Beautiful book, with lovely clear demos 30 Dec 2011

By H. Nye

Format:Paperback

A really lovely book with lots of useful information followed by 15 step-by-step demonstrations of very pretty bird pictures. Also includes line drawings for each picture for you to trace and use, allowing you to practice painting techniques alone if you wish. Backgrounds all seem to be done with acrylic on board, then the birds themselves in oil paint, with added quick-dry medium. This book has been very useful for me, and I would highly recommend it!

Beautiful results . . . 9 Feb 2008

By Alma Smith - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I purchased this book because of its absolutely beautiful conception of birds. I planned to paint them not in oils or in acrilics like shown, but in watercolors. The results were more than satisfactory and the directions made this painting so enjoyable. Anyone who paints in any medium would enjoy having this book added to the "artist's library" of references!
