 Excellent reference book October 3, 2008
This book was an impulse buy, since I am doing some painting from my animal photographs.
When it arrived I was very pleased to see that it is very worthwhile - there are many examples of different breeds of dogs and cats, with several different styles of painting, from oils and acrylic to watercolors.
The sketches are nicely done, with lots of detail about both technique and general composition as well as examples of eyes, fur, etc. Definitely worth the money and a keeper.

A well illustrated book that does not disappoint on any level.
Believe me, the book is worth buying. I paint pet portraits
often and most books had the been there done that feeling.
This one is much better than anything I had.
