Bird Art

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.
