The layout of this book is clear and concise making it easy to follow. However, I did feel that the author relied on some known artistic knowledge of such things as tonal values, lighting, etc. As a beginner, I found there were many words and ideas that I did not understand which I floundered on. Nevertheless, in fairness the demonstrations were excellent and some of the best that I have seen. I liked the way the colours to each painting were shown which I found a great help. If you already have some wildlife painting experience then this book is ideal for furthering technique.

This books is everything an up and coming artist needs to perfect their work. There is great detail and information to assist with how to produce your best work.
Excellent step by step illustrations and guidance.

It is a great reference, and not just for wildlife, but for painting all animals. There is no shortage on tips and instruction along with plenty of actual finished art pieces.

For the artist who has had some experience with painting, this is an outstanding reference. The information gathered here is invaluable to those of us who pursue wildlife painting. I am very pleased with this book.

books at this level are rarely truly instructive. This is one of the rare ones that is.
