More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Birds are much admired, revered and envied. They have featured in art for many thousands of years and our fascination with them continues. They do though pose a challenge to paint and are not always the most cooperative of models. By understanding their anatomy and recognising their type, the artist can learn a shorthand way to capture movement and attitude. With technique and colour mastered, style develops and a special scene can be captured uniquely forever.
About the Author
Tim Wootton has been watching and drawing birds since childhood. He now lives in the Orkney Islands where he works directly from observational drawings in the field, usually painting and completing the piece in the studio. His work has been exhibited across Britain and is held in private collections throughout the world. In 2008 he was awarded a gold medal from Wildscape Magazine's Wildlife Artist of the Year.

At last! An art book written by an artist for artists. This is a fantastic book. It contains some really useful information and is packed full of wonderful examples of work by a wide variety of artists showing different styles of work. This book is a breath of fresh air, it doesn't follow the tired format of step by step approaches, but rather inspires and gives ideas for producing your own work. I think this book will have a wide appeal, and the techniques could be applied to drawing or painting animals too. My only criticism is the quality of the paper the book is printed on. It feels a little flimsy, which is a shame, as I feel this book will be well used and treasured for many years to come. That said, the book is a great price (especially from Amazon). As you can see I love this book, and I think you will too!

The artwork is an absolute visual feast and the text, `exercises', anatomical information, tips, advice, examples and so on seem to be some of the most comprehensive I've ever seen in a book of this type and I've only dipped into it yet. It takes the reader from the very basics of fundamental drawing skills all the way through to advanced techniques from some of the very best bird artists there are.
There's enough beautiful art to keep anyone drooling over the pages for hours, it's full of inspiring imagery that will make you want to get out and paint and draw for yourself.
A classic that easily deserves its place alongside John Busby's `drawing birds' on anyone's bookshelf.
If you don't have this book yet, do yourself a massive favour and get it!

This book is fabulous. it is written by a very skilled artist who is also a bird lover and consequently this shines through on every page. I am so looking forward to getting to grips with the content of this book - I have been looking and waiting for such a book for years.
