Great for professional artists

Answered a few questions I personally had about some specific techniques. Not for the beginning artist but certainly inspirational and a great library addition. A bit vague but certainly worth the money for any serious wildlife artist. I personally have gotten more from this book then many others in my vast library.

More of a gallery-in-a-book

I like this book a lot for the inspiration it gives....the artwork from the various artists is amazing. You can gain some insights on technique and structure from the artists, but this is more of a walk through a gallery, viewing each work, and the artist describing how they approached it. Don't confuse this as an instructional guide. Still, I really like having this handy, for inspiration and ideas.

A stunning collection

A stunning collection of masterworks from wildlife artists with detailed and helpful insights into their techniques. Not to be missed!

very nice and inspiring artwork but not enough detail about techniques used

this book only brievly describe the techniques used and sometimes what medium was used is not even mentioned. This is a nice book for the artwork, but as a teatching tool, it is not the book to buy. There are a few useful tips and a rough explanation with visual on how a mountain lion with cubs painting was done, but all we see from that is the 3 main step of that painting. Most exemple don't even go there and only have a bit of text explanation.
