An ideal beginner's guide to painting animals and birds in watercolour
for artists who are short on time.
This comprehensive beginner's guide to painting animals and birds in
watercolor is ideal if you want to learn to paint but are short on time.
Each of the 26 quick-and-easy exercises is worked at postcard size -
ideal for a 6 x 4 in watercolor pad - and takes no more than 30 minutes
to complete. Among the bird and animal species Matthew Palmer includes
in this title are: parrot, cat, dog and puppy, sheep and lamb, zebra,
stag, cow, swan, flamingo, elephant, penguin, robin, giraffe, snow
leopard, ram, rabbit, meerkat, monkey, rooster and tiger. The book
includes 3 larger paintings that demonstrate how to combine the elements
you have learned into a painting of an elegant cockerel, a tiger's head
and a team of dogs.
By creating these miniature works of art you will learn how to depict
domestic and wild animals and birds close-up, or in the wild; how to
portray realistic-looking fur and feathers, and how to capture a pet's
personality in watercolor.
Outline drawings of all the exercises and paintings in the book are
provided on tracing paper for you to transfer straight onto your
watercolour paper.
This is a genuinely exciting evolution of a popular series. You'll be
guided through some simple exercises and on to complete paintings,
gaining valuable insights that will develop and improve your skills. -
