This is a fully revised and updated new version of a popular RSPB handbook to the art and joy of drawing birds.
John Busby beautifully conveys his own remarkable ability to capture
the grace and motion of living birds, illustrating his ideas and
suggestions with many examples of his own work.


He also uses illustrations from over 45 other talented bird artists to
demonstrate a variety of principles and techniques. The text covers a
wealth of topics, including choice of media, sketching from life,
composition and different ways of interpreting the subject matter. This
is a beautiful and inspiring book which will appeal to aspiring artists
and anyone who has ever been entranced by the beauty of birds.
