If there is one thing that I equally parts love and am intimidated by, its representing animals artistically. Animals are so varied in esthetics and construction, that each piece poses a very different set of challenges. I was determined to put these fears aside and review this book: Draw and Paint 50 Animals.Right off the bat I really liked this book because it's a really a broads strokes approach to painting animals, which is exactly what I needed. As the title suggests, you are walked through the entire process of painting 50 different animals in a very "how to" technique driven way.I enjoyed that they artist herself injected context into why she had chosen that particular subject, and you really get a sense that she is a life long animal lover and it shows in her work. The book contained a really good variety of animals from birds to livestock and domesticated fare.It would have been nice if towards the end, there were a couple of pieces that were more involved, sort of "advanced level" difficulty for the more adventurous students. I also would have liked there to be more discussion around animal mechanics and construction as this is often one of the more challenging aspects of drawing and painting animals that have any sense of realism.All in all, I found this to be a very worthwhile resource book for the wannabee nature painter like myself and an enjoyable read for any animal lover.
This is a great book to start painting animals. A lot of pages with different animals. I started with the rabbit. I don't draw that good. instead I scanned the small drawing picture and blew it up and printed it and trace it to fit my canvas. Some are pretty easy to paint, some a little harder. I prefer to use oil paint, and acrylic for background. This book is a must have for beginner and experienced artist. The only negative thing in the book is they are only three pictures of painted cats, wished they had a lot more. A lot of books don't go into to much details just the basics. Note: to be a good artist its belter to paint what you see by using your own technique and colors and using the book as a reference. I find out I paint better this way.
This book is beautifully illustrated and explained for a student on any level. I am happily learning quite a bit and enjoying the process. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to study the drawing and painting of animals.
I appreciate the thoughtful text. It's clear and concise. Jeanne Scott lays out step by step how to bring a drawing to a full finished painting. Fallowing her instructions helps build confidence and still allows room for innovation.
This is a beautiful book and very detailed. I own the artist's other books and this is a welcome addition to my collection. The drawings and paintings are wonderful and well executed. Even if you cannot draw or paint, this is a great book to own if you like animals. I would love to see a coffee table book of this artist's work. Highly recommend!
I LOVE this book.It is an amazing book for those who love to paint.Each project in the book is well explained ( materials, type of strokes used,colors,etc) and you can paint quickly with great results .Packing was great and very fast shipping.Worth every penny.
This book is great with detailed instruction it is great for beginners in all mediums with eye pleasing outcomes. I bought 2 of these books because my painting buddy loved it so much I bought her one.
There are many step by step projects, with detailed instructions and the paper is hight quality. But the book is not being very useful for me as I was expecting more tutorials on drawing. It is mostly on paint.
