Artists seem compelled to try to capture the amazing variety of the
animal kingdom; the challenge remains how to breathe energy into
your paintings and make the animals jump off the paper. This deeply
practical book offers an accessible introduction to sketching
animals from life, to try to capture that essence. It gives
instruction on how to approach drawing; covers ideas for materials
and supplies to make sketching from life a joy; gives step-by-step
demonstrations of different watercolour techniques; offers specific
advice on using colour and painting, fur, feathers and features and
gives ideas for mixed-media experimentation. Full of colourful
examples and guidance, this new book explains how to transform your
studies into finished artwork that are brimming with character. It
encourages you to find the extraordinary in the everyday, as well
as revelling in the breadth of nature. Taking a contemporary
approach to traditional watercolour, the author shows how a few,
well-chosen brushes of paint can reveal the soul of your subject.
