Painting Animals That Touch the Heart

For many artists, evoking emotion and feeling is the ultimate goal of their work. Popular wildlife artist Lesley Harrison shows readers how to do just that in Painting Animals that Touch the Heart.

She covers everything from specific pastel painting techniques to choosing papers, reference materials and lighting. Another key component of the book is Harrison's strategy for identifying emotion in animals--the first critical step for a dramatic painting.

Readers will find a chapter dedicated to each of these popular animals:

-Big cats -Wolves -Horses -Dogs and cats -Baby animals (including a lion cub, gosling, bunny and otter pup)
