Wildlife Painting Basics: Deer, Antelope & Other Hooved Animals

Designed for beginning wildlife painters, this invaluable guide provides instruction that starts by elaborating on the important differences between various animals of a common "family." Fisher builds up the instruction starting with understanding the differences between the various animals that the book covers. Successive chapters focus on anatomy, showing action and typical behaviors, creating the right habitat for the animal, painting realistic colors and textures and tips on composition. Finally, all of these techniques are brought together in a complete painting demonstration. Throughout, step-by-step mini demos facilitate the artist's comprehension and mastery of the technique. Cynthie Fisher has been a full-time wildlife artist for 12 years, and the winner of six state duck stamp contests. She is a member of the Society of Animal Artists and has designed three different series of collector plates., ISBN13: 9781581800210 ISBN10: 1581800215 Material Type: paperback
