Synopsis

A summit meeting of wolves above the timberline. A cougar sharpening his claws along a rushing stream. The quiet after the storm. These are nature's special moments--and master wildlife artist Terry Isaac will show you how to bring them to life in your art.

In this book, you'll discover techniques for capturing the splendor of wildlife...for turning nature's inspiration into dramatic paintings. Learn from 12 step-by-step demonstrations how to achieve a variety of realistic textures, including fur, feathers, grass and water. Four complete painting demonstrations show, from start to finish, how to create realistic paintings filled with the beauty of the wild, and feature methods for creating depth, capturing unique lighting effects, and integrating the subject with the scene.

Isaac also provides practical advice on research and fieldwork, tips for pulling together reference materials, composition dos and dont's, and suggested equipment and supplies.

About this title

About the Author:

Terry Isaac is one of the most often selected "feature artists" at national and international wildlife art exhibitions. His work has been featured in Audubon's Bird Handbooks, Painting Birds Step by Step and The Best of Wildlife Art.

From Library Journal:

In a book that uses a broad definition of wildlife, Isaac explores the realistic textures of fur, feathers, grass, and water in 12 demonstrations. The book covers dramatic wilderness landscapes as much as the wildlife one expects from its title. This approach will be particularly useful for artists who have advanced beyond Rod Lawrence's fine Painting Wildlife Textures Step by Step (LJ 3/15/97). If possible, purchase both to satisfy beginning and advanced levels.
