About this title

Synopsis

Discover the Secret to Wildlife Paintings The long, coarse hair of the American elk...the distinctive makings of the peregrine falcon...the colorful glint of trout...the burning glow in the eyes of the wolf...these are only a hint of the rich variety of textures that exist in wildlife. By capturing these tactile details in your paintings, you give your wildlife subjects that certain "spark" they need to come to life. Leave them out, and your subjects end up looking lifeless and dull. The step-by-step demonstrations in this guide show you how to make fur look thick, give feathers sheen, create the roughness of antlers and how to achieve many other wildlife effects. Acrylic, Watercolor, Oil. This is a re-release of the book Painting Wildlife Textures Step-by-Step, originally published in 1997.
