What a wonderful book! This is the second of Claudia Nice's books on painting with watercolor, pen & ink that I have ordered. First of all it is a beautiful book just to read and enjoy. Her instructions are clearly written and easy to follow. The illustrations are wonderful! I've just finished reading it from cover to cover and can't wait to begin painting. I highly recommend this book!
This is an excellent book for learning and understanding the structure and emotions of different animals, even if you don't use pen and ink or watercolor. I have little actual art background and am pretty much self learning; this book is full of detailed information about ears, paws, different ways to show coat texture, etc.I was very pleasantly surprised at the detail that Claudia Nice covered and would recommend this book highly to anyone truly wishing to paint/sketch, etc, animals with accuracy. She also covers the actual watercolors she uses on the different paintings to give you an idea of how they work together to add depth and interest.Highly recommend this book to anyone with an eye towards portraying animals in all their glory.
I bought this book for information I was not getting with a sketching class. It had examples as well as information about techniques needed to use for drawing. I started using pen and ink. This book also had information needed for this and examples of the pen and ink. It showed the different physique of the animals to show how to draw and ink them.
I got this for an elderly and somewhat bored person who loves animals. I glanced at it before sending it out (I always do that with book presents -- cheating, huh?). It's GREAT. Clear, really nice looking, useful and not at all condescending to people who do not consider themselves novices (but are). Actually, I think this book is useful to everyone, regardless of level of accomplishment.
Love this book. So happy I bought it. Chock filled with great ideas. If you love artistic endeavors with an animal theme, this is a great reference book. Wish she had a book solely dedicated to painting dogs.
I was very pleased with this book as it gives detailed information to achieve the effect desired. I am looking forward to painting a portrait of my granddaughter's puppy. I recommend the book to anyone interested in learning to paint animals.
Of all the instructional books out there, I really enjoy the ones Claudia Nice puts out. Painting your favorite animals in pen, ink and watercolor is my favorite. Clear, concise instructions. Great pictures, a plethora of animals to learn to draw and paint. I did find a couple of errors, the most noticeable is on page 56 at the top of the page is a picture of a cats legs/feet and it is mislabeled; labeling the cats "right foot" as it's left and it's "left foot" as it's right. Other than that, this is a "Go To" book for people who want to learn to paint animals. I would say it's a good book for beginners to those more experienced. The book also explains some anatomy and how to measure for proper proportion. I highly recommend "Painting Your Favorite Animals in Pen, Ink and Watercolor.
I love this book, as the pictures are just beautiful and inspiring, but also because it works well as a reference book. It is one that I will use quite often as I am learning to draw and paint fur and feathers.
