Painting Birds in Watercolour by Liz Chaderton

Painting Birds in Watercolour by Liz Chaderton is a practical introduction that will teach you how to capture the character of all kinds of bird species in watercolour - without getting caught up in the details.

A celebration of watercolour as a medium, this book explores all the wonderful properties these paints bring to these fascinating creatures. Rather than a field guide, this title offers guidance towards understand the behaviour and structure of birds in order to perfectly capture their character.

Topics range from advice on materials and tip for getting started with watercolour, to observation and drawing from life. Major bird groups are covered - like domestic fowl, birds of prey and songbirds - looking at their features and how to translate their personality into a watercolour painting. The book also includes step by step demonstrations of watercolour techniques.
