Book
Drawing nature : the creative process of an artist, illustrator, and naturalist / Linda Miller Feltner.
"This book will introduce and depict the artistic process, illuminated by award-winning wildlife artist, Linda Feltner. According to Feltner, it all begins with curiosity and obsessively close observation of the subject, which moves to the creation of loose sketches and drawings, and culminates in a finished artwork, or the "final" stage. While it is not a how-to manual, the book does pull together drawing basics and more intermediate and advanced design skills to demonstrate how to use these in the creative process. There are seven chapters that build on each other to incorporate new techniques and concepts. It is designed so that the reader feels as if they're opening Linda's field notebooks, following her own creative process. The book will encourage new and established artists to take risks, develop their own powers of observation, and free their artistic endeavors from the expectation of a final, finished product. Each page is filled with stunning sketches or fantastic final artworks. "-- Provided by publisher.
