Synopsis

Designed as a quick, technique-led guide, this book brings together instruction and inspiration for painting wildlife, from familiar garden subjects to more exotic animals. Hazel Soan sets out easy-to-follow guidance and step-by-step exercises aimed at helping you capture likeness with a few confident strokes, while building core skills such as speed, pose and proportion.

It also covers approaches to fur, feathers, hair, hides and markings, alongside advice on colour and light, backgrounds and settings, and further work that can be developed in the studio. Although centred on watercolour, the methods are presented as adaptable to oils, pencils and pastels, making it suitable for artists looking to develop their animal studies across different media.
