Drawing is "the very essence of all pictorial art;" and this book approaches the challenging art of animal painting from the point of view of accurate representation of animal subjects on canvas. Combining useful information on important anatomical features with direction on how to handle the subjects and how to express their forms and postures; the author has produced a complete; inexpensive; at-home course in animal painting and anatomy.All aspects of animal drawing and painting are covered: drawing from life; anatomy in relation to drawing (not surgical anatomy; but a precise knowledge of the visible structure and movements of animals); characteristic movements of animals and suggestions on how to capture them in your picture; composition (design; restraint; rhythm; balance of light and shade; relative scale of animals and landscape; foregrounds); painting and color. 36 illustrations; mostly sketches by the author; depict horses; pigs; cows; dogs; and other animals in various life positions and movements.
