"Adorable Animals You Can Paint" is a delight to peruse. The illustrations make it one of the prettiest books I have seen. However, the purpose of this book is to guide the reader through a series of painting steps, using similar elements that Jane Maday uses in her own work. I emphasize that the book is to be used as a guide. Its intention is not to teach the reader to copy. Part of successful drawing and painting is using proper tools. Jane explains the aspects of various types of acrylic and water color paints. She points out the value of the different types of brushes. For example, while a large brush holds a lot of paint to cover large areas, a grass comb brush with bristles that separate at the end is great for painting fur so that you can paint several hairs at one time. She discusses palettes, paper types, other supplies and basic techniques. She shows step by step techniques for several projects. She lists color palettes, brush types, and other supplies needed for each project. It is a great way to practice before beginning your own projects. I have purchased this book twice. The first book was lost in a move. I recently replaced the book since I place such high value upon it as a reference book. I think anyone that enjoys animals and painting will enjoy this book.

By following the guide's step-by-step photos and instructions,you'll be be able to paint all kinds of adorable animals. Ten start-to-finish demonstrations show you how to capture the cuddly features and precious expressions of puppies, kittens, bunnies, chicks, fawns and more!

This book answered my question about how to approach the subject matter in the best way. Jane Maday's tips saved me lots of trials and errors and added to the enjoyment of painting adorable animals.

Besides being a beautiful book to look at, the in-depth step-by-step instructions are incredible. A unique hands on manual that walks you through the tools needed, demonstrations for painting in acrylic and watercolor. A must purchase for any artist.
