Product Description

Product Description

In this delightfully illustrated book Susie Wynne shows how to draw and paint a range of popular pets in watercolour – dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses – in step-by-step detail.

Learning how to paint your pet has great popular appeal. The Daily Mail weekend colour supplement has already featured Susie Wynne’s work twice and this brought in a huge postbag.

Susie specializes in painting people’s pets and over the years she has perfected her drawing and watercolour techniques to capture the unique personality of her animal subjects. Most doting owners want some permanent record of their pet, and in this book Susie shares the secrets of her success.

She starts by taking photographs of the animals, then does a loose pencil sketch and gradually builds up the right body proportions and the texture of the fur in watercolour. Susie believes the important thing is to capture the animal’s character and personality and that to do this you have to get to know the animal first.

Draw and Paint Your Pet includes plenty of practical instruction and thirteen full step-by-step demonstration paintings of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea-pigs and horses.

The author is at great pains to encourage the hesitant would-be artist rather than to show off how good she is herself. The level is pitched at a reader who has no previous artistic experience. Having said that, the illustrations are lovely and it is a great present for any animal lover whether they want to have a go at a portrait or not.

Susie Wynne has an obvious rapport with animals, and creates sensitive, fluid portraits in delicate watercolour that capture the essence of her subjects. Her book is full of clear guidance on how to simpify the structure of an animal, followed up with detail on defining the features and fur. With informative demonstrations and an encouraging text, a reader of any artistic standard will quickly be able to improve their skills.

Susie's love of her subject (animals and drawing) shines throughout this book. As a landscape artist I needed to put more livestock into my paintings but could never paint convincing animals. Susie shows you how in a simple way. And she reminds you to take it one step at a time and to practise, practise, practise (something all artists need to be reminded of from time to time). I thoroughly recommend this book.
