Wildlife Art
Singer (Rochester Inst. of Technology) has assembled a kind of portfolio of wildlife artArepresentations of small woodland creatures, dolphins, birds of the rain forest, and animals of the African plains. Each painting is accompanied by a brief statement by the artist on how and why their piece was done. (Many styles and media are represented.) Artists and wildlife educators might find this lovely book inspiring and useful, but artists looking for serious instruction on depicting fur, feathers, scales, antlers, and entire beasts should see Rod Lawrence's Painting Wildlife Textures Step by Step (LJ 3/15/97).Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
