#1 Place for Craft Supplies, Art Supplies, Artist Materials and Kids Crafts

Written and illustrated by Charles R. Knight, widely recognized as the most distinguished painter of animal life, this volume contains animal portrayals that are startlingly alive with beauty, virility, charm, power, and expression. Knight seems to have caught animals in the very act of feeding, stalking, resting, or in any one of the thousands of completely natural attitudes that animals assume. In this book, which is an extensive course in animal drawing, Knight offers an almost incredible wealth of practical instruction to commercial and fine artists, painters, sculptors, book illustrators, designers, decorators, and art students. He discusses art musculature, bone structure, animal psychology, movements, habits and habitats, and provides innumerable tips on animal proportions, the play of light and shadow, coloring, hair formation, feather arrangements of birds, scales of fish, animal expressions, and much more. This work should help both practicing artists and art students acieve more natural and lifelike drawings. Paperback, 119 pages.
