Susan Rayfield Libri

From antelopes to zebras, the A to Z of creatures inhabiting the pages of this manual are depicted by ten wildlife artists who reveal their techniques for achieving realistic animal art. Emphasizing the important details of rendering wildlife, the volume devotes separate sections to animals' eyes, whiskers, beaks, fur, and so on. Sketches, studies, and reference photographs used by master painters show just how their bird and animal portraits evolved into magnificent finished works in watercolour, gouache, oil, pastel, or other mediums.
