Book Description
Sherry C. Nelson is known for her innovative and creative methods for painting animals in oils and acrylics. In Painting Garden Animals with Sherry C. Nelson, decorative painters now have a chance to learn these techniques through detailed step-by-step instruction.

10 projects feature those cuddly animals we know and love--a curious kitten, a furry yellow chick, a playful squirrel--all placed in colorful garden settings. Plus, readers can paint wilder animals, including a fawn and wolf cub. Decorative painters will master each part of the animal, including its eyes, noses, ears and paws, as well as its realistic fur with distinctive color, markings, and length.

5 out of 5 stars Great Reference   January 18, 2008
This is a great book for beginners or even a little more experienced painters. Unlike alot of step-by-step instruction books that miss critical steps(specifically the techniques - to me the most important part), Sherry's detailed pictures clearly illustrate what colours, brushes, and brush strokes to use to the very end of a painting. It's helped me get back into the hobby. The wildlife painting techniques have been very helpful. I still refer to it from time to time.

Not only are the sample paintings easy and fun to create, but they give you very good ideas for your own compositions from photos or life.
