Good artwork; instruction could be stronger I'm a wildlife illustrator looking for a good, reasonably complete presentation of artistic bird anatomy. This is a handsomely designed, thoughtfully developed book, with a wealth of beautiful and inspiring paintings and drawings by a variety of accomplished avian artists. It does include a series of articulated bird skeleton drawings by the author, and several skilled, even sensitive renderings of bird musculature.

With technique and color mastered, style develops, and a special scene can be captured uniquely forever. This artists' resource explains bird types, and how identifying specific similarities can help the artist. It advises on painting in the field, using photographs, and working in the studio; describes how to paint plumage and birds in flight; and demonstrates how to compose a painting with emphasis on the birds' habitat. Thirty leading artists give their insights into painting birds, along with illustrations of their work, including John Busby—the author
