A Garden of Birds Volume 3 Jansen Art Studio

Join David in this beautiful study of artistic bird painting. David has been painting all varieties of styles of birds for over 35 years. Now, he will take you on a journey through some of his favorite and most popular techniques as well as some really interesting new techniques that give the birds even more life and realism while still keeping the beauty of a painting. Learn how to incorporate those techniques into your own style as he shows you a variety of painting options you can use to capture the image. David demonstrates feathering techniques as well and edge techniques to capture different effects. Rather than render each bird as a realistic impression, David will show you how to use the principle of art to not only paint an accurate rendition of the subject, but also how to turn the subject matter into a beautiful artistic painting using both old techniques from the masters as well as modern techniques from today's favorite styles. Almost 600 step photos for the 8 lessons. David also shows you how to sketch your subject, draw an accurate representation, turning birds and placing multiple birds in pleasing arrangements that you can then turn into a beautiful work of art with a variety of techniques. New lessons on color theory and mixing as well as multiple palette choices so you can develop your own particular style. If you have ever wanted to learn how to artistically paint beautiful birds, this is the book for you.
