    • Arrived Early and Looks Like New
The only way to tell it is a used book is by the name labels previous owners put in and the gift signature. Very pleased with the condition and the content appears to be just what I wanted.

    • Painting your favorite animals in pen, ink and watercolor
Of all the instructional books out there, I really enjoy the ones Claudia Nice puts out. Painting your favorite animals in pen, ink and watercolor is my favorite. Clear, concise instructions. Great pictures, a plethora of animals to learn to draw and paint. I did find a couple of errors, the most noticeable is on page 56 at the top of the page is a picture of a cats legs/feet and it is mislabeled; labeling the cats "right foot" as it's left and it's "left foot" as it's right. Other than that, this is a "Go To" book for people who want to learn to paint animals. I would say it's a good book for beginners to those more experienced. The book also explains some anatomy and how to measure for proper proportion. I highly recommend "Painting Your Favorite Animals in Pen, Ink and Watercolor. ... show more

    • Excellent sketching & drawing instructions
This is an excellent book for learning and understanding the structure and emotions of different animals, even if you don't use pen and ink or watercolor. I have little actual art background and am pretty much self learning; this book is full of detailed information about ears, paws, different ways to show coat texture, etc. I was very pleasantly surprised at the detail that Claudia Nice covered and would recommend this book highly to anyone truly wishing to paint/sketch, etc, animals with accuracy. She also covers the actual watercolors she uses on the different paintings to give you an idea of how they work together to add depth and interest. Highly recommend this book to anyone with an eye towards portraying animals in all their glory. ... show more
