Painting Animal Generations changed David's perspective on painting and it can do the same for you too. It started with his desire to increase his ability to capture flowers and landscapes. He found that wildlife and animal artists use a completely different set of techniques than floral painters. Incorporating these methods added new life to his other painting styles. This book introduces new ways to visualize and capture subjects, no matter what that subject is. It is a great reference book for an artist's library. Join David as he starts a new series on painting animals with this unique take on compositions!
