Join wildlife expert Vic Bearcroft & learn how to create a striking puppy & kitten portrait in pastel with this easy-to-follow DVD guide. Vic will take you through the five creative steps required, from sketching out to tonal layers, through to blocking out, details & finishing with highlights, which draw the piece together. Vic advises which part of the pastel to use to create texture & interest, as well as emphasising the need to keep working the pastel into the velour paper to maintain a soft, fur-like effect. All of the techniques Vic uses can be applied to any animal portrait, so you'll see your skills improve the more you use them across various different projects & paintings. Author: Vic Bearcroft ...

In this well-structured introduction to the flexible & forgiving medium of acrylics, Terry Harrison will show you how to paint a wide variety of subjects, focusing particularly on the extensive range of brushes he has developed. The book begins with a thorough guide to choosing your equipment, including paints, mediums, additives & surfaces as well as the little things like pencils & masking tape. This section also looks at colour choices & mixing, on which Terry is particularly sound. In the second section, Terry explains in detail how to use his own range of brushes. If you don't want to stock up on all of these, you'll probably find you have equivalents, but some are quite unique & the Wizard, with its two hair lengths, makes short work of grasses, reflections & foliage while the Fan Gogh is handy for clouds & the Half Rigger makes detail work much easier than its full length cousin. Terry now demonstrates a variety of techniques for painting trees, reflections, snow & more. He also looks at ways to create the effect of distance, introduce life in the form of birds, animals & figures & to handle texture mediums & glazing. The book concludes with a series of six step-by-step demonstrations covering winter & summer landscapes & a coastal scene as well as flowers, buildings & even a Venetian setting. Search Press.
