Wildlife Painting Step by Step,
This review is from: Wildlife Painting Step by Step (Leading wildlife artists show you how to capture the spirit of animal life in all mediums) (Hardcover)
This is a fabulous instructional book for artists and art lovers alike, specializing in wildlife of all sorts! Lavishly illustrated (both in color and B&W), this book is a rich sourcebook for sketching and or painting a wide variety of wildlife. Consisting of 6 chapters: Choosing a Subject, Collecting Reference Material, Painting Realistic Habitat, Posing and Composing, Techniques for Painting Textures, and Painting Wildlife Step-by-Step, this book contains 136 pgs. Some of the animals featured in this book are foxes, deer, wolves, cougars, wild turkeys, elk, raccoons, chickadees, woodpeckers, robins, grouse, dolphins, whales, and other aquatic life. I love the range of art techniques Patrick Seslar covers in this presentation, making it possible for the artist to "grow" and still benefit from the lessons contained therein.

This review is from: Wildlife Painting Step by Step (Leading wildlife artists show you how to capture the spirit of animal life in all mediums) (Hardcover)
I purchased this book to replace the one I already owned, which I loaned out and never received it back. It is a book which does contain valuable information, however, I do not believe a beginning artist will benefit as much as an experienced artist. It really assumes the reader has knowledge of technique, color mixture, brush performance and other elements of fine art. A good reference book, not a teaching book.

Another pretty book,
By Patricia Matthews "Pat" (Virginia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wildlife Painting Step By Step (Paperback)
This is a beautiful book but not a lot of help if you're learning. It's more for an accomplished artist who would like to fine tune their craft. If I had seen the book before I bought it, I definetly would have saved my money.
