Painting the Drama of Wildlife Step by Step - Softcover

Featuring a foreword by the renowned artist Robert Bateman and brilliant reproductions of Terry Isaac's acclaimed work, this unique book offers artists a wealth of insight learned through years of experience. Isaac's distinctive techniques for creating realistic wildlife paintings in acrylics are revealed in four start-to-finish painting demonstrations, featuring methods for creating depth, capturing unique lighting effects, and integrating the subject with the scene. Isaac also provides practical advice on research and fieldwork, tips for pulling together reference materials, composition dos and dont's, suggested equipment and supplies, and 12 step-by-step mini-demos that show how to paint a variety of realistic textures including fur, feathers, grass, water and more.

Terry Isaac is one of the most often selected "feature artists" at national and international wildlife art exhibitions. His work has been featured in Audubon's Bird Handbooks, Painting Birds Step by Step and The Best of Wildlife Art.
