 Excellent for learning... January 14, 2008

If you're wanting to paint realistic animals, this is a great book to have. The author goes over many different animals (including a turtle, goat, horses, and even a snake!), not just the standard dog, cat and bunny. Great step by steps as well as 'reassurance' for that ugly stage of painting.
She really knows how to make the information easy to understand, and I'm glad to have picked this one up. I'll be using it for a long time.
My only complaint with the book is it would have been nice to see some more examples of some of the animals, and, of course, just more examples in general.
