Dogs: More than 50 projects and techniques for drawing, painting, and creating 25+ breeds in oil, acrylic, pencil, and more!
February 1, 2018
Running through a dog show's worth of breeds, this guide by the Walter Foster creative team tours various art media, techniques, and styles. An especially helpful introductory section discusses rendering tricky canine features in different media and includes handy visual reference technique thumbnails. Subsequent chapters are devoted to basic realistic drawing; pencil sketching; oil and acrylic painting; pop art style; and mixed media. Fifty step-by-step projects walk readers through creating their own drawn, painted, and collaged portraits of dogs. A bonus doodle section departs from strict realism to offer fun, comic character-like canine depictions. VERDICT Dog lovers of beginning and intermediate skill levels will find the friendly subject matter engaging.
