CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Excellent book for novices or advanced -
After thoroughly explaining the equipment and techniques to be used. the author takes the reader through very detailed step by step illustrated descriptions of the steps needed to oil paint several animals common to many suburban neighborhoods along with some vegetation and/or flowers as a setting. (There's even a black bear for those in wilder suburbia.) There are typically 20-24 close-up detailed illustrations for each painting. Her techniques yield very realistic paintings; she shows the subtle differences in various types of fur and hair for the different animals as well as body shapes and realistic poses. A great feature is an uncolored line drawing for each painting that you may photocopy or transfer to your support and use as a basis for the painting (but it's not a paint-by-number thing - just a initial guide). Consequently you don't have to be an experienced wildlife artist to benefit from this book.

The paintings are very well done and illustrate her methods clearly. I'd highly recommend this for anyone, even novices, who wants to learn to paint their own animal pictures in oils.

Painting Garden animals -
This book is well laid out, excellent pictures, easy to follow instructions, lovely patterns, money well spent on this book.

Great Reference -
This is a great book for beginners or even a little more experienced painters. Unlike alot of step-by-step instruction books that miss critical steps(specifically the techniques - to me the most important part), Sherry's detailed pictures clearly illustrate what colours, brushes, and brush strokes to use to the very end of a painting. It's helped me get back into the hobby. The wildlife painting techniques have been very helpful. I still refer to it from time to time.

Almost like cheating -
Not only are the sample paintings easy and fun to create, but they give you very good ideas for your own compositions from photos or life.
