Painting the Faces of Wildlife Step by Step
Kalon Baughan is a highly accomplished wildlife painter, canoeist, and Colorado naturalist.  He and his wife, Brook, feature 18 painting demonstrations of bears, wild cats, birds, wolves, elk, etc.  The title notwithstanding, this book is not solely focused on the faces of wildlife.  Instructions for eyes, ears, and horns are complemented by renderings of fur and feathers and techniques for capturing natural movement in the wild.  Other fine books in this genre include Bill Tilton's Drawing and Painting Animals (LJ 3/15/97), but this volume adds essential advanced skills like the building of a floating blind and techniques of wilderness photography.
