Beautiful landscapes and wildlife scenes used as examples for the step by step tutorials. Jerry blended very well the theory and the practice. The book can be used by students in arts or by new painters.
Deborah W, Reviewer
"Wildlife Scenes in Acrylic" is an art instruction book on using acrylic paints to create landscapes that include animals. This is a good book for beginners, though perhaps not complete beginners since he didn't include much advice specific to acrylics or on creating realistically proportioned animals. His focus was more on painting techniques. He started by describing the specific tools and materials that he recommended and which you will need to complete the demonstration paintings. He defined some painting terms, described various techniques, talked about color, and provided formulas for mixing common colors that will be used in the demonstrations.
He provided step-by-step instructions for 8 landscape paintings: Yellowstone waterfall, swamp sunrise, desert path, night owl against the moon, horses in a spring pasture, ocean beach sunset, deer along an autumn creek, and birds among snowy pines. The instructions and illustrations were clear and easy to follow. Each painting had some new challenges, but the basics of how to achieve each effect was described so it can be achieved with practice. Overall, I'd recommend this book to acrylic painters interested in learning his style of painting landscapes.
