This practical book explains how to capture the character of
various species of bird, without getting caught up in the detail.
It celebrates everything that watercolour can offer as a medium
when painting these fascinating creatures. It is not a field guide
but instead offers a path towards understanding the behaviour and
structure of birds to be able to paint their character. Topics
covered include: advice on materials and getting started with
watercolour; personal observation and drawing from life; looking at
the features of birds and how to capture their behaviour; examples
from major bird groups, including domestic fowl, birds of prey and
songbirds, and finally step-by-step demonstrations of watercolour
techniques.
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.

canvas and goes on to encourage new style and experimentation. It
gives step-by-step demonstrations on different techniques to
achieve loose, dynamic images. It is a beautiful and passionate
account of how to work on a non-traditional surface to achieve
striking and innovative paintings.
