If you're wanting to paint realistic animals, this is a great book to have. The author goes over many different animals (including a turtle, goat, horses, and even a snake!), not just the standard dog, cat and bunny. Great step by steps as well as 'reassurance' for that ugly stage of painting.

She really knows how to make the information easy to understand, and I'm glad to have picked this one up. I'll be using it for a long time.

My only complaint with the book is it would have been nice to see some more examples of some of the animals, and, of course, just more examples in general.

This book really got me started painting animals. I've learned how to paint fur, feathers, and how to make a great background with shadows and light. Lee Hammond covers all the main issues a painter needs to know and in a simple format. This is a must read for acrylic painters from beginners to intermediate. Great references and wonderful examples.

I am a beginning student in Acrylics and found this book better then most. it gives great instruction , from a beginner level to more advanced. if you want to paint animals, then this book is for you. A great help from the author Lee Hammond.

I shared it with my painting class and several painters wrote down the info so they could purchase it...Jean Hansen

This is a great painting book full of details. I have many Lee Hammond artist books and I love them all.

Lee Hammond does a good job of teaching the use of acrylic paint when doing animals. I wish she'd have emphasized the basic drawing principals of each animal in addition to the painting, as it would have been much more helpful.
