Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This reference work is an unequivocal purchase for all libraries with any art instruction books to speak of. Rulon, both an artist and a photographer, has provided more than 500 quality photographs of 43 different birds. In two sections, one for water birds and one for land birds, he displays a large primary photo for each bird, with additional photos from several angles, close-ups of feathers and feet, and each bird in its natural habitat. He offers four demos (in acrylic, watercolor, and oil) and information on habitat, feeding, and physical characteristics to assist the artist in creating realistic images. This volume complements Gary Greene's The Artist's Photo Reference Guide to Flowers (North Light, 1998). Both are essential for artists, decorative painters, carvers, and crafters.

Artist Photo Reference: Birds,
By Fran Stanley (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Artist's Photo Reference: Birds (Hardcover)
I recommend this book to any bird artist or anyone who just likes birds in general. The variety of birds covered is good and the number of photos is excellent! The text is very informative, especially the information on number of tail, and wing feathers.

This review is from: Artist's Photo Reference: Birds (Hardcover)
I am happy with this book. Nice photos with enough clarity and detail to actually be used for reference material in doing art work. The information in the book is an added bonus because it is also useful. This book actually succeeds at being what it claims to be.
