Few creatures symbolise the beauty of the natural world better than birds, while their delicacy, poise and power combine to create an irresistible subject for the artist.
More than a teaching guide, the book is a sumptuous well of ideas and inspiration that covers everything from observing birds in the wild to photography, composition and setting. Award-winning artist Alan Woollett shows you the techniques, materials and compositional skills you need to create your own stunning realistic bird artwork using graphite and coloured pencils.
