons contained therein.
